Uppingham School Roll, 1824-1913. (E. Stanford. 811. 6d. net)—Uppingham School

was founded by Archdeacon Johnson in 1584. The first Head-Master was David Blacke, appointed in 1587, with Robert Fullerton for his usher. The high modern reputation of Uppingham was, of course, earned by Edward Thring, who was Head-Master from 1853 to 1887. The School Roll now issued contains a complete list of all pupils who entered the school from August, 1824, to the end of the summer term, 1913, with brief notes of their after careers where information was available.
