"Rootless, godless, ignorant and lost," the adjectives used by an eminent scholar to describe the rising generation of our times, could never be applied to the generation that grew into manhood at the time of the Great Exhibition of 1851.

Includes two biographical studies, one of an idealist Victorian headmaster and one representing the exemplar of the ideal, a Winchester schoolboy. Blue cloth boards, gilt title to spine.
