Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Vision of Life: Semblance and Reality "By the death of Mr. William Gifford Palgrave, the accomplished and adventurous traveller whose journey through Arabia in 1862-63 attracted such universal attention, the Royal Geographical Society loses one of its most distinguished members. The event occurred at Montevideo, where he was serving as British Minister to the Republic of Uruguay. He was the second son of Sir Francis Palgrave, the famous historian and Deputy-Keeper of the Public Records, and was born in Westminster on January 24, 1826. Like his eldest brother Francis, he was educated at the Charterhouse, and left that school with all the honours which a schoolboy can gain on entering on a University career. He obtained a scholarship at Trinity College, Oxford, his eldest brother having already entered at Balliol. At the early age of twenty, after an academical residence of only two years and a half, he took his First Class in Classics, in which class are to be found in the same year other distinguished names, such as W. Bright, J. Conington, and W. Ince, while T. G. Baring, the present Lord Northbrook, was in the Second Class.
