matters, for he says, p. 5, History of Bene't College, the Master and two Fellows were admitted of Corpus Christi College Gild in 1550; whereas, by what he afterwards says, he could not be then Master; they were not created till after 1552; he should have said, afterwards the first Master. P. 123, l. 14, for 1411, 1487.

Ibid. Parker, according to Richardson's Catalogue Grad. proceeded A. M. 1527. His D. D. does not appear.

P. 124, 1. 22. I speak under shelter of Mr. Masters; otherwise there were Browns, according to Richardson's Catalogue, though without Christian names, who took degrees about this time; and one (Robert) of this College, was A. B. 1572.

P. 125. Greenham should be Greenwood (John), was A. B. 1572. While in confinement, certain conferences and letters between two prisoners (Barrow and Greenwood) were printed in 1590. Greenwood wrote against Gifford's Short Treatise against the Donatists of England: it was republished in 1605. These two, says Mr. Masters, History of Bene't College, p. 229, were executed at Tyburn, April 6, 1593, after having been exposed to all the severities of hunger, cold, and nakedness, in a close prison for the space of six

years.

P. 125. Barrow (Henry), A. B. 1569, has not his College marked in Richardson's Catalogue.

Ibid. Carryer proceeded D. D. 1602.

Wo

P. 125. Langhorne (Daniel), was S. T. B. 1664. moch (according to Richardson's Catalogue) was A. M. 1601.

P. 126. No such name as Dumoulin in Richardson's Catalogue.

P. 126, 1. 9, add Robert Parker, A. M. 1685, Fellow, was a writer of great name among the Puritans. The most famous of his works was A Scholastic Discourse against Symbolizing with Anti-Christ in Ceremonies, folio, 1607, and de descensu Dom. nostri Jesu Christi ad inferos

lib. iv. 4to. Amsterdam, 1611, and other pieces. Master's History of Bene't College, 532. In his first work, Mr. Parker discusses much at large that great point of dispute, the Use of the Cross in Baptism."

P. 127. I. 3, add, John Spenser, already mentioned, (Vol. I. p. 182,) wrote de Legibus Hebræorum Ritualibus, and Dissertatio de Urim et Thummim. He was a Kentish man, and admitted Master, August 3, 1667. He also published a curious work, called a Discourse on Prodigies, accompanied with another on Vulgar Prophecies, republished while Fellow in 1665.

Peter Dumoulin, son of the famous French Protestant, was probably first of Paris, and afterwards of Leyden, where he was D. D. It has been said by Wood, that he was incorporated at Cambridge. His name not in Richardson's Catalogue Grad. Carter gives him to this College; and R. Smyth says, and unsays, and says again, that he was of this College; but as Mr. Masters passes him by, I take it for granted, his name was never cntered here.

P. 129, 1. 4. Thomas Green, Master, Bishop of Norwich, and translated to Ely, 1723, published several Sermons and Tracts; one of the principal of which (though unnoticed by Mr. Masters) was, Two Letters on the Principles of the Methodists, addressed to Mr. Whitfield and Mr. Berridge: one proceeds on the principles of Mr. Locke's Chapter on Enthusiasm; the other on Dr. Taylor's notion of a twofold Justification, in opposition to Justification by Faith alone. The Bishop intended to have continued these Letters; but as Mr. Berridge did not publish his Sermon, preached at St. Mary's Church, Cambridge, the Bishop dropped his design of pursuing the subject further.

P. 131, 1. 13, after thing, add with his name. That account, short, but well-written, and with much discrimination, of Mr. Gray, at the end of Mason's Memoirs of Gray, was, as I am informed by Mr. Matthias, mentioned before as

editor of Gray's Works, written by Mr. Tyson, though his name is not there mentioned.

To our bishops and nobles might be added, Thomas Tenison, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1694, Founder of St. Martin's Library, Westminster, of which parish he had been Vicar. Samuel Bradford, Bishop of Rochester, Master, May 11, 1716, and author of several things, principally Sermons. William Ashburnham, Bishop of Chichester. Frederick William Harvey, Bishop of Derry, in Ireland, in 1779, fourth Earl of Derby; and James Yorke, Bishop of Ely, with three others of the Yorke family, all sons of the famous Phillip Yorke, Lord Chancellor, and the first Earl of Hardwicke.

P. 137.

TRINITY HALL.

Bylney without Christian name, or College, stands in Dr. Richardson's Catalogue Grad. C. L. B. 1521. P. 139. John Harvey, LL, D. was eighteenth Master. His best work was the Road, or Causey, that reaches about three miles towards Newmarket from Cambridge.

P. 139. Dr. Halifax had been of Jesus College, entered according to Richardson's Catalogue, October 21, 1749.

P. 143, notes. The Phillips's Theatrum Poet. referred to, is the edition, with additions, of 1800, of which only the first Volume was published.

P. 143. No such name as Hereside in Richardson's Catalogue.

P. 144. To the names of persons of rank educated in this College, might be added those of two or three Judges of more modern time.

P. 142. I have spoken incorrectly of the garden. There are two gardens. I had only been in the smaller one, by the water-side. Dele the remark -For a further account of Dr. Jowett, see Christian Observer.

QUEEN'S COLLEGE.

P. 147, 1. 26 after Jerusalem, add descended from the. P. 153. John Aubrey (Letters, &c. from Bodl. MSS.) says, that he heard that Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher, the dramatic poets, were both of Queen's; but we have already seen that Fletcher, at least, was of Bene't, p. 126 of this volume. Beaumont was not of Bene't; I rather think of Queen's; though I have not been able to find his admission.

P. 158, l. 11, add Thomas Brett, LL. D. of Bene't, but admitted first here, March 20, 1680, became a serious conscientious Nonjuror. He sacrificed his preferments to his principles, thongh he still continued a very worthy orthodox churchman. The Tracts written by him are numerous, of which a list may be seen in Nichols's Literary Anecdotes, &c. vol. I. p. 407 one of the most distinguished is a Chronological Essay on the Sacred History. He died March 5, 1743.-William Reeves, A. M. 1692, one of Queen Anne's Chaplains, published various Sermons.

P. 156, last line, for Redevivus, Redivivus.

P. 159. Dr. C. Plumptre's publication was not a translation, but a serious acute treatise in English, (to which he wrote a sensible preface,) entitled, An Inquiry concerning Virtue and Happiness, in a Letter to a Friend, an. 1751; the aim of which is to shew that man is a free moral agent; without a name: but in a copy that was the Archdeacon's, that I have read, possessed by my learned friend, Mr. Hammond, he has written Philip Glover, Esq. and to the preface he has subjoined his own name. No notice taken of this publication in Bentham's Account of Dr. Plumptre, in his History of Ely.

Ibid. Dr. P's father too, (of this University,) Huntingdon Plumptre, M. D. was author of a scarce, but said to be (I have never seen it) a valuable little volume, entitled, Epi

* D

grammatum Opusculum, duobus Libellis distinctum, A. D. 1629.

Mr. Hughes's Library, (p. 159) left to the College, consisted of a valuable collection of pamphlets and printed books. He also left a series of his own Sermons in MS. a desire being expressed in his will, that they should be printed, at the discretion of the Master and Fellows; and the wish of so respectable a man, and so great a benefactor, ought surely to have been complied with.

Joseph Dacre Carlyle, S. T. B. 1793, Professor of Arabic, 1795, published a Translation of some of the smaller pieces of Arabic Poetry, and some other pieces.

P. 160, 1. 17, add, among the men of eminent rank may be mentioned, George Harry Grey, who succeeded as fifth Earl of Stamford, in 1768; and Philip Yorke, born December 1, 1690, who raised himself solely by his talents to the head of the law, being made Lord Chancellor, February 21, 1731, which office he held with great honour for near twenty years. He was created Viscount Royston, and Earl of Hardwicke, April 2, 1754, and died March 6, 1764.

In the year 1772, as I am informed by Mr. Hammond, the famous Polish warrior, Prince Poniatowski, was a pupil of Mr. Barker's, a tutor of this College. He would willingly have been a member of it, and of the University, but for his religion, he being a Catholic. Not being capable, therefore, of becoming a member, he went abroad with Mr. Barker, as his travelling tutor.

P. 161. The Corkskrew, so far at least as Erasmus is concerned, is, I understand, and as I supposed at the time, a mere hoax.

Ibid. 1. 25, instead of chambers for students, read the Master's Chambers.

P. 166, 1. 13, for sixth, six.
