Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Harrow Life of Henry Montagu Butler, D. D: Headmaster of Harrow School (1860-1885), Master of Trinity College, Cambridge (1886-1918) No man´s life can be divided, as it were into water-tight compartments, without some loss of interest in its unity, or the correlation of its parts. There are, however, circumstances which may excuse, if they do not wholly justify, a division in this particular case. Dr. Montagu Butler´s life falls, more naturally than most, into two clearly marked halves, between which the year 1885, when he resigned the Head-Mastership of Harrow, forms the line of cleavage. Moreover, to arrange and digest the mass of papers which he left relating to his Mastership of Trinity and the various activities of his later years would entail a long delay, and there is a natural desire among his Harrow friends and pupils for a memoir of his Head-Mastership. I have decided, therefore, with the concurrence of his family, to publish the first volume at once. It is hoped that a second volume, dealing with the years at Gloucester and Cambridge, may be forthcoming at no distant date. I had wished to tell the story of his earlier life less in my own words than by quotation from his letters and memoranda. Of the former I have been disappointed to find how many have been destroyed. His life was a long one; he outlived nearly all the friends of his generation, and executors do not always cherish a reverence for the files of old correspondence. Where it was possible, I have tried to record his own thoughts in his own words. To those who have entrusted his surviving letters to me, or have assisted me with reminiscences, my thanks are due. To none more than to Sir George Trevelyan for his opening chapter, and to Mrs. Butler for her unremitting kindness in the arrangement of her husband´s papers, in opening to me the stores of her memory, and in giving me many valuable suggestions and criticisms.
