"At p, penult. of the preface it is said, that Dr. Harvey, like many great scholars, wrote so ill as with difficulty to be read. At p. 51, he calls K.

79. Joseph Hall, Emanuel College.

Afterwards Bishop of Exeter and Norwich.

"One of the very few Bishops or Ecclesiastics that Mr. Walpole condescends to speak favourably of. Query, whether that can or ought to be a recommendation of him. However, I think he deserves it. See Mr. Walpole's Catalogue of Royal and Noble Authors, edit. 1758, i. 187, note."

84. James Nasmith, Bene't College.

"Junior Proctor, 1771. Born at Norwich of dissenting parents, whose father is a considerable carrier from Norwich to London, whose father came out of Scotland. His father sent him for about a year to a school at Amsterdam, and then admitted him at College. He is my particular friend and acquaintance; a very worthy and honest man; no great admirer of the present church establishment, as may be conjectured; yet not outrageous, as many whose education was not with dissenters. He is now concerting an exchange with Dr. Warren for the Rectory of Snailwell, co. Camb.

"On the decline of Dr. Barnardiston, in Spring, 1778, he was thought to have pretensions to the Headship of his College, as a decent man, of a good temper, and beloved in his College: but Dr. Colman was elected in consequence of his refusal; he being then taken up with improving his living of Snailwell, and farming; and the Mastership not being above 1207. or 1307. per aną,

and engaging the occupier in an expensive way of living, which he had no taste for," &c.

He edited "Catalogus Librarum Manuscriptorum quos Coll. Corp. Christ. legavit Matthæus Parker, Arch. Cantuar, &c. Cantab. 4to. 1777," with a Latin preface of three pages, and inscription to the Master and Fellows of the College, at whose ex pence it was published. pp. 429, besides two good indices." Cole.

I remember him in the year 1795 or 1796, still resident at Snailwell, when he made me a present of the above Catalogue. He was much respected. His person and manners and habits were plain, in conformity to Cole's description. He was also an intelligent and active Magistrate. In latter life he removed, if I recollect, to better preferment, near Wisbeach. Editor.

85. Philip Nichols, LL. D. Fellow of Trinity Hall.

"Those articles, signed P. in the Biographia Britannica,* are of his composing. He also corrected the articles signed Z. which were composed by a lawyer, who died before his articles were completed.

"For a corrected list of the authors of this work, see Gent. Mag. for 1779, p. 173, 288, and 489.

He was brought from Oxford by a lapse, by the Master of Trinity Hall, Sir Nath. Lloyd, on which account it was said, that Sir Nathaniel left the College so much, to indemnify them, and repair the injury of his disgrace. He was in Priest's orders."

86. Robert Nelson, Esq. Trinity Coll.

"See Burnet's Hist. O. Times, ii. 406, &c. and numerous other biographical works.

"He was admitted of Trinity College, 1678, as it seems, first Pensioner, and after Fellow Commoner."
