Description
Excerpt from Schola Regía Cantuaríensís: A History of Canterbury School, Commonly Called the King''s School
City of Canterbury has been very generally recognized, and many books have been written illustrative of the eccle siastical and civil history of the mother city of England. Very little, however, has yet appeared dealing exclusively with one of its most ancient and interesting institutions, the School, known in mediaeval times as the School of the Arch bishop and of the City, and, since its reconstitution by King Henry VIII., as the King''s School of Canterbury. Of this School - the premier in England (as we believe) in point of antiquity - the only book which has hitherto been published is a little monograph from the pen of the late Rev. J. S. Sidebotham, entitled M emor''ials of the King''s School. Mr. Side botham''s work contains many excellent biographical notices of the School''s more famous scholars, but makes no attempt to trace the varying fortunes of the School itself during the many centuries of its existence. Moreover, forty-three years have now elapsed since the Memorials were published, and in the interval not only have fresh sources of information been opened to the School historian, but the growth and development which the School has undergone during the last generation have given encouragement to further efforts to deal more adequately with its records.
