1831 Feb. 6
J.B. to Examiner

Ready removed in for &
in for Bowring all for of Saty 5 Jany 1831

The Schoolmaster is abroad saith the aphorism – the
so highly useful aphorism sent forth into the civilized word world
by Henry Brougham. The Schoolmaster, but for
instruction in what and mortificationbrand of intellectual aptitude? Answer
in every breast without exception or distinction; and, so for
the will.

But as to this matter, what did Jeremy Bentham? Lay
before in the Henry Brougham said The schoolmaster is
said Jeremy Bentham The is in the imperative
mood. Let Be the Schoolmaster sent abroad! Be he sent
abroad for the purpose and with the certainty of administering effectual instruction in an art the possession of which
is indispensably necessary to the possession of appropriate
aptitude in respect of a right of which with reference
to the possession of the right of voting for in the election of
those in whose hands the power of legislation is entrusted,
is of such paramount importance.

Curtail not yourselves with sending the Schoolmaster
abroad, but (it being in your power) apply his labour
to the special purpose of his administering instruction in the
subject in question; and it being also in your power
render the reception and possession of this some instruction on the part of
everyone of the individuals in question, matter of absolute
certainty. And, what, in relation to any
subject matter is instruction on the one part good for, but in
so far as it is followed and accompanied by possession
as the other part?

In Bavaria, of human beings old enough to
have learnt not a single one that does not read and
write.

In Denmark – (the Boeotia of Germany it has
been called) – state of things the same.

Ye who, under and by virtue of matchless constitution
– envy and admiration of surrounding nations –
strain every nerve to keep your fellow men of this your country
in the state and condition of beasts of the field, – think of these things.⊞1 In the possession of
every man an equal
share in the means of
having his welfare attended
to – this is one
good thing; in the hand
of every man a key to
useful knowledge in
every shape – this is
another good thing: and
of these two good things,
on the plan of Mr Bentham,
the one is effected
by the instrumentality
of the other: thus are two birds killed (as the phrase is) by one stone. End.
