Excerpt from Everyday Life in Our Public Schools, Sketched by Head-Scholars of Eton, Winchester, Westminster, Shrewsbury, Harrow, Rugby, Chaterhouse: To Which Is Added a Brief Notice of St. Paul's and Merchant Taylors' Schools, and Christ's Hospital, With a Glossary of Some Words in Common Use in Those Schools
The story of those great educational institutions which have exercised so marked and admirable an in¿uence on English home life has always had an exceptional interest for old and young. There are few parents, indeed, who would not desire to educate their sons at a Public School; and there are few lads of any Spirit who would not hail with satisfaction the prospect of entering one. This book will, I venture to hope, be of some service and furnish some entertainment to both - to the parent in reviving a period of life which has a charm for most of us; to the boy in relating plainly and circumstantially all that he most wishes to know when, bidding home good-bye for the first time, he plunges into the rougher ways of school life.
