Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memories of Eton Sixty Years Ago
No book of this kind can be written without mentioning names, and dwelling on the different methods and peculiarities of those mentioned. Almost without exception they have passed away, but their relations and friends remain. Every effort has been made that nothing should be here written which could reasonably give offence or cause annoyance to others.
The illustrations are not intended to present a complete survey of Eton, but only a few views of buildings, etc., which no longer exist, or of landscapes no longer visible as formerly, with portraits of some of the masters mentioned in the text. The rhymes inserted here and there are also in the nature of illustrations, depicting in some cases a phase of Eton life which has passed away. They need not be taken too seriously.
