PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. THIS work was one of the last that had the honour of diverting the care-worn and agonised mind of that much lamented Artist, Mr. B. R. HAYDON. Only two months before he died, he wrote to Messrs. Longman: - "I must possess a copy of the book you lent me, the Collegian's Guide.' It is a capital, sensible, entertaining, and true-to-nature work.” What is true to nature is true always. Things merely accidental and conventional pass out of date, but such matters never formed a material part of the work before us. A few alterations only appeared necessary to make the Guide still trustworthy, and those alterations, it is hoped, have been carefully effected in the present Edition. BATH: January 1, 1858. |
