Sketches Of Cantabs (1858)

By John Smith and John Smith

Book Overview

Sketches of Cantabs is a book written by John Smith and published in 1858. The book is a collection of humorous sketches that satirize the life and culture of Cambridge University, where the author was a student. The sketches cover a range of topics, including academic life, social events, and the eccentricities of the university's professors and students. The book is written in a lighthearted tone and is intended to entertain rather than provide serious commentary on the university. Overall, Sketches of Cantabs provides a window into the world of Cambridge University in the mid-19th century, and is a valuable historical document for those interested in the history of higher education in England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
