Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The University and City of Oxford: Displayed in a Series of Seventy-Two Views
Such a discursive way of treating the subject may accommodate men of business, who cannot spare much time to read and men of pleasure (lovers of light reading), who will not. And while it may make some readers think, it may save others the labour and cost of thinking.
Our object, however, is not to pronounce judgments, but to induce men to think who are willing to do so, and to judge for themselves. The question now at issue between the Universities and their opponents is here set in view; and the latest speculations on the subject of our National Establishments in Church and State, together with our National Education, are observed u pon: adverting to another topic not unconnected with the former, and also of itself a matter of general interest, - our National Architecture, which makes so prominent a feature in the portraiture of Oxford.
