The account of Froebel's life given in this volume is supplemented
somewhat by the "Reminiscences" of this same Baroness, who became
acquainted with him in 1849, and was thereafter his most enthusiastic
and successful apostle. Till some adequate biography appears, that
volume and this must be relied upon for information of the man who
shares equally with Pestalozzi the honor of educational reform in this
century.

COMMENTS UPON FROEBEL AND HIS WORK.
Und als er so, wie Wichard Lange richtig sagt, der Apostel des
weiblichen Gechlechts geworden war, starb er, der geniale, unermuedlich
thaetige, von Liebe getragene Mann.--SCHMIDT, _Geschichte der Paedagogik_,
Coethen, 1862, iv. 282.
En resume, Rousseau aurait pu etre deconcerte par les inventions
pratiques, un peu subtiles parfois, de l'ingenieux Froebel. Il eut
souri, comme tout le monde, des artifices par lesquels il obligeait
l'enfant a se faire acteur au milieu de ses petits camarades, a imiter
tour a tour le soldat qui monte la garde, le cordonnier qui travaille,
le cheval qui pietine, l'homme fatigue qui se repose.
