Excerpt from Augustus Austen Leigh: Provost of King's College, Cambridge, A Record of College ReformHis position, however, enabled him to do a very important work in the transformation of King's from a small and close College into one of the most important educational forces in the University of Cambridge, a work in which he was a principal and for the first few years almost the sole - agent. It is thought, therefore, that the members of his College will feel an interest in reading an account (however imperfect) of this transformation, put in the personal shape of a Memoir of the Tutor and Provost whom they loved so well, and for them, and for his relations and friends, it is principally intended. It was necessary, however, in order to reach them all, that it should be published, and there are no doubt oth ers, within or without the limits of his University, who will be glad to have a record of what was, in'i, its] sphere, a noble and complete life.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
