Five plates from From Ackermann's 'History of the Free-School of Harrow.' in 'History of the Public Schools, &c.' The Appendix states 'The first plate, or general view of the Church, School, and part of the Village, the scene is drawn from a spot contiguous to the cricket-grounds of the Scholars, about a quarter of a mile to the S.W. of those buildings. These new play-grounds, which contain several acres, were inclosed about ten years since, for these purposes, from a tract of land formerly caled Roxeth Green. In the view of the itnerior of Harrow Church, the galleries in which the higher classes of the school sit, are not represented; they are behind the spot from whence the artist has delineated the building. The small galleries represented here, are occupied by the lower classes. The exterior view of the School is from the S.E.'
