Excerpt from Oxford Mountaineering Essays Oxford, they tell us, is the home of movements, Cambridge the home of men. Certainly the miniature movement that took shape in this little book was inspired by a Cambridge man. It was at an Oxford tea-party, where the talk had been unashamedly of mountains and their metaphysic, that Mr. G. Winthrop Young gave the first impulse to the scheme that ultimately produced this collection of essays. To Mr. Young the editor and contributors have been indebted for constant help and advice. He has heartened the despondent, and has inked cold daylight into more than one 'sunset' passage. At Oxford there are a number of Alpine clubs. The oldest and most sedate meets once a year in New College Hall. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
