The Register Of Blundell'S School (Part I The Register 1770-1882, (Paperback)

A ledger of lives and learning from 1770 to 1882. Essential resource for family historians. Arthur Fisher's The Register of Blundell's School (Part I) assembles names, dates and brief entry notes for generations of pupils, a rare British school register that also functions as an alumni directory collection and a set of school archival documents. As a body of historical school records it spans 18th century education into the age of Victorian era schools, preserving student enrollment history that serves both as a genealogy research resource and as an academic historians reference. Researchers will find in its concise entries the basic facts that underpin local studies, biographical enquiries and the reconstruction of nineteenth-century schooling and social networks. The register's straightforward listings make cross-referencing with parish registers, military rolls and university matriculations easier, while its continuity of coverage offers a measure of institutional longevity and change rarely available outside university archives. Blundell's school history is preserved here with straightforward reliability, making the volume useful to casual readers tracing family lines, to classic literature collectors building period shelves, and to local scholars - from Lancashire local history projects to county and national surveys of educational institutions in England. Antiquarian librarians and school archivists will appreciate its usefulness as a reference tool, while genealogists and social historians will value the backbone of names and dates that illuminate otherwise fragmentary lives. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Compact, authoritative and quietly eloquent, the register is both a practical reference and a cultural treasure: a primary document for anyone investigating the footprint of schooling in Britain and the lived experience behind official records, in parish and civic life.
