Cambridge and its Story

Cambridge and its Story by Charles Williams Stubbs, D.D., Dean of Ely [later Bishop of Truro; 1845 – 1912], with twenty-four lithographs and other illustrations by Herbert Railton, the lithographs being tinted by Fanny Railton. London: J. M. Dent & Sons Ltd., Aldine House, Covent Garden, 1912.

The tinted lithographs are really difficult to scan for some reason, even though I now have a professional-quality scanner with colour correction. If you would like more pictures from this book, which I believe to be in the public domain both in the US and in the UK, send me a picture of your ankles. But I had a lot of Oxford pictures and wanted to start to balance it!

And I know of the future judgment
How dreadful so’er it be
That to sit alone with my conscience
Would be judgment enough for me.

Alone with my conscience, C W Stubbs

There is also an entry in the Nuttall Encyclopædia for Charles William Stubbs.
