Charles Astor Bristed (1820-1874) was an American scholar and
author, and the first American writer to defend American English
spelling. Having graduated from Trinity College in 1845 he
published this account of his experiences at the university in 1852
to provide accurate, first-hand information for Americans about
study in an English university, with the intention of starting a
debate over the inclusion of aspects of English higher education in
the American system. Volume 1 contains his recollections of his
time in Cambridge as an undergraduate, with detailed descriptions
of daily life, examinations, lectures and activities outside
academia. Written for those with no experience of the university,
this volume provides a valuable insight into the daily life of a
student at Cambridge in the middle of the nineteenth century while
also providing explanations for the aspects of the institution
which to the outsider might seem strange.
