Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Harrow School to non-H arrovians and to Harrovians who may care to have some notice of the School in a small compass. I ts author is under great obligations to the Book of Harrow School, issued two years ago under the auspices of Mr. Howson and Mr. Townsend Warner and to Mr. Thornton s Harrow School and its Surroundings ;and most generous help has been given by the Master of Trinity, Mr. B. P. Lascelles and the Rev. F. C. Searle. The account of the early School history contains some new matter, but the later history is largely secondhand. Much of the account of the School life is based upon personal experience, and may therefore claim, in a sense, to be trustworthy. I say in a sense because probably no two mens experiences of a great public school are exactly similar :the school is too large and many-sided for everyone to receive the same impression. Further, there are swift changes in few years, and although every effort has been made to keep what may be called the official intelligence accurate, it is probable that there are subtle differences of atmosphere in the school of to-day from the school of twelve years ago, such as my memory recalls it.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
