Lectures on the Relation between Law and Public Opinion in England
One of the two ancient English universities, whose religious tests excluding non-Anglicans were only gradually and partially removed.
At Oxford no Nonconformist has access to the university pulpit;
At last in 1854—twenty-two years after the passing of the Reform Act—the demand for university reform, at any rate at Oxford, could no longer be resisted.
In 1832 a system of religious tests still closed the national universities—in the case of Oxford wholly, in the case of Cambridge all but wholly—to any person who was not an avowed member of the Church of England.
Commercial Crises of the Nineteenth Century
University whose Professors of Political Economy are criticised for venerating Jevons
and that the genius before whose shrine our Professors of Political Economy at Oxford and Cambridge still prostrate themselves had only added another to his long list of blunders.
