| dc.description.abstract | First published in serial from: Blackwell's magazine, 1880 First book edition: London : Chapman & Hall, 1881 From the introduction, p. xviii: The text of the present edition has been checked against the serial edition in Maga, and not the first book edition. It is not clear that the Chapman & Hall edition of January 1881 has any special authority, since no letters referring to Trollope's correcting proofs for it survive... Also from the introduction, p. xviii: A few obvious printing errors in Maga have been silently corrected. One or two minor typographic conventions have also been modernised. Trollope's original rendering of perdu as perdoo on page 167 has of course not been corrected as it has in other resettings this century... In slip-case General editor of series: David Skilton |

Dr. Wortle's School by Anthony Trollope DR WORTLE The Rev. Jeffrey Wortle, D.D., was a man much esteemed by others—and by himself. He combined two professions, in both of which he had been successful—had been, and continued to be, at the time in which we speak of him. I will introduce him to the reader in the present tense as Rector of Bowick, and proprietor and headmaster of the school established in the village of that name. The seminary at Bowick had for some time enjoyed a reputation under him—not that he had ever himself used so newfangled and unpalatable a word in speaking of his school. Bowick School had been established by himself as preparatory to Eton. Dr Wortle had been elected to an assistant-mastership at Eton early in life soon after he had become a Fellow of Exeter. There he had worked successfully for ten years, and had then retired to the living of Bowick. On going there he had determined to occupy his leisure, and if possible to make his fortune, by taking a few boys . . .
