He held a number of government positions, and as vice-president of the Committee of Council on Education (1859–1864) he introduced the controversial 'payment by results' scheme, 'results' being measured by examinations and constituting the pre-condition for the payment of State grants. Mr Sylvester assesses Lowe's career and political importance, and argues for a reconsideration of his somewhat reactionary reputation.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of tables\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e List of abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e 1.
