Attributed to Lord Brougham.
Let the soldier be abroad if he will, he can do
nothing in this age. There > is another personage,—a personage less imposing in the eyes of
some, perhaps insignificant. The schoolmaster is
abroad, and I trust to him, armed with his primer,
against the soldier, in full military array.
Lord Brougham—Speech. Jan. 29, 1828.
Phrase "Look out, gentlemen, the schoolmaster is abroad" first used by Brougham,
in 1825, at London Mechanics' Institution,
referring to the secretary, John Reynolds,
a schoolmaster.
