Most old towns are like palimpsests, parchments which have been scrawled over
again and again by their successive owners. Oxford, though not one of the most
ancient of English cities, shows, more legibly than the rest, the handwriting,
as it were, of many generations. The convenient site among the interlacing
waters of the Isis and the Cherwell has commended itself to men in one age
after another. Each generation has used it for its own purpose: for war, for
trade, for learning, for religion; and war, trade, religion, and learning have
left on Oxford their peculiar marks.
