Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Dr. Samuel Butler, Vol. 2: Head-Master of Shrewsbury School 1798-1836, and Afterwards Bishop of Lichfield; In So Far as They Illustrate the Scholastic, Religious, and Social Life of England, 1790-1840, March 7, 1931 Dec; 4, 1839 "Dear Sir - Whilst I express my thanks to you for your kind congratulations on James´s success, I must not forget to acknowledge my obligation to you, through whose able instruction my son has attained this highly distinguished honour. I remember to have heard it said, on the election of one of your pupils to an University Scholarship at Oxford, that he was longè primus; no one, I think, will deny the just title of longè longeque primus to the individual who has produced the three first men at an examination of upwards of fifty candidates for an University Scholarship, a circumstance unparalleled in either University." "Your account of the effect which the result of the election at Corpus has had on the school I have read with deep concern. It is too painful to dwell upon, and hopeless thoroughly to explain. All I will say upon it is that I am inclined to attribute very much of it to a faulty but long-established mode of examination, and to an erroneous judgement, rather than to any intentional want of principles.
