In the Victorian period English universities were transformed beyond recognition, and the modern academic profession began to take shape. Mark Pattison was one of the foremost Oxford dons in this crucial period, and articulated a distinctive vision of the academic's vocation frequently at odds with those of his contemporaries. In the first serious study of Pattison as a thinker, Stuart Jones shows his importance in the cultural and intellectual life of the time: as a proponent of the German idea of the university, as a follower of Newman who became an agnostic and a thoroughly secular intellectual, and as a pioneer in the study of the history of ideas. Pattison is now remembered (misleadingly) as the supposed prototype for Mr Casaubon in George Eliot's Middlemarch, but this book retrieves his status as one of the most original and self-conscious of Victorian intellectuals.

Originally published in 1947, this volume provides a dual-text English translation of the Anonymus Londinensis papyrus, an important document of Ancient Greek medical and philosophical ideas from the second century AD. The text also contains a generous introduction, additional notes, together with essays on the nature of Greek thought and medicine. This is a highly informative book that will be of value to anyone with an interest in Classical ideas on health and physiology.

Originally published in 1915 as part of a series of handbooks for teachers, this book addresses the teaching of classics, particularly Latin and ancient Greek, in a schooling system which has grown to see the subject as largely irrelevant. Jones argues that studying ancient languages is best done through the 'direct method' of instruction, with an emphasis on composition in the original languages and study of the classical cultures. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of education, classical education in particular.

Originally published in 1924, this book presents the history of the Hippocratic oath from its earliest formulations through its interpretation and representation by later religious and medical traditions.

This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of medicine and medical ethics.
