Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The English Universities, Vol. 1: From the German of V. A Huber The following Work presents the English reader with the general history of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, from the earliest period to its natural termination at the Revolution of 1688. It contains ample details concerning the ancient University Constitution and its later changes; - concerning that curious and dark subject, the Academic Nations; - the Town Corporations and their long struggle with the Universities: - as also the relation of the latter with the Church, the Crown, and finally with the Parliament. As far as the materials allow, the internal and moral history of the Universities has been carried down to the present day. Many of the most remarkable personages connected with them are particularly described, and the connexion of University sentiments and manners with the contemporaneous events in England is carefully traced. To the learning usually characteristic of Germans, the Author adds a remarkable insight into the working of British Institutions; and his developement of the action and reaction which goes on between Aristocratic Society, the Church, the Universities, and the State, will be read with interest, it is beheved, by the best informed Englishmen. The work has the peculiarity of presenting both our old Universities in a single view, and illustrating them alike by their analogies and by their contrasts.
