Book synopsis

Excerpt from The Eton Abuses Considered: In a Letter Addressed to the Author of Some Remarks on the Present Studies and Management of Eton School Sir, Your 'Remarks on the present studies and management of Eton School' have induced me to refer to some notes, which I made a few years back on the same subject, but which circumstances have hitherto prevented me from bringing before the public. In remodelling these, and in adding others, I trust that you will at once understand, that I have no intention whatever, in a general sense, either of replying to your arguments, or detracting from your merits. I am merely desirous of adding fresh weight to those facts, which have been as gratefully received by all who are open to conviction, as they probably are unacceptable to the few, who are either prejudiced by interest, or wilfully deaf to reason. Throughout your 'Remarks' there is but one question on which I would materially differ from you, and on that subject I will at once enter: I allude to the Newcastle Scholarships. You appear to be as much dissatisfied with the fruits which they have produced, as with the manner in which the candidates are prepared and the examinations conducted.
