Walter Herbert Small, a former superintendent of public schools in Providence, Rhode Island, wrote this book to emphasize the evolution of New England schools. A note found on page vii, made by William Holden Eddy, states that Small had completed chapters 1-12 before his death, and chapter 14 was an address delivered to an audience of teachers. Small writes of the New England Grammer School in the eighteenth century, school districts, schoolmasters, grants and donations, schoolhouses, education of girls, private schools, education laws, classroom studies, school sessions and years, and discipline. The rest of the book, however, was arranged by the editor from "references collected and classified by Mr. Small, coupled with outlines and memoranda of varying degrees of fullness."
In the very beginning, Small had dedicated his book to Dr. Albert F. Blaisdell, whom he described as: "Friend and teacher of my student days."

In the Foreward, Small states his overall purpose for writing this book. He states that he is not writing a history of the New England Schools: "However, this is not a history, but rather the materials out of which history may be made."
