Creasy’s Memoirs of Eminent Etonians;
with Notices of the Early History of Eton College. By Sir Edward Creasy, Author of “The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World.” A New Edition, brought down to the Present Time, with 13 Illustrations.
“A new edition of ‘Creasy’s Etonians’ will be welcome. The book was a favourite a quarter of a century ago, and it has maintained its reputation. The value of this new edition is enhanced by the fact that Sir Edward Creasy has added to it several memoirs of Etonians who have died since the first edition appeared. The work is eminently interesting.”—Scotsman.
