Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Impressions of Oxford DO you remember, dear companion of past days so long passed already, do you remember our walks through the arden of the Luxemburg ten years ago is-iappy time when, under the pretence of prepar ing for our examinations we talked of literature, amongst the marble statues in which lives again the remembrance of princesses long since gone! The statues themselves were very ordinary pieces of sculpture, but the names of the queens inscribed on the pedestals made us dream -vaguely. There floated before us on the afternoon air of the spring-time and autumn, the hope of a life so noble and so pure. Our great joy then was to dis cuss art, our worst grief the thought of the uncertainty of the truths of meta physics and religion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mirror of Oxford Within the past few years so much has written, and excellently written, about Oxford and its colleges, by minor historians, that another new book on the same subject may well expect to be challenged to give the raison detre of its existence. Much indeed has been written, but it has all been written to harmonise with the Protestant tradition. In the otherwise admirable guides to Oxford already existing, this is conspicuously the case. Wherever questions arise regarding the religious storm which burst over the University in the sixteenth century, statements are made, and inferences drawn, which in the light of present knowledge can no longer be sustained. Much, too, is said which to the adherents of the old religion is needlessly offensive: and on the other hand much that is deeply interesting to them is left untold. Now that religious disabilities are removed, and all the privileges of Oxford life are once again open to Catholic students, the time seems opportune for providing Catholic visitors with a story of the University written by a sympathetic hand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories of Oxford It is no uncommon thing nowadays for a young Frenchman to spend a term or more at Oxford; but M. Bardoux is the first of such quasi-undergraduates to give us his impression of University life and teaching. The son of a well known senator and literary man, he brought to Oxford hereditary culture and intelligence, and an acquaintance with what is socially and intellectually best in his own University of Paris. Of an age to mix on equal terms with undergraduates, while, after the manner of his countrymen, more mature in mind than his English con temporaries, he saw much that is here, yet passes unobserved before our too accustomed eyes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Key to the Popery of Oxford IN drawing attention to the subject matter of the present publi cation, the Author feels himself called upon to add a few lines by way of Introduction, not as requiring any apology for the step he now takes, but as an explanation due to those who may not have seen his former pamphlet, to which this is intended as another Appendix. Circumstances connected with the former, being rather peculiar in their nature, may better serve the end the Author has 1n view by being related than suppressed, as they will prove, when examined into, that the object aimed at wast an honest and simple desire to have the subject under dis cussion taken up by such only as had the power, talents, piety, and experience, requisite for such an enterprize. Ever since the year 1833, the state of things 1n respect to religious truth in Oxford, had been becoming gradually mme decided in its cha racte1, and no step was taken by any one to remedy the growing evil.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Oxford Even as it is, I have been unavoidably compelled to save space by omitting much that I had written and practically all my refer ences and acknowledgments. Yet, where one has gathered so much honey from other men's flowers not to acknowledge the debt in detail appears discourteous and ungrateful; and not to give chapter and verse jars also upon the historical conscience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aspects of Modern Oxford Critics may ask why a book published sixteen years ago is reprinted without addi tion as 'aspects of mocjem Oxford.' Many things, they will say, have happened since then: there is a new golf course, and no one now plays ringoal. And why does he not say something about Ruskin College or University Reform I have two defences, and the critic may take whichever he likes. I might say that assorted impressions drawn from periods so diverse as the nineteenth century (now recognised as mistaken) and the twentieth (generally acknowledged to be right) would be too miscellaneous to appear within the same covers. Or, again, I could plead that what was true in 1893 is still true in 1909, because Oxford only appears to alter, and in reality remains very much the same: 'plus cela change, plus c'est la meme chose.'
