Pp.3-6 headed 'Reasons for this publication', beginning: 'The almost uninterrupted and always unscrupulous hostility of the Globe to the Chief Superintendent of Education, during the twenty-two years of his labours to establish and mature a system of public instruction for Upper Canada, is, perhaps, without a parallel in the history of newspaper warfare, or of individual malignity. [...] The latest crusade of this compact against the Chief Superintendent, is on account of text books used in the schools, and the encouragement to Canadian published books, in preference to imported and inferior books. As Mr. George Brown has near connections in Great Britain, who are publishers of school and other books, he has set himself to crying down school books, which have been printed (but not by him), and some of them written, in Canada, and to magnifying and forcing the use of imported books into schools.'
