Henry Mordaunt Clavering to John Benn

Gruesome details of the lancing of a carbuncle. Quotes Hor.C.3.14 - is reminded of a translation of Hor.C.3.6 by JB (he asks for a copy), and thus of Westminster. Pupil numbers not above 100 - an inquiry has been held by the visitors the Dean of Christ Church and the Master of Trinity. The HM Dr. Williamson has been dismissed, possibly for overly savage flogging (a boy was unable to sit down for a week). An OW could not be found to replace him, so a Charterhouse-bred man, Dr. Liddell, has been appointed. Westminster's decline partly due to the preference of the aristocracy and royalty for Eton, and partly to the number of much cheaper schools in London. The Corn Laws. The opening of Cremorne Gardens in Chelsea (a rival to Vauxhall) will attract the worst characters in town.

Clavering, Henry Mordaunt, 1766-1850
