THIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY by the Rector of Exeter College, Oxford, tells of two loyalties, not conflicting, but very happily combined. Without severing any of his ties with his native Jersey, he set forth to explore the adjacent island of Great Britain, and found the University of his choice ready to give him of her best. After seven years of Jowett's Balliol, he has served for a further half century as an Exeter " don," reverting in Vacation to his aboriginal type. Philosophy, Anthropology, Prehistorics, Travel, Sport, and innumerable friendships, have kept Dr. Marett in full vigour, and ready to maintain that life is good. (Book ref. 129527)  £23.00
