Excerpt from Scholae Academicae: Some Account of the Studies at the English Universities in the Eighteenth Century
NO one who has any experience of the working and life of Cambridge can be ignorant how completely we have been removed from Cambridge of half a century ago, or that we have lost almost the last glimpse of what our University, even forty years since, was like.

Book Description:
In this book, published in 1877, Christopher Wordsworth, the great-nephew of the poet, describes the state and the syllabuses of the English universities in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, before the reforms following the 1852 Royal Commission.
About the Author:
Christopher Wordsworth (1807-85), the "Great Christopher" of Winchester and Trinity College, Cambridge, was a nephew of William the poet, and brother to Charles, the student who launched the University Boat Race. In 1832, Christopher took a gap-year, after his brilliant studies in ancient Greek and Latin classics, to travel back in time over two thousand years to Pericles' Athens. The account of his tour, Athens and Attica (1836), is still the perfect scholarly companion to the history, topography, and myths of an area compact in dimension yet vast in terms of its contribution to Western civilization.
