""An Analysis of the Experiment in Education, Made at Egmore, Near Madras"" is a book written by Andrew Bell in 1807. The book provides a detailed analysis of an experiment in education that was conducted at Egmore, a suburb of Madras (now Chennai) in India. The experiment was aimed at developing a new method of teaching children, known as the ""Madras System of Education"". Bell was a Scottish educator who had been appointed as the superintendent of the Male Orphan Asylum in Madras. He observed that the traditional method of teaching, which involved rote learning and memorization, was not effective in developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills in children. Therefore, he developed a new method of teaching, which involved the use of visual aids and the participation of the students in the learning process. In his book, Bell provides a detailed account of the Madras System of Education, including its principles, techniques, and outcomes. He also discusses the challenges and criticisms that the experiment faced from traditionalists and skeptics. Overall, ""An Analysis of the Experiment in Education, Made at Egmore, Near Madras"" is a seminal work in the history of education, as it provides a valuable insight into the development of modern teaching methods and the challenges that innovators faced in introducing them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
