Education before the state
Medworth links to a von Mises Institute article on education in England:
In 1640, male literacy in London was more than 50%, and more than 33% in the countryside.
And:
…if universal education means at least 90% attendance, then a private system of universal education had been achieved in England by 1860—a full ten years before education became "free."
Good.
