Présentation de l'éditeur
Through the instrumentality of his uncle, Mr. A ntrobus, who was one of the college tutors, Thomas Gray was educated at Eton, where he became the friend of Horace Walpole, and of Richard West, the son of the Lord Chancellor of I reland. In the year 1736, Gray entered at Peter House, Cambridge ;and at the same time Horace Walpole went to King s College. Neither appears to have spent much time at his college studies, and in 1738 Gray left Peter House without a degree. In the spring of 1739 he set out with Walpole on a tour through France and I taly. They were absent about two years and a half, when the friends disagreed, and Gray returned to England, just in time to witness his fathers death. Soon after, his mother went to live at Stoke, near Windsor, and he returned to Cambridge, where he continued to reside, except during a few intervals, all the rest of his life.
