REMINISCENCES CHIEFLY OF ORIEL COLLEGE
AND THE OXFORD MOVEMENT.

By the REV. THOMAS MOZLEY, M.A.
formerly Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford.

We have rarely taken up two more fascinating volumes.'

ST. JAMES'S GAZETTE. 'No modern delineator of manners has sketched humours and eccentricities in high or low more brightly and humanely than Mr. MOZLEY.' The TIMES.

'Full of point, incident, apt characterisation, and humour. One of the great attractions of these volumes is the complete absence of any party bitterness.' BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEW.

'Not even the famous Apologia will compare with these two volumes of reminiscences in respect of minute fulness, close personal observation, and characteristic touches.'

ACADEMY.

'One of the most amusing and interesting works we have ever read, even in the province of autobiography.'

LITERARY CHURCHMAN.

'Mr. MoZLEY briefly sketches two lives, Cardinal NEWMAN'S and his own; and round them he groups nearly all the prominent men in the Oxford of his day. The two volumes are full of interest.' DAILY NEWS.

'Mr. MoZLEY'S reminiscences will not only be found of great value by future writers, but are so skilfully put together-with so much vivacity, variety, knowledge of human nature, and fine sense of humour-that they will be widely read.' NONCONFORMIST.

I COULD HAVE WISHED for a little more time to revise these volumes, to correct slips of memory or of the pen, and to profit by the comments of reviewers. But I do not really think there is much to be done in this way, even with the largest allowance of time. The printers have taken such good care of me, that I can only find a few trifling errors, for all of which I may say that I am solely responsible. But I gladly avail myself of the opportunity to introduce in this place a letter from an old Carthusian contemporary, eight years my junior, reconciling my account of the Bell System at that school with that quoted by the present head-master from the evidence given by the late Dean of Peterborough :

Gulval Vicarage, Penzance :
February 16, 1885.

Dear Sir, Pardon my troubling you with this letter, but

I have just been reading your Reminiscences of Charterhouse with much interest.
