Focusing on the evolution of education in the nineteenth century, this study explores its pivotal role in industrial development and social structure formation. Dr. Sanderson analyzes literacy trends and their impact on creating an industrial labor force, while also contrasting the successful emergence of a middle-class scientific culture in the eighteenth century with the shortcomings in technical education during the nineteenth. The revised and updated work engages with academic debates, highlighting the importance of education in broader economic and social contexts.
