Oxford Walks and the Bells of Christ Church College
An American traveller expresses awe at Oxford after a long journey by rail from Maidenhead. He describes Wantage, the extensive University, 26 colleges, 16 churches, and landmarks like Big Tom bell weighing 17,000 pounds. He notes Addison's Walk, Cranmer Ridley Latimer monument, and the endless chimes. He laments moral concerns and rails at riot scenes between citizens and students, and closes with thoughts on Ireland famine and Indian corn prices.
