Gradus ad Cantabrigiam : Or, New University Guide to the Academical Customs, and Colloquial or Cant Terms Peculiar to the University of Cambridge, Observing Wherein It Differs from Oxford

Omtale

This anonymous and light-hearted work was first published in 1803: reissued here is the edition of 1824, of which the authors describe themselves as 'a Brace of Cantabs'. Abounding in puns and humorous anecdotes, this fascinating book demonstrates that the publication of spoof 'guides to freshmen' is nothing new.
