The Diary and Memoirs of John Allen Giles
Postscript summary
During his life the ‘Rev Dr Giles’ (1808–1884) was a prolific author of student textbooks and translations of biblical, classical and historical texts. Unlike those dry works of scholarship, now mostly forgotten, his diary, memoirs and correspondence – a ‘very unimportant history compiled for the use of no one but my own family’ – offer an entertaining view of Victorian life in Somerset, London, Surrey and Middlesex and of Giles’ not altogether successful career as a headmaster. No jacket.
