Excerpt from Chips From a German Workshop, Vol. 3: Essays on Language and Literature Recollect with pleasure the bright years which I spent as Professor of Modern Languages and Literature at the Taylor Institution, and I shall always feel most deeply grateful to my many friends at Oxford - alas! Most of them gone before me-for the warm welcome they gave to a young unknown scholar, and for the hearty sympathy which they have never ceased to show me during the - long time of my professorial activity among them.
