Seite 271 - 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...
Seite 350 - 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.
Seite 273 - ... 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...
Seite 268 - There is scarce a spot in the world", says Huber, " that bears an historical stamp so deep and varied as Oxford; where so many noble memorials of moral and material power, cooperating to an honourable end, meet the eye all at once. He who can be proof against the strong emotions which the whole aspect and genius of the place tend to inspire, must be dull, thoughtless, uneducated, or of very perverted views. Others will bear us witness, that, even side by side with the Eternal Rome, the Alma Mater...
Seite 338 - ... received without contradiction in all the Christian communities of the three several quarters of the globe ? We might as well attempt to prove that the history of the reformation is the invention of historians, and that no revolution happened in Great Britain during the seventeenth century, or. in France during the eighteenth century, and the first fifteen years of the nineteenth...
Seite 272 - ... 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...
Seite 273 - Every where indeed wealth and rank are sure to meet with outward -signs of respect ; — no w:here 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.
Seite 274 - 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.
Seite 268 - Oxford and Her Colleges, by Goldwin Smith. Macmillan, 1894. IN truth there is scarcely a spot in the world which bears an General historical stamp so deep and varied as Oxford : — where so many noble memorials of moral and material power co-operating to an honorable end, meet the eye all at once. He who can be proof against the strong emotions which the whole aspect and genius of the place tend to inspire, must be dull, thoughtless, uneducated, or of very perverted views and understanding.
