A defense of English public [i.e. private] education against charges made by the Lord Bishop of Meath. Since the Lord Bishop of Meath had based his arguments on testimony made by Dr. Rennell, William Vincent attempts to disprove Dr. Rennell's position and cast doubt upon his credibility. Very good .
