Robert Hebert Quick

Robert Hebert Quick (September 30, 1831-1891) was an English educator and writer on education.

Born in London, he went to private school and then went on to Trinity College, Cambridge in 1854 and was ordained the following year. Afterward he was assistant to Dr. Merriman at Cranley and assistant master at Harrow, and he was the first to lecture at Cambridge on the history of education (1881). His "Essays on Educational Reformers" (1868; second enlarged edition, 1890) is a valuable work. He also wrote on Fröbel, edited Locke's "Some Thoughts Concerning Education" (1880), and reprinted with notes Mulcaster's "Positions" (1888).

His personal library forms what is now the greater part of the Quick Memorial Library collection at the University of London Research library. Books, pamphlets and periodicals are included, dealing with most aspects of education.
