This 2023 "Centenary Edition" contains one bonus section that our Home Education Series edition of this book does not have (the Appendix A).
An Essay Towards a Philosophy of Education by Charlotte M. Mason is a classic work that presents a comprehensive overview of her educational philosophy. Mason’s priority of a broad curriculum—intended to be filled with opportunities for children through nature walks, art study, and “living books” rather than dry textbooks—shows how she envisioned learning to be a delight throughout life, rather than mere rote memory.
We thank the Charlotte Mason Institute for the use of what we have added as Appendix A, "Some Impressions of the Ambleside Method," and Charlotte Mason Poetry and their transcription team for the text of the "Two Educational Ideals" chapter. In addition, we have licensed two images from The Armitt Museum and Library in Ambleside, England. The "Home Education Series" edition of this (2025) has the "Educational Ideals" chapter but not the Appendix, which is only in this Centenary Edition.
