DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Memorials of Oxford, Vol. 1 One object has been, to compress within as small a space as possible the voluminous materials of former writers, and by bringing down the history to our own times to give the general reader a clearer insight into the ancient and present state of the university, city and suburbs: another very important object, it is hoped, has been realized by the completion of this work; namely, that of preserving and transmitting to posterity, by the employment of the unrivalled talents of British artists, accurate delineations of all the most prominent and attractive scenes presented to the view in this our Athens: thus rescuing from oblivion those monuments of public and private mu nificence, which the hand of Time, and still more the restless Spirit of Innovation, is continually sweep ing away from our populous towns and cities. The number and variety of the engravings, whilst they convey to strangers and to future ages a faithful representation of every perishable relic of human in genuity and labour, will also constitute the most last ing memorials of the artists themselves. In this point of view, the publishers trust that they have redeemed the pledge announced in the Prospectus; which was to combine picturesque illustrations of a superior order, suited to the present state of the arts, and the taste of the age, with authentic historical informa tion; and by the union of the two to form such a memorial OF oxford, as shall be worthy of its an cient renown, and acceptable to all those who feel an interest in the history of this celebrated university, or its magnificent buildings.'
