It was his good fortune to be admitted to Westminster School by Mr. Liddell in 1851. For four years he was under him there and rose to be a member of his Sixth Form. From 1858 to 1877 he was a resident student of Christ Church and as undergraduate Tutor and Censor was brought into very varied and often very intimate relations with the Dean. The friendship which he was thus privileged to enjoy extended over nearly half a century and was only ended by the Dean''s death.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
