Excerpt from A History of the Origin and Progress of Adult Schools: With an Account of Some of the Beneficial Effects Already Produced on the Moral Character of the Labouring Poor; Also, Considerations on the Important Advantages of Which They Are Likely to Be Productive to Society at Large; With an Appendix

It has been generally believed, that the first schools for the education of adults exclusively, were Opened in Bristol and that not without reason, as it was perfectly unknown to the Founder of the Bristol Schools, that such had existed elsewhere. This, indeed, has been the generally received Opinion for two years past; but we must now yield the palm to Cambrian philanthropy. From information recently received from very respect able authority, it appears that the first Adult Schools were established in North Wales.
