ST. PAUL'S SCHOOL AND THE

'DICTIONARY OF NATIONAL

BIOGRAPHY.'

THE ' DICTIONARY OF NATIONAL BIO- GRAPHY ' contains the names of more than two hundred men who obtained their educa- tion at St. Paul's School, but of this number some 25 per cent are not given the credit of being Old Paulines. In some cases their identification as pupils of St. Paul's was subsequent to the publication of the volume of the ' D.N.B.' in which their career is recorded, but in the majority of instances the omission of any mention of the school at -which they were educated from the account of their careers can only be attributed to the incomplete researches of their biographers.
