About this Item

First edition. 1 vols. 8vo. Edited by M.R. James and A. B. Ramsay. The Spectator, 20 Nov. 1926 "In Mr. Luxmoore, Eton has lost the figure which had become there for the time the best loved and revered. To a great age his clear-cut features continued to remind one of the best Italian medal- portraits. His generosity to the School was great in many directions. His knowledge and sense of art and architecture made him an arbiter of taste. But his most abiding mark will be on the characters of innumerable boys and, we venture to say, of masters too. He inspired high motives and principles by expecting them. No one with a mean thought in his heart could come before Mr. Luxmoore's eye and not feel ashamed." E.W. Stone was a master at Eton as was his father before him. Reynolds Stone (1909-1979) was born at Eton and educated there. With a loosely inserted autograph letter to "Ned" from Constance. Rogers 335 Blue cloth. Inscribed from Reynolds Stone to his father on front pastedown "E.W. Stone/ from his son Christmas 1929." Reynolds Stone bookplate of Stuart Schimmel.
