Book synopsis

This book contains the third volume of John Henry Newman's 1891 treatise on the rise and progress of universities in ancient civilisations. This fascinating book contains a wealth of historical information concerning the development and importance of numerous prodigious universities from various parts of the world, and is highly recommended for those with an interest in the topic. Contents include: "What is a University", "Site of a University", "University Life: Athens", "Free Trade in Knowledge: The Sophists", "Discipline and Influence", "Athenian Schools: Influence", "Macedonian and Roman Schools: Discipline", "Downfall and Refuge of Ancient Civilization: The Lombards", etcetera. John Henry Newman (1801 - 1890) was an influential figure in the religious history of nineteenth-century England. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
