British education, or, The source of the disorders of Great Britain : Being an essay towards proving, that the immorality, ignorance, and false taste, which so generally prevail, are the natural and necessary consequences of the present defective system of education : With an attempt to shew, that a revival of the art of speaking, and the study of our language, might contribute, in a great measure, to the cure of those evils : In three parts : I. Of the use of these studies to religion, and morality; as also, to the support of the British constitution : II. Their absolute necessity in order to refine, ascertain, and fix the English language : III. Their use in the cultivation of the imitative arts : shewing, that were the study of oratory made a necessary branch of the education of youth; poetry, musick, painting, and sculpture, might arrive at as high a pitch of perfection in England, as ever they did in Athens or Rome / By Thomas Sheridan.
