Side 133 - Colleges, the University buildings, and the city churches ; and by the side of these the city itself is lost on distant view. But on entering the streets, we find around us all the signs of an active and prosperous trade. Rich and elegant shops in profusion afford a sight to be found nowhere but in England...
Side 133 - Gothic church-towers and Romaic domes, it is true, break through the horizontal lines ; yet the general impression at a distance and at first sight, is essentially different from that of any of the towns of the middle ages. The outlines are far from being so sharp, so angular, so irregular, so fantastical ; a certain softness, a peculiar repose, reigns in those broader, terrace-like rising masses. Only in the creations of Claude Lorraine or Poussin could we expect to find a spot to compare with the...
Side 170 - With all his defects, foibles, and faults, the Old English Gentleman was one of the most striking and admirable forms of civilized national education in any period of time, or in any nation ; and it was, in fact, this race which ruled and represented England in the last period. To them she principally owes her power, her glory, and her importance ; and they were essentially the production of the University education, University studies, and University life of that period.
Side 133 - ... memorials which have been growing out of that life from almost the beginning of Christianity itself. Those rich and elegant shops are, as it were, the domestic offices of these palaces of learning, which ever rivet the eye of the observer, while all besides seems perforce to be subservient to them. Each of the larger and more ancient Colleges looks like a separate whole — an entire town, whose walls and monuments proclaim the vigorous growth of many centuries; and the town itself has happily...
Side 133 - ... creation. The population, moreover, has a tranquil character, making it seem to be far less dense than in other flourishing English towns ; and, in fact, the noisy, whirling streams of human creatures that hurry along the streets of London, Manchester, Liverpool, and Birmingham, would be ill-adapted to the architectural and historical character of the place. Yet there is nothing herein to suggest the idea of poverty or decay. What strikes the eye as most peculiar, is the contrast between the...
Side 133 - Every where indeed wealth and rank are sure to meet with outward signs of respect ; — no where more surely than in England, and from tradespeople of the middle classes. But perhaps in all the world it might be hard to find so many forms, evidently the stately representatives of the genius of the place,* as are the Fellows and Masters of the Colleges at an English University.
Side 133 - Each of the larger and more ancient colleges looks like a separate whole ; an entire town, whose walls and monuments proclaim the vigorous growth of many centuries : in fact, every college is in itself a sort of chronicle of the history of art in England, and more especially of architecture.'"— Vol.
Side 203 - ... the only injustice which can possibly be committed by king and parliament, for do what they will it is legal. Before such interference can be justifiable, a proof must be brought, most convincing to all unprejudiced persons of the time, well acquainted with the facts, of that which has hitherto never been proved at all, namely, that the results to be obtained by such a measure are, exclusively and unconditionally, required by the...
Side 133 - ... who may plainly enough be seen to be the ruling spirit of the place. Everywhere, indeed, wealth and rank are sure to meet with outward signs of respect ; nowhere more surely than in England, and from tradespeople of the middle classes : but, perhaps, in all the world it might be difficult to find so many forms, evidently the stately representatives of the genius of the place, as are the Fellows and Masters of the colleges of an English University. It is a peculiar type, propagated from generation...
Side 79 - This Assembly [the Convocation] consisted originally of the real Teachers and Heads of the Houses ; but all its functions were soon imparted with the Master's degree to a great number of persons who had no connection with the academic teaching or discipline."— Huber and Newman, Vol. II., page 143. "All the powers and franchises of the University are lodged in Convocation, that is, the Masters of Arts and Doctors,
