Excerpt from A History of Ackworth School: During Its First Hundred Years Preceded by a Brief Account of the Fortunes of the House Whilst Occupied as a Foundling Hospital This work - written at the request of the Committee which was constituted for the purpose of promoting a suitable cele bration of the Centennial Anniversary of the Opening of the School, the portrayal of whose history has been attempted in its pages - has been prepared solely with the view of supplying to old scholars some account of an institution whose career is interesting to all, and dear to the affections of many of them. It may perhaps, also, prove of some minor interest to other members of the Society to which the School belongs; but to all beyond this larger circle its pages will be caviare. Writing for a special class, I have pre-supposed that almost every little historical incident that could be wrested from the grasp of a past, some of whose years are fast retiring into a dim distance.
