Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Bibliography (Biographical and Topographical) Of Ackworth School
I have endeavoured in this book to record the contributions to literature made by old Ackworth scholars. It also indicates incidentally What has been done by them in science and politics, in religious and philanthropic missions, so far as these are represented in books or other printed documents. Other old scholars have attained to eminence as artists, doctors, engineers, inventors, and teachers, and some day, perhaps, the Ackworth Old Scholars Association Will arrange for an annotated edition of the School Register, which will include their names and give an account of their labours.
