Excerpt from The Life and Correspondence of Thomas Arnold, D.D, Vol. 1: Late Head-Master or Rugby School, and Regius Professor of Modern History in the University of Oxford The demand, after the lapse of nearly sixty years, for a new edition of Stanley's Life and Correspondence of Dr Arnold, in a compact and accessible form adapted for wide circulation, is a significant and encouraging fact in the history of public instruction in Great Britain. The book has long been regarded as a classic, and as the most solid and enduring contribution to educational literature produced in England in the nineteenth century. But it is even more than this for considered as a work of art as a skilful and vivid presentment of a human life, its endeavours and achievements, its successes and its dis appointments, the circumstances which shaped it, and the in¿uence it exerted - the work has taken its rank among the best biographies in the English language.
