Excerpt from Sermons: Chiefly on the Interpretation of Scripture Having been mostly preached in the chapel at Rugby, these Sermons must necessarily be of a practical character; but it will be found that they all hear more or less upon Interpretation - with the exception of three or four, which seemed to demand insertion from their peculiar subjects.

Excerpt from Pope: Selected Poems; The Essay on Criticism; The Moral Essays; Edited, With Introduction, Notes, and Appendix Of the principal works of Pope (excluding translations), the Essay on Man has been edited in a masterly way for the use of schools by Mr. Pattison, the Rector of Lincoln College; the Satires and Epistles also, with their Prologue and Epilogue, have been treated, not quite so exhaustively, by the same hand. The Rape of the Lock is included among the Longer English Poems so usefully and carefully edited by Mr. Hales. Among the remaining works, the Essay on Criticism and the Moral Essays are contained in the present volume; the Dunciad will shortly appear in a similar form. Nothing remains but the imitations of the second rank, with the Pastorals Windsor Forest the Messiah the Temple of Fame and the short occasional poems, which has not been edited for school use.

Thomas Arnold was born on June 13, 1795 in West Cowes, Isle of Wight, England, United Kingdom. He was the seventh child of William and Martha Arnold. His father was the postmaster and customs agent for the Isle of Wight.
Thomas Arnold received his early education from his mother and an aunt. He attended the preparatory schools Warminster and Winchester from 1803 to 1811, prior to his admittance to Corpus Christi College of Oxford University. He graduated first class in classics in 1814.
Through the influence of a friend, Thomas Arnold became a fellow of Oriel College, Oxford University, in 1814 - a position he held until 1819. While there, he was ordained a deacon in the Church of England in 1818. He taught in several preparatory schools until 1827, when he became headmaster of Rugby School. He retained this post until his sudden death on June 12, 1842.
Arnold also held a position in the senate of the University of London during 1836-1838 and was appointed a lecturer in history at Oxford in 1841. Arnold was very much interested in Church reform.
He assumed the duties of the chaplain when the post became vacant, and he was noted for his sermons to the student body, later published.
During the height of Parliament's debate over the reform bills of the early 18306, Arnold published the Englishman's Register, a weekly journal supporting reform; it lasted only 3 months. It is as headmaster of Rugby that Arnold is primarily remembered, however. The whole tone of the school was improved during his tenure.
He is credited with broadening its curriculum, improving living conditions, raising the status of the masters, and inaugurating administrative reforms (for example, masters' conferences and student involvement in school affairs). What was once regarded as one of England's worst schools was, by the time of his death, famous for its successful graduates.

(FACSIMILE REPRODUCTION: 1852Arnold's travelling journals ...)
Thomas Arnold was an early supporter of the Broad Church Anglican movement. A radical in terms of religious thought of the day, he sought a simplified base on which to build a reunited Christian Church. He entered into a well-publicized dialogue with John Henry (later Cardinal) Newman over the nature of the Christian Church and what it ought to be. Arnold's religious ideas influenced the way in which he approached his job as headmaster of Rugby.
Thomas Arnold emphasized the "Christian scholar" and "good character. " Social reform also interested Arnold. Although he maintained that the class structure of England was essentially natural and unchangeable, he actively sought to improve the lot of the lower and emerging middle classes. His convictions regarding the aristocracy centered on its responsibility and duty to do what was "right. " In short, he wanted a useful aristocracy and a polished middle class.
In 1820 Thomas Arnold married Mary Penrose. They had five daughters and five sons, including the poet Matthew Arnold, the literary scholar Tom, the author William Delafield Arnold and Edward Penrose Arnold, the inspector of schools. One daughter died in infancy. The eldest daughter Jane Martha married William Edward Forster, and when William Delafield Arnold died in 1859, leaving four orphans, the Forsters adopted them as their own, adding their name to the children's surname. One of these children was Hugh Oakeley Arnold-Forster, a Liberal Unionist MP, who eventually became a member of Balfour's cabinet. Another of the children was Florence Vere O'Brien, a diarist, philanthropist, and craftswoman who lived in Ireland. Frances Bunsen Trevenen Whateley Arnold, the youngest daughter, never married and died at Fox How in 1923.
