Early Days At Uppingham, Under Edward Thring

""Early Days At Uppingham, Under Edward Thring"" is a memoir written by an anonymous author, who identifies himself only as ""An Old Boy."" The book chronicles the author's experiences as a student at Uppingham School, a prestigious public school in England, during the tenure of Edward Thring, who served as headmaster from 1853 to 1887. Thring was a controversial figure in the world of education, known for his unorthodox methods and his dedication to physical fitness and outdoor activities. The author provides a vivid account of life at Uppingham during this period, describing the school's routines, traditions, and social hierarchies. He also offers insights into Thring's educational philosophy and the impact it had on the students who attended Uppingham. The book is a fascinating glimpse into an important chapter in the history of British education, as well as a valuable resource for anyone interested in the social and cultural history of the Victorian era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
