About This Item
Cambridge, England: The Pevensy Press, 1988. Third edition: revised, updated and reillustrated. Hardcover. VG- (Front cover of binding has faded in conjunction with the dj; otherwise clear.). Olive cloth, gilt letters on spine, yellow & color illus. dust jacket, illus. flyleaves, 192 pp., 100+ color illus., map. "The glories and treasures of Cambridge -- some famous, others much less well-known than they should be -- are so extraordinary that they need to be presented and assessed afresh for each successive generation. Indeed the ever-continuing creation of new colleges, buildings and institutions means that each generation, including very notably our own, has something novel to see and admire. It is the purpose of [this book] to show how the University and its various organisms have developed from their beginnings until now, and how people at Cambridge have lived and worked and been stimulated by what they saw around them." (dj).
