"'Home of lost causes'--this is Oxford's blame;
'Mother of movements'--this, too, boasteth she;
In the same walls, the same yet not the same,
She welcomes those who lead the age-to-be."

"Much have ye suffered from time's gnawing tooth,
Yet, O ye spires of Oxford domes and towers,
Gardens and groves, your presence overpowers
The soberness of reason."
WORDSWORTH.
[Plate 1. Christ Church : The Cathedral from the Garden]

THE CHARM OF OXFORD
PREFACE

There are many books on Oxford; the justification for this new one is

they will incite those who do not know Oxford to remedy that defect
in their lives.
