  One in a series of books which reconstruct everyday events in Britain at the end of the 19th century, using contemporary photographs, objects and documents. This book looks at a typical school day for children at that time. It describes the type of schoolroom they learned in, and the use of equipment such as an abacus and a copperplate. It includes background information on schools and lessons and a time-line to indicate important events.
