Edward Lyttelton (1855–1942) was an English cricketer, schoolmaster and Church of England clergyman. In this book, which was originally published in 1922, Lyttelton explores the role of education in society through an imagined correspondence between two figures, one with a worldly viewpoint and another with a position based around Christian piety. During this exchange ideas are developed regarding the secular and the sacred in their relationship with the teaching of the young. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the writings of Lyttelton, theology and the history of education.
