Thanks to Paul Horowitz's PrawfsBlawg: “O young academic politician, know thyself!”, I now have a link to an online copy of the Microcosmographia Academica.
I was introduced to this wonder by a young man in a hurry when I was student in Cambridge. He's done very well for himself, I might add.
First published in 1908, one hundred years later the Microcosmographia Academica reamains one of the truest and saddest things ever written about academic politics.
