IN his last year at Oxford, Morris established, assuming the entire financial responsibility, the 'oxford and Cambridge Magazine, ' written almost entirely by himself and his college friends, but also numbering Rossetti among its contributors. Like most college ventures, its career was short, ending with its twelfth issue in December, 1856. In this magazine Morris first found his strength as a writer, and though his subsequent literary achievements made him indifferent to this earlier work, its virility and wealth Of romantic imagination justify its rescue from Oblivion.

The article on Amiens, intended originally as the first of a series, is included in this volume as an illustration of Morris's power to Clothe things actual with the glamour of Romance.
