Rugby (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Rugby<br><br>There is nothing new in this little book, which simply aims at giving in a convenient form information about the School. I have endeavoured to make it as complete and accurate as possible, but I have no doubt that there are omissions and mistakes, and I shall be very grateful to any reader who will point out such to me.<br><br>Those who wish to make fuller acquaintance with the history of the School may be referred to the two standard works which have supplied the materials for the short sketch in this book, viz., "Rugby, the School and Neighbourhood," collected and arranged from the writings of the late M. H. Bloxam, O.R., F.S.A., by the Rev. W. H. Payne-Smith, M.A. (1889), and "A History of Rugby School," by W. H. D. Rouse, M.A. (1898).<br><br>My best thanks are due to the Rev. A. T. Michell, Mr. Morris Davies, Mr. A. J. Lawrence, and other Old Rugbeians for helping me with much information; also to the Old Rugbeian Society for the use of the map on p. 91, and to Messrs. E. H. Speight and G. A. Dean for the use of many photographs.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
