THE CLARENDON BUILDING, BROAD STREET
It is the Roman Doric portico of the “Building” we see rising in thecentre of the picture, surmounted by a huge leaden figure, forming oneof the acroteria of the pediment.
This noble piece of architecture was erected from the proceeds of thesale of copies of Lord Clarendon’s History of the Rebellion, completedin 1713.
Looking west, on the right are some old houses, beyond which lie Trinityand Balliol Colleges.[Pg 7]

Prefatory Note
Most of these chapters have been filled by a brief search into myrecollections of Oxford. They aim, therefore, at recording my ownimpressions as faithfully as the resultant stir of fancy would allow.But I am also deeply and obviously indebted to several books, and inparticular to the histories of Oxford by Parker, Maxwell Lyte, andBoase; to Mr. F. E. Robinson’s series of College Histories; toReminiscences of Oxford and its companion volumes from the ClarendonPress; and, above all the rest, to Anthony à Wood, and to the Rev.Andrew Clark’s perfect editions of that writer’s Life and Times, andof John Aubrey’s Brief Lives. The Editors of The Daily Chronicle,The Illustrated London News, and Crampton’s Magazine have kindlygiven me permission to reprint a few pages from my contributionsthe
