This bibliography page is one of several bibliographies on the Learn in Freedom! site about homeschooling. Books listed here are books about homeschooling published before the year A.D. 1970. Other books about homeschooling are listed on the separate Web pages

English-languages Titles Before 1970

Poison Drops in the Federal Senate: The School Question from a Parental and Non-Sectarian Standpoint: Zach[ariah] Montgomery (Washington, DC: Gibson Bros., 1st ed. 1886) (photographic reprint said to be available from Amazon Books). Perhaps the earliest book-length work in the English language setting out the rationale for homeschooling rather than classroom schooling --although there is the epic poem by William Cowper (1731-1800), "Tirocinium: Or, a Review of Schools" (which was never published as a monograph, but only in collections) to consider in this regard.

Comments from anyone and everyone about additions to, corrections for, or improvements to this bibliography are most welcome. My goal is to make the several pages of this bibliography the most complete listing of monographs on homeschooling anywhere. Any book about homeschooling, pro or con, new or old, belongs on this list. So if you know of a book-length work about how to homeschool, why to homeschool, why not to homeschool, who homeschools, the legalities of homeschooling, the social policy aspects of homeschooling, or any other aspect of homeschooling, please let me know about it if you don't see it on the bibliography pages of this site. Please search this site

to see which pages on this site list which books, if you don't find your favorite book on this page. My special thanks to the publishers who sent me review copies of some of the titles listed in the bibliographies. Authors or publishers who wish to take that measure to ensure this bibliography and others posted at this site remain accurate and up-to-date may contact me by E-mail or, better still, send magazines, books, and other materials to the postal address below.

I am a satisfied customer of Amazon.com after ordering from it while living in the United States of America and in Taiwan. Many readers of my site have asked me to add on-line buying links for the books I mention on this site. (This site's origin was as a series of on-line FAQ files about homeschooling bibliography in 1992, on the Prodigy commercial on-line service. This site's content was first posted on the World Wide Web in March 1995--before Amazon.com was on-line!) Using the form below allows to search for anything in Amazon's huge on-line database, and ordering something interesting you find by your search may help the Learn in Freedom! site by a small referral fee from Amazon.

Especially, feel free to tell professional librarians about this page and the related pages here; many library patrons are looking for one-stop guides to the literature on homeschooling.
