Excerpt from Rugby There is nothing new in this small book except what has happened since 1900. The present compiler most warmly thanks Dr. W. H. D. Rouse and Mr. H. C. Bradby for their freely-granted permis sion to make use of their excellent books on Rugby School (a History of Rugby School, by W. H. D. Rouse, Duckworth and Co., 1898; and Rugby, by H. C. Bradby, George Bell and Sons, Dr. Rouse has fully investigated all available records, and most of the history here contained is a bare summary of his work. In so small a compass it has been frequently necessary to condense, even to the point of obscurity. For this and many other failings the compiler wishes to apologise to any possible reader. He is glad to feel that the booklet has at least interested one reader - him self, who has found plagiarism more entertaining than one would imagine. Any accuracy it may have is due to the revising care of his friend, G. A. F. M. Chatwin, whose Rugbeian lore much exceeds the writer's, and has been most freely lavished on the purging of errors from these pages. Those that remain are solely the writer's fault.
