OF

CAMBRIDGE

FROM

EARLIEST TIMES TO THE ROYAL

INJUNCTIONS OF 1535, by JAMES BASS MULLINGER, M.A.

"Any book which throws light on the origin and early history of our Universities will always be gladly welcomed by those who are interested in education, especially a book which is so full of varied information as Mr. Mullinger's History of Cambridge. He has brought together a mass of instructive details respecting the rise and progress, not only of his own University, but of all the principal Universities of the Middle Ages. In an introductory chapter he gives a comprehensive sketch of the whole learned world during the first thousand years after the Christian era, and he then passes on to the leading schoolmen, to the quarrels between the various philosophical schools of the religious orders, and to the gradual rise of a learned body outside of those orders.... Towards the end of the volume we have an interesting sketch of the trio who stand prominent in

The

the history of the Universities at the time of the Reformation, Wolsey, Fisher, and Erasmus. The worldly, ambitious, unprincipled Cardinal, is a striking contrast alike to the ascetic bishop, and to the refined, selfish, discontented man of letters. haughty, extravagant, self-indulgent Wolsey, presents a strange picture, as he stands side by side with the pious, humble, self-denying Cambridge Reformer.. Our volume ends with the visit of the Commissioners sent by Cromwell to inquire into the state of the Universities, and with the Royal Injunctions which ousted the Papal jurisdiction, and with it the time-honoured predominance of the scholastic teaching.... We hope some day that he may continue his labours, and give us a history of the University during the troublous times of the Reformation and the Civil War."-Athenæum.

HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE OF ST JOHN THE EVANGELIST,

by THOMAS BAKER, B.D., Ejected Fellow. Edited by JOHN E. B. MAYOR, M.A., Fellow of St John's. Two Vols. Demy 8vo. 24s.

"It may be doubted whether there is any MS. in existence which Cambridge men have been more anxious to see committed to the press, under competent editorship, than the History of St John's by that Socius Ejectus Thomas Baker, whose life Walpole desired to write. It is perhaps well for Baker's reputation that it was reserved for so peculiarly competent an editor as Mr Mayor to give this history to the world. . . . . If it be highly to the credit of the Syndics of the Pitt Press to have printed the book, the manner in which he has edited it reflects no less credit upon Mr Mayor."-Notes and Queries.

"To antiquaries the book will be a source of almost inexhaustible amusement, by historians it will be found a work of considerable service on questions respecting our social progress in past times; and the care and thoroughness with which Mr Mayor has discharged his editorial functions are creditable to his learning and his industry." Athenæum.

"The work displays very wide reading, and it will be of great use to members of the college and of the university, and, perhaps,

of still greater use to students of English history, ecclesiastical, political, social, literary and academical, who have hitherto had to be content with Dyer.'"-Academy.

"It may be thought that the history of a college cannot be particularly attractive. The two volumes before us, however, have something more than a mere special interest for those who have been in any way connected with St John's College, Cambridge; they contain much which will be read with pleasure by a far wider circle. Many of the facts brought under our notice are of considerable value to the general historical student. Every member of this ancient foundation will recognize the worth of Mr Mayor's labours, which, as it will appear, have been by no means confined to mere ordinary editorial work. The index with which Mr Mayor has furnished this useful work leaves nothing to be desired. We congratulate him on the completion of his labours, and sincerely echo the wish expressed by him that in return for the benefactions they enjoy, other fellows of colleges will explore their hidden treasures and bring them into the light of day."--Spectator.

"The number of books on various subjects of the civil law, which have lately issued from the Press, shews that the revival of the study of Roman jurisprudence in this country is genuine and increasing. The present edition of Gaius and Ulpian from the Cambridge University Press indicates that the Universities are alive to the importance of the movement, and the fact that the new edition has made its appearance within four years from the original production of the book, should encourage the Syndics to further efforts in the same direction. The auspices under which Messrs Abdy and Walker produce their book are a guarantee that it is a scholarly and accurate performance; and Mr Abdy's practical experience as a County Court Judge supplies a link between theory and practice which, no doubt, has had a beneficial effect upon their work."-Law Journal.
