There is something very peculiar in the first appearance of a walled city that has no suburbs or extramural adjuncts.
"The Bertrams"
Anthony Trollope
With one or two other young friends of a like mind, he was accustomed to spend the dinner-hour in what might be called extramural studies-rowing over to the island below the bridge against the tide and coming back gloriously with the current; assisting the salmon-fishers to draw their nets and gather the silver spoil; in the happy snow-time raiding the playground of a rival school when the boys were away, and leaving insulting remarks wrought in snow; or attending the drill of the cavalry on the South Meadow.

Ian Maclaren

"A Mortal Antipathy"
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
