The fifth volume of Letters to Pestalozzi includes the period from August 1817 to 1820, a time marked by extreme poverty but also by the emergence of the Restoration, especially in Prussia. These turbulent economic, political, and personal events are reflected in Pestalozzi's correspondence. After many unsuccessful attempts, Pestalozzi was finally able to reestablish a facility for educating the poor in Clindy near Yverdon and his methods began to receive widespread recognition in England and in Ireland.
