For those wishing to know: Edward Thring was the headmaster of Uppingham 
School.  In 1875 a typhoid outbreak meant the school could not open - 
instead Thring moved the school to the small Welsh fishing village of 
Borth and for a year an historic English public school was by the sea. 
This book is Thring's poems inspired by the occasion.  The story is told 
by John Henry Skrine (one of the Uppingham teachers) in Gutenberg eBook 
18036 - Uppingham by the Sea).

All the best,
