Endowments and school life at Christ's Hospital examined
A review discusses Christ's Hospital endowments of 70,000 yearly and their use for educating middle-class children, with critique of shifting aims for broader London schooling. It quotes anecdotes of bullying, including Prior and Smith, and recalls a somnambulist prank. The piece notes Blanch's illustrated guide and several contemporary titles with mixed reception.
