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 two-volume 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 2 contains an
analysis of study at Cambridge and compares this with study at
American universities, including a description of the supposed
shortcomings and advantages of American higher education and its
contrasts with the English system. This volume provides valuable
insights into the differences between English and American higher
education in the nineteenth century. Examination papers for
mathematics and classics from the 1840s are included in an
appendix.
