Of course, Arnold's experiences of foreign education could not but have some influence upon his thoughts of domestic education. As he wrote in his 1867 General Report for Elementary Schools after his work abroad for the Taunton Commission: ‘It was natural, too, that in returning to the inspection of primary schools in England, I should have in mind both my former return to them after a similar visit to the Continent, and the experience which each of my visits to the Continent had afforded me.’ [General Report for the Year 1867
