""Eton In 1829-1830: A Diary Of Boating And Other Events Written In Greek"" is a book written by Thomas Kynaston Selwyn and published in 1903. The book is a diary of Selwyn's experiences at Eton College during the years 1829 and 1830. What makes this diary unique is that Selwyn wrote it entirely in Greek, which was a common practice among students at Eton during that time. The diary details Selwyn's daily life at Eton, including his studies, social activities, and boating events on the Thames River. He also writes about his relationships with his fellow students and teachers, as well as his thoughts on current events and politics of the time. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a student at Eton College during the early 19th century and offers insights into the educational practices and social norms of the time. It is a valuable resource for historians and scholars interested in the history of education, social history, and the Greek language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
