very little of the Oxford in the olden days content i crave, but rather a series of improving essays for a young university gentleman of the 1830s.

it's impressively short for a 170pp book, even more so when you notice how many multi-page quotes are included. there are a couple of amusingly Grampa Simpson-esque anecdotes in there.

he's **really** not a fan of Byron.

i certainly feel very improved by the experience.

This is a collection of letters from an uncle who had studied at Oxford to his nephew who is embarking on his education there. The letters contain solid advice that young men and women entering university and further studies today will find useful as well. I enjoyed reading it and found the advice timely and helpful even for those of us who have finished our tenure as students some time ago. Consider giving this to a family member headed off to college or reading yourself so that you can pass on advice to that person in personal letters of your own.
