I doubt if there ever was a man who devoted himself to labour for his fellow-men so ardently as Comenius did, in the field of religion, intellectual progress, and education, who was less of an egotist. He worked and wrote in the most single-hearted spirit. Much, very much, of the work he did for education was, in truth, done unwillingly and from a pure sense of duty. His main intellectual interest was his pansophy, the co-ordination of all knowledge with a view to the advance of humanity and th...e conciliation of religious parties. All that he conceived and did was conceived and done for the " glory of God, " and to advance Christian unity and a rational Christian civilization on a Protestant basis. An irenicon was the necessity of the times, and it was the dream of Comenius, as it was of Vives, Casaubon, and Grotius. Thus, in many essential respects he was the European popularizer of Bacon, and he was perhaps also the first evangelical Broad Churchman among Protestants. He was constantly, however, setting aside his more ambitious schemes to do the educational work that COMENIUS, THE SENSE-ENCYCLOPAEDIST 143 lay to his hand ; and this he called following the leadings of Providence.
