A HISTORY OF RUGBY SCHOOL. By 



W. H. D. Rouse, M.A., sometime Fellow of Christ's 

 College, Cambridge. Pott 4to, xvi + 420 pages. With 

 30 Illustrations. 5s net. 



Times. — " Mr Rouse has done his work well." 



Daily Mail.—" An excellent history." 



Literature. — " A work of real value and distinction, which all who are interested 

 in the history and traditions of a great foundation will read with pleasure and 

 gratitude." 



Pall Mall Gazette. — " Mr Rouse's venture has, to our minds, proved entirely suc- 

 cessful ; he has conscientiously been through all the authorities and documents con- 

 nected with his subject ; he has shown excellent judgment in the arrangement of his 

 matter and in the manner of his criticism when he has chosen to praise or blame ; and 

 withal, he is master of an easy, picturesque, and varied, though sometimes quaintly 

 archaic, style. No side of school life — and what life more complex ? — is passed over by 

 Mr Rouse." 



St James's Gazette. — " Messrs Duckworth & Co. are to be congratulated upon the 

 excellent start which they have given to their ' English Public Schools ' series. The 

 volume upon Rugby, which lies before us, is very nearly a model of what such a work 

 should be. . . . This is about the best text-book which has hitherto been devoted to 

 the claims of a great public school." 



Illustrated London News.— "A book that no Rugbeian's library- should be 

 without." 



Outlook. — " Mr Rouse has done his work thoroughly and affectionately. All 

 Rugbeians, old and young, should secure this volume, which, by the way, is really 

 illustrated." 



Westminster Gazette. — " Mr Rouse goes fully into the early as well as the later 

 history of the famous school, and he seems to have spared no labour to make his 

 volume as complete as possible " 



World. — " All who are interested In Rugby, or, indeed, in the history of English 

 educational institutions generally, have reason to be grateful to Mr Rouse for the pains- 

 taking research which he has expended. A better or worthier historj' of a great public 

 school than is supplied by this volume — which, by the way, is amply illustrated — it 

 would be impossible for the most exacting of ' old boys' to desire." 



Weekly Sun. — " Will perhaps stand as a classic among school chronicles." 



Graphic. — " An exceedingly well written and carefully compiled book. We heartily 

 recommend the book, not only to Rugbeians, but to all who are interested in schools 

 and school life." 



Educational Times. — " Very well written and produced, and admirably illustrated. 



The volume sets an excellent model for the series which it inaugurates."
