The Book of Rugby School


Book Description

Excerpt from The Book of Rugby School: Its History and Its Daily Life The following Papers have been written with the view of supplying a need, which various documents have met in part, but none entirely, - the need of a work embracing the entire History of Rugby School, in its Institution, Buildings, and Educational System. Some amount of definite and accessible information respecting every place of National Education is due to the Public. And for the sake of the School itself, it is surely desirable that its old memories and former associations should not be trusted to the precarious vehicle of tradition, but thrown into the more permanent shape of a written record. Rugby's connections with the past are now of nearly three hundred years' standing, and we feel that she has no reason to be ashamed of them.

Rugby School Register, Vol. 1


Book Description

Excerpt from Rugby School Register, Vol. 1: From 1675 to 1849 Inclusive, With Annotations and Alphabetical Index IT is hardly necessary to state that the Compiler of an Annotated Register of Rugby School does not pretend to entire accuracy or completeness. His object has been to place upon record the doings of Old Rugbeians, with a notice of the principal distinctions gained by them, and, although delay in the present publication would have insured greater accuracy and completeness, the Com piler has thought it desirable that, as the work has been called for by many Old Rugbeians, it should appear in its present form, leaving imperfections to be corrected and omissions supplied in a.

Rugby

Excerpt from Rugby: The School and Neighbourhood ON more than one occasion, in the two or three last years of his life, I suggested to Mr. Bloxam the desirability of collecting together into one volume his various writings on Rugby School and its Neighbourhood.

Rugby School Register


Book Description

Excerpt from Rugby School Register: From 1850 to 1874 Inclusive IN bringing out this additional portion of the Annotated Rugby Register (1850 the object mainly kept in view has been to make the book useful, not only as a chronicle of the doings of Old Rugbeians, but also as a book of reference for those who wish at any time to discover the whereabouts of their old school fellows, and to Secretaries of Clubs and similar institutions. Hence addresses have been given, wherever they could be obtained, and it is hoped, with a view to lightening the labour of such com pilation in future, that Old Rugbeians will keep mr. Lawrence informed as to any change of address, or any details of interest as to their own careers. Imperfect as the book must necessarily be, the Editor trusts it may yet be interesting and serviceable to many of those who love their old School he must also add that, as it is impossible to incorporate the many additions and corrections to Volume I. In the text, these have been added, as far as has been. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Rugby School Register, Vol. 2


Book Description

Excerpt from Rugby School Register, Vol. 2: From August, 1842, to January, 1874 The revision of that part of the Register comprised in this volume, and particularly the period 1850-1874, has naturally been a far easier task than was the case in the earlier part. The entries in the Album were accurately transcribed for the edition of 1886, and the corrections now made have been for the most part supplied by the bearers of the names themselves. The Album has, however, been carefully studied and the contemporary School Lists examined. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Rugby School Register, Vol. 1


Book Description

Excerpt from Rugby School Register, Vol. 1: From April 1675 to April 1842 As the present Volume attempts a revision of the entries from the very beginning of the Rugby School Register, involving corrections which could only be made on documentary authority, the Editor has been advised to abandon the tradition by which previous editions have been published anonymously. In taking this course he feels it his first duty to acknowledge to the full his obligations to those who have been before him, without whose labours to build upon he certainly would not have undertaken the task.
