THE early history of Mechanics' Institutions has been dwelt upon at considerable length, both because they inaugurated an im- portant era in the popular education move- ment, and because the narrative affords a key to Dr. Birkbeck's life-work. The further development of this movement, however, and the remainder of the career of its pioneer, need not be so fully detailed ; and indeed, if so treated, would be somewhat weary- ing, since but little novelty can be imparted to it. Henceforth his publ...ic work chiefly consisted in sustaining and extending the means of useful- ness he had called into being, and the means themselves, whilst becoming more widely adopted, presented but few additional charac- teristics. The history, therefore, can now take more rapid strides, and be chronicled in a more general form ; the object being to exhibit simply 102' THE PAR&NT INSTITUTION. The salient and noteworthy features of the intel- lectual campaign, not omitting to notice the hinderances and checks it received, and the manner in which it was assisted by our zealous and indefatigable philanthropist During the next few years the routine of the parent Institution appears to have undergone but little change.
