Author states:"Oxford and Oxford Life," which I edited in 1892 (Methuen & Co,),was an attempt to describe the University as it
is;the present little book attempts to describe it as it has been,but with constant reference to the surviving memorials of the past.Though it is mainly a history,I trust that through the appendices and the index (in which I have mentioned all places of interest referred to),it may be useful as a guide book,
especially as I have been careful to mark with an asterisk (*) all the Oxford
worthies mentioned who are represented by portraits in the College Halls.
