Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Eton College: 1440-1875 An historical work on Eton admits of several modes of treatment, and commands the interest of persons of various tastes and habits of thought. According to some, it should be a biographical register of successive Provosts, Fellows, and Masters, who have guided a great national institution through more than four centuries of almost unbroken prosperity; according to others, it should trace the continuous existence of an ecclesiastical corporation, richly endowed and boasting a picturesque pile of medieval buildings; some think that it should follow the careers of a vast number of England's greatest men from the cradle to the grave; others that it should be a record of educational progress, a treatise on grammars and exercises; while yet another class would wish to see in it a faithful picture of school life at different periods, with long accounts of popular games and boyish adventures.

Download or read book Eton College Lists 1678 1790 Classic Reprint written by R. An. Austen Leigh and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eton College Lists, 1678-1790 MY object in publishing the present volume is to supplement as far as possible the records of the School previous to 1791, when the School Lists first began to be printed. Before that date, in the absence of any printed record, it has been hitherto almost impossible to say whether any particular boy was at Eton or not, and it is my hope that the lists here printed with the accompany ing index may to some extent remove this difficulty. The present volume contains lists for the following years, viz.: 1678, 1698 (printed in Appendix 1706, 1707, 1718, 1725, 1728, 1732, 1742, 1745, 1747, 1753, 1754 and 1756 - 1790. 'i should not have presumed to print so incomplete a collection, had I any expectation that by a longer delay I might be able to discover an appreciable number of the missing lists. But taking into consideration the fact that Etonians have been collecting these ms. Lists for some seventy years, and moreover that during the last four years I have done all in my power, both by circulars to Old Etonians and by public advertisements, to discover further lists, I think it better to publish at once those in existence than to defer publication indefinitely. For it is, I fear, hardly probable that a complete set of lists even for the first half of the 18th century will ever be brought together, though I am not without hope that this volume, by exciting interest in the subject, may lead to further discoveries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Eton College Register, 1753-1790: Alphabetically Arranged and Edited With Biographical Notes With the period of the register thus fixed, my next step was to arrange in alphabetical order all the names contained in the lists, adding the years during which they appeared therein. This task, which was carried out for me by Mr. Murison, the Corrector of the Eton College Press, was laborious, but on the whole easy, owing to the fact that boys usually retained the same relative positions in the school yet it had Its occasional difficulties when boys changed their names while at school, or after being oppidans became collegers, or when there were many boys Of the same name. For instance, it has proved an almost impossible task to disentangle the various boys of the name Of Smith, though I have had better fortune with the owners of the names of Brown and Jones. Accordingly, I found myself confronted with some three thousand surnames, which all needed to be identified before it was possible to give any notes on the subsequent careers of their possessors. For, out Of the three thousand, only the names Of boys with titles and of the collegers Offered any Obvious means Of identification.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of an Eton Colleger: 1898 1902 During the few years that I had the honour of enjoying the bounty of King Henry the Sixth as a Colleger of Eton, I met many people, wholly or partially ignorant of Eton life and its ways, who were most anxious to know how we got on in College. They asked many questions, and I gathered from their general tenor that the world at large, or such part of it as was at all interested in Eton, believed that the Collegers were badly housed, badly fed, and generally had a most rotten time of it, if I may use schoolboy slang. Looking back on my school-time, I can say with perfect sincerity that, far from being badly housed and badly provided for, I have never spent such happy years as those with Mother Eton in the classic shades of College.

Download or read book Annals of the King s College of Our Lady of Eton Beside Windsor Classic Reprint written by Wasey Sterry and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-08 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of the King's College of Our Lady of Eton Beside Windsor Prefaces are proverbially left unread, but they serve an office similar to that of the letters to the Chancellor of the Exchequer signed with initials and enclosing the halves of bank notes. They are the method by which the author pays conscience money; and anyone writing a history of Eton will find that his debts cannot fail to be heavy. After Sir Henry Maxwell Lyte's monumental book there are but beggarly gatherings for the gleaner, and I cannot express too humbly how much I am indebted to him. Next to that, Willis and Clark's Architectural History of Cambridge, and Etoniana, a brilliant book by a non-Etonian, have been of great service. The Sloane MSS. in the British Museum and the Rawlinson MSS. at Oxford contain a good deal of matter in a somewhat chaotic state and with a great deal of repetition, but they are the foundation of all the histories of Eton. I should have liked to have made more detailed examination than has been possible of the Eton muniments, which sadly want proper calendaring and arrangement. Some gleanings have been afforded by the Calendars of State Papers and the Reports of the Historical MSS. Commission; but it is much to be wished that some more of our Etonian families would search their family papers for old letters and diaries that would throw light on the daily life of Eton boys in past times.

He was handsome-looking, about thirteen; but there was a bad expression about his face. He dressed rather loudly; he had a blue frock-coat on, a pair Of shepherd's-plaid trousers of a very large check, and an Eton blue tie confined by a fine cameo ring. He was considered by his tutor one Of the idlest and worst boys in the school. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
