Excerpt from Advice to a Young Man Upon First Going to Oxford: In Ten Letters, From an Uncle to His Nephew

I have long thought that a book was wanted, of the nature of that which I have here attempted. How far I have succeeded in the attempt, the public will determine.

I have had, - have at present, and (ifi live,) expect to have here after, - several nephews at Oxford; all having to make their own way in the world, and all? Consequently, having abundant reason for being economical, both of their time and of their money, during their residence at the University. These Letters were not addressed to any one of them in particular, but are intended, like some official documents, for all whom they may concern. Perhaps I had more especially in view, those of them who are destined for my own profession.
