FOOTNOTES
[1] Three masters’ houses, for the reception of boys, have recently been opened outside the college walls.
[2] Since the above was written, I have been shown a little book, entitled “Ups and Downs of a Public School,” in which many of the incidents alluded to by me are very graphically described, especially “the play,” “the town and gown row,” and “the examination in election week.”
[3] This word being hitherto unwritten, I have endeavoured, unsuccessfully, to spell phonetically. It is derived from the French proteger, and the last syllable is pronounced as in that word. Its meaning is somewhat the same as that of the French word, but implies rather a greater amount of care and interest.
[4] The beds in Seventh were different from those described in Fourth, being made of iron, without any canopy, with deal boards at the side to keep the mattresses in their places.
[5] See “Ups and Downs of a Public School.”
[6] On Sundays the boys went to Cathedral, instead of Chapel, at half-past ten A.M.
