An Original Hand Written and Signed Letter by Matthew Arnold. Letter dated 1885. A handwritten and signed letter by the writer Matthew Arnold on his work as a schools inspector and his book 'Popular Education in France'. 'Dear Sir, It is now many years since I saw the schools of the Christian Brothers. They are not to be compared with the Realschulen of Germany, for all that I saw were schools for the people, Volkschulen. What I thought of them you will find in my report on "Popular Education in France", which will probably, either in the form of a Bluebook, or in the form of a volume published by Messrs Longman, be found in the public libraries of Birmingham. Believe me, with many thanks for your kind expressions, Your faithful servant, Matthew Arnold'
