The following correspondence lee ween the Ilishep of Exeter and

Lord John Russell. is taken from the Preffice to the tenth edition of a pamphlet entitled " Recent Meaeurss for the Promotion of Education in England," which pamphlet was published under tine authority of the.

Committee of Privy Council for FAucation. The first part of the Preface merely explains and corrects certain passages in previous editions of the pamphlet, which the Bishop of Exeter complained of as misrepresenting some of his remarks in the House of Lords ; but the letters suquined are important, as they exhibit the Bishop of Exeter (Dr. Phillputts) as sanctioning the principle of the Education scheme.
