title = "Models, toys, and Beddoes' struggle for educational reform, 1790-1800",
abstract = "Beddoes always managed, through his many commitments and enthusiasms, to raise high expectations but, too often, as Roy Porter put it, he {\textquotedblleft}suffered from trying to do too much too fast.{\textquotedblright}2 But his underlying philanthropy was never in doubt. This is abundantly true of his long-forgotten educational plans, which involved the promotion and then the manufacture of what were then known as {\textquotedblleft}rational toys{\textquotedblright} (i.e. toys for use by the general public and for the educational advancement of their children).3",
