Kingsley's kind regards, Eversley aug 12/61' to head of half title. The Rev. Charles Kingsley (1819-75), Anglican clergyman and historical novelist, was appointed the regius professor of modern history at Cambridge on the recommendation of the prince consort - and outlined his theory of history in this inaugural lecture.
