PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION.

THIS Second Edition of Recollections of Oxford' has resulted, first, from the frequent hints of friends that the rapid sale of the first edition, and the generally favourable Notices of it, would justify a re-appearance; and, secondly, from a conscientious desire to correct numerous errors and qualify some mis-statements. For the due discharge of this task (I might almost call it a duty) I have been ably assisted by voluntary and even anonymous suggestions, many of them valuable, and most of them thankfully adopted. This help, however, has not prevented the careful exercise of my own labour, both in correcting errata and the insertion of new matter of illustration.

[ocr errors]

As to the criticisms of periodicals and newspapers, what was favourable I, of course, have read with pleasure: of anything of a contrary character, I can assert that it has no place in my Recollections.' I will only say, by way of justification, and in reply to some of my Northern critics, that I never pretended to write as a philosopher, nor even as an historian. To the kind consideration of my future readers I commend this improved edition, adding my special thanks to Messrs. Ellacombe, Rouse, E. Walford, Rigaud, Macray, and though last, not least, Dr. Bloxam, for many valuable hints and corrections.

OXFORD,
December 9, 1869.
