Fine study ... despite Dr Tyerman's strong Harrovian connections, he has written a genuinely detached account of his old school which corrects previous pious assumptions and judgements ... This sympathetic and scholarly study is more than just an institutional biography of a famous school ... The governors' trust in their appointed historian has been amply rewarded. English Historical Review Merits a readership well beyond Old Harrovian circles. History Well-written and extensively researched ... a book of far greater importance than its title suggests ... A pleasure to read HISTORY Monumental ... a scrupulous work, engagingly written. Charles Sprawson, Spectator The value of this distinguished and scholarly work is enhanced by exceptionally full footnotes and an excellent bibliography. J.H.C. Leach, Times Literary Supplement
