In  1825  Brougham  published  his  Observations
xtpon  the  Education  of  the  People,  which  ran
through  20  editions  in  one  year.  In  1833  he
recanted  in  the  House  of  Lords  his  former
views  in  favor  of  compulsory  education.  In
1835  he  addressed  the  House  of  Lords  on  the
education  of  the  people,  and  urged  that  the
elementary  schools  then  in  existence  were  too
few  in  number  and  that  they  gave  a  kind  of
instruction  exceedingly  scanty  and  imperfect.
