August 1817-1820 (German, Hardcover)

The fifth volume of Letters to Pestalozzi includes the period from August 1817 to 1820, a time marked by extreme poverty but also by the emergence of the Restoration, especially in Prussia. These turbulent economic, political, and personal events are reflected in Pestalozzi s correspondence. After many unsuccessful attempts, Pestalozzi was finally able to reestablish a facility for educating the poor in Clindy near Yverdon and his methods began to receive widespread recognition in England and in Ireland."
