BAUMGARTNER PAPERS.
These Papers were presented to the University in 1859 and
1861, by John Percy Baumgartner, Esq., of Milton Hall, near
Cambridge, the representative of the family of the Knights, who
had possessed the property for upwards of 90 years.
Cole, the antiquarian, in a letter to Horace Walpole, dated
Milton, July 9, 1772, speaks of the S(][uire of the parish as a rich
clergyman, " who about five years ago purchased the chief part of
the parish," and was then ''actually building a good house to
reside in." (E. Warburton's Memoirs of Horace Walpole^ Sfc.
Vol. n. p. 388.)
This was the Rev. Samuel Knight, the only son of Dr Samuel
Knight, Prebendary of Ely and Rector of Bluntisham, the author
of the Lives of Erasmus and Dean Colet. At the time of his
death Dr Knight was preparing Memoirs of Bishop Patrick and
of John Strype (the latter of which is among these Papers), and
these collections were doubtless made with a view to those
biographies.
There is no tradition in the family as to how the Papers came
into the possession of Dr Knight ; but it may be conjectured that,
as he was a correspondent of Strype during the later years of the
latter, this large collection of letters may have been put into his
hands by Strype himself or some of his family, to aid him in
compiling his Memoirs ; while his connection with Ely may have
facilitated his acquirement of the papers belonging to Bishop
Patrick and his brother John.
The Collection may be conveniently divided into two parts :
I. The Strype Correspondence.
II. The Patrick Papers.

I. The Strype Correspondence.
A folio volume, containing a large collection of Original
Letters addressed to Strype, chiefly from relations, or intimate
friends. They are, for the most part, in excellent preservation,
except that some of those on the largest paper are rubbed at
the edges. The volume, which was ill-bound in rough boards,
and exceedingly bulky, was numbered Vol. i. on the cover. It has
been divided into two parts for convenience. The fly-leaf is in-
scribed with these words :

H. Wharton was the true author.] Expresses a high opinion of the
'Specimen.' Thinks the author of it must have seen the Original
Council Book. That which he copied by stealth, and part of which he
communicated to Strype, probably only a copy. Thinks he can guess the
author of the Specimen ; and that he lives ' northward from London above
a daye's journey.' Has never communicated anything out of the Canterbury
Registers to any one but Strype ; and therefore should have been disposed to
suspect that he was Antony Harmer. Reason for thinking it cannot be
Wharton. It more concerns Bp. Bumet * to answer what is layd to his
charg concerning his dealing with Mr Fulman by the author of the Athense
Oxonienses, than to answer anything in this Specimen.' Never saw a paint-
ing of Cranmer with a beard. R. Besely one of the six Canterbury

here in troublesome times, one Pi-ovince closing against the other by means
of French emissaries.... The Spanish Netherlands are in constant danger to
be put again in fire and flame.... Two of his sons being students do wish for

was. That he had once in his hands a Journal of the Lower House of Con-
vocation, 1562], and that I purposely omitted his name because I believed
he was mistaken. So that this writer mistakood {sic) me, and what I
wrot. And he mistakes also my expression that" such a Journal was once

fessor, a very learned, and, as we thought, pious man, has written a Book
concerning the Trinity and designs to print it, wherin he sides with the
Arrians. He has showed it to severall of his freinds who tell him it is a
damnable, heretical Book and that, if he prints it, he'll lose his Professor-

part of the Ducatns Leodensis: 'I must own that I am much straitned
by a potent adversary, who instead of paying me a just debt that his father
owed me, of above a thousand pounds, sues me in Chancery in the name of
his mother,... while he swaggers in his coach, &c. This with the education
of my Son at the University (who is.. .inevitably chargable) straitens me
more than I am willing to confess even to my friends.'

description of the then state of the Diocese of Lincoln, with the names and

one life by forwarding another.' Of his services to Bp. Burnet he says : ' I
can assure you, I furnish out nothing, besides mistakes, and these not very
considerable.' To Strype he adds : ' I thank you for your short account of
yourself; you do not use to be so short, when you speak of other men.'

has parted with the originals of Puckring's Papers to the Lord Treasurer,

he may use out of it under his name [viz. MSS. Harley], which * will give
'em more reputation and authority, then if they had come from an obscure

The Italian Church.' Petrus Bizarrus Perusinus was a fellow of S. John's

be glad to know anything of the state of the Italian Church then in Eng-
land, or of any other Italians that came over then upon account of Religion.'

Allowances are to be made for first Essays, w""" will usually be imperfect,
and therefore he concludes D' Perne to be the author, notwithstanding ' one
or two mistakes that a man so knowing as he would hardly be guilty off:'
though * D' Caius, who writes our History, has been guilty of the like.'

which last will not bear another impression, having been superseded by
later Tables of the same kind. The University ' at such expense in fitting
up Libraries (one part whereof is almost finisht, tho' it will not hold much
above half the Books) that they have nothing left to purchase Books.'
118. 17J|. March. * K. James's Grant for sending Burgesses from Cam-

Bangor, Archbishop of York and Canterbury, who was
born Jan. 3, 1693, and was therefore only in his 17th year
at the date of this Letter. The writer was Matthew Hutton,
D.D., Rector of Aynho, a noted antiquary, sometime
Fellow of Brasenose Coll. Oxford, who died June 27, 171 1.
Most of his other letters (see Index) are dated Aynho.

Note on the Index to the Strype Correspondence.
As these Letters had been bound in Volumes by Strype himself, without any
regard to order, and had been used and transcribed in that state by Cole the anti-
quary (many years resident at Milton) and otliers, it did not appear advisable to
disturb the arrangement. It is hoped that the following Alphabetical and Chrono-
logical Index may obviate any inconvenience that might result from the wild
confusion of Strypti's arrangement. The Index includes references to the Letters,
in the Volume of Strype Correspondence, purchased at Mr Dawson Turner's sale,
in Class Mm. vi. 49, which is represented in the Index by an asterisk.
• I must express my obligations to C. H. Cooper, Esq. for the corrections and
additional references marked with an asterisk.

of that Church concerning her life and glory, and in the devotions paid to
her, &c. Both shewed out of the offices of that Church, &c. &c.' (Lond.
4to, pp. 155.) The MS. Collections in Nos. 16 and 16 were evidently made
with a view to this work.

19 A Volume of Letters from Dr Symon Patrick, when
Eector of S. Paul's, Covent Garden, afterwards Bishop of Ely
(1691 — 1707), to Mrs Elizabeth Gauden, of Hutton Hall,
Brentwood, Essex. They relate mostly to matters of private in-
terest, and are chiefly occupied with offering religious consolation
and advice to Mrs Gauden.
Few of them are dated in full by the writer ; but the year
has been in many cases added, apparently by Mrs Gauden herself;
by whom also several are endorsed stating the occasion on which
they were written: (e. g. 'when my child was ill'). Many of them
have been copied, and the copies are here inserted after their re-
spective originals. These copies were made by Dr Knight with
a view to their publication with his Memoir of Bp. Patrick; in
which he thus speaks of the Correspondence : ' He gave to the
excellent Lady Gauden, wife of Sir Denys Gauden in Essex, a
letter once a week at least, how matters stood with him as to
his health, and the increase or decrease of the plague ; in which
also are very pious instructions for her comfort and consolation ;
she being at that time under a cloud of melancholy.' (p. 21 of the
MS. Life. No. 20 in this Collection.) The dates range from 1665 to
1678, but by far the greater part were written in 1665, with frequent
22 PATRICK PAPERS. 163
notices of the Great Plague of London which was then raging.
They were numbered from 1 to 97, but Nos. 1—10, 14, 16 — 19,
22, 23, 30-32, 59—61, 63, 69, 78, 80, 86, 94, are now missing,
and have been since 1845, for with the Letters is a List made
by the Donor in 1854, now bound at the beginning of the
Volume, to which is added this Note : • The above is the List
of Dr S. P. Letters, as they came into my possession in 1845.
Octob. 10, 1854. J. P. B.' A few notices of public matters are
interspersed, but they do not appear to be of sufl&cient interest to
demand a detailed description.
They are here bound as originally numbered, though not in
chronological order. Nos. 20, 36, 79, are from Mrs Gauden to
Dr Patrick. At the end of the Volume is
1. A Letter from Philip Morant, Rector of S. Mary's, Colchester, to
the Rev. Samuel Knight, of Stanwick (dated Jan. 11, 1754), requesting the
loan of papers for his Life of Bp. Patrick in the Biographia Britannica.
2. A Letter from Charles Marriott, Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford,
to Mrs Knight, of Milton Hall, (dated March 27, 1838,) thanking her for
the loan of the Memoir of Bp. Patrick, and asking permission to publish it.
20
A quarto, described on the cover, ♦ Life of Symon Patrick 20
[Bishop of Ely] MS. by D-^ Knight, Prebend of Ely.'
The leaves were numbered as far as 102, aft^r which are ten
more completing the Life. There are however insertions through-
out, and the first three leaves of the Memoir as originally written
have been cancelled and placed at the end of the Volume ; their
place being filled with a much fuller introduction, occupying
8 leaves : but of these 1 and 2 have been also in effect cancelled
and expanded ; and the Memoir as finally left by the author com-
mences on fol. 3.
A quarto, described on the cover, ' History of Churches in zi
Cambridgeshire.'*
It contains Collections relating to the Churches in the Diocese
of Ely, with several sermons written on the blank pages, by
Dr Knight, and in another hand.

tissimo viro M'° Gulielmo Cicello, Supplicum Libellorum Magistro:'

Edition, Oxon. 1703. p. 287.
2. Dr Samuel Ward to Archbishop U&sher, dated ' Cambridge, May 24,

favour in behalf of Dr Congham, sometyme of Christ Colledge, State of the

5. An expostulatory letter of 24 closely written pages to Symon Patrick,
by an anonymous writer, on a Sermon preached by him. It has no sig-
nature, date, or address ; but it is evidently addressed to Symon Patrick, as
it refers to a ' Book on the Christian Sacrifice ;' and Patrick published a
book under that title in 1697; and concludes with a suggestion that he
should ' print the sermons preached by you at Covent Gardene ever since
the beginning of the first Popish Plot,' meaning apparently that denounced
by T. Oat€S in 1678. Patrick was Rector of S. Paul's, Covent Garden.

dicandum sub sigillo universitatis V In 1508 the jun. proctor is 'Milo
Becardyk' or 'Bekerdyke' (pp. 37, 38). Le. Neve calls him Pet. Bykar-
dyke. After a.d. 1510 (p. 41), follows directly (p. 43) a.d. 1512, and the
error runs on to the end a.d. 1544, the proctors of each year being assigned
to the next. The sen. proctor for 1516 is Rob. Bolton in Le Neve, Roland
Bolron in Baker (p. 52). The sen. proctor for 1518 is Wm. Cokks in Le

admitted Sir Tho. Bevir chaplain to the rectory of Fulmere, on the

a MS. inter Archiva Acad. Cant., probably lodg'd there by Archbp. Parker,
wherewith it agrees exactly, as well as with the Account the Translator
gives of that MS.' In p. 338 Baker has cited two passages, wanting in the
C. C. C. MS. and found in that ' inter Archiva Acad. Cant.', as proving that
the English life was taken from this last, which also corresponds with the
translator's description. A later hand (Masters?) says 'There is another

Pleasures of the law. Valla and Politian confessed that their command of
words was greatly enlarged by the study of the Digest (pp. 411 — il3).
2. * Oratio prima, de suis Auditoribus, et de ratione Studii Juris Civilis.*
When he went beyond sea to study law, he prayed for an early death, if the
study continued to be distasteful ; if not, that he might one day be restored
to Cambridge. He has now the desired opportunity. Difficulty of fulfilling
the expectations of his Greek class of bygone years ; and of contenting the
lawyers who are only lawyers, holding other studies useless, though want of
scholarship often misled Accursius and Bartholus. Hopes that his own
study of the poets, of logic and rhetoric, his lectures in philosophy, acquaint-
ance with Greek, Roman, English and French history may stand him in
stead ; can cite many passages from the Pandects, which require a know-
ledge of physicians, philosophers, orators or poets in their interpreter. It
was said that he had not given enough time to law. Yet on becoming a
member of the senate he bought the Digest and Code, and works of
Alciatus, Zasius, Ferrarius ; and finding no guide in Cambridge, visited
almost every French university, and the most famous doctors of Italy. His
notes of lectures and commentaries on the ' Corpus Civile' prove the length
of time which he has given to the study. Eagerness of students to attend
his lectures. Will not desert philosophy ; Law and Ethics akin. Asks of
his class 2 hours, one for hearing, one for repeating his lecture, and an equal
time for some other lecturer, during one year. Difficulties of the law ; new
terms ; brevity. He himself had no teacher in Greek, cosmography, astro-
nomy, oratory ; but in law he found a guide needful, because of the vast
extent of the field. Will do his utmost to fulfil the duties of his chair ; but
advises his class to attend other lectures also (pp. 414 — 430). 8. Hampton
Court 27 Dec. 1575. Letter to Ant. Corranus. Laments the dispute

church one with the English, excluding the Puritans ; no spy sent by
Paul v., but escaped with difficulty into England, as is known to Dav.
Moray and Rob. Barnes ; came to England to heal the schism ; the king's
supremacy, to which he has sworn, not a spiritual power ; hopes that the
pope will make some concessions ; has argued with the bp. of Lichfield,
Dr Goad and others, ill favour of private masses, invocation of saints etc.

which he has received from Rome (pp. 269 — 277). 7. The Savoy 1 March

Latinity;' treats of the points of diflFerence between the churches ; does not
leave England rich ; his whole stipend here £500 a year ; rebukes Hall's
violence ; will gladly leave England, where his soul is in danger (pp. 277 —
284). 8. The abp. to Hall. He came to England to study the differences
between the churches ; to have liberty of writing ; to discover the grounds
of union; to hear the king's wisdom and serve him. These points are
treated at length. Heresy and schism. Hall early left the synod of Dort,
but Goade ' in Calvinianos rigores est abreptus.' Puritans enemies to peace.
Abp. Abbot refused a licence to his third volume. Luxury and pomp of
English prelates. The English reformation moderate ; but the Puritan
party made union with Rome impossible. High praise of the king. Scheme
for liberty of worship. Offers to defend 7 points of Roman doctrine. Pro-
loosed oath of allegiance (pp. 285 — 304).

1. ' A Remembrance ' etc. 1593. Morice, disliking the oath er officio
mero wrote a treatise on oaths, which he delivered to two only, a Counsellor
of Estate and an ecclesiastical commissioner. No reform being made, he
spoke as follows to the lower house of pari. 27 Febr. 35 Eliz. The speech
assails the bishops' 'ungodlye and intoUerable Inquisition'; 'lawlesse Sub-
scription'; ' bindeinge Absolution'. Subjects are imprisoned and fined with-
out law ; subscriptions are pressed to the defrauding patrons of their rights ;
absolution only granted to such as swear obedience. It were unjust to offer
an oath to perform all laws of the realm j no law empowers bishops to im-
40 BAKER MANUSCRIPTS. 479
pose oaths on laymen. Petition submitted by the Commons to the Lords
27 Eliz. against subscriptions ; with a plea for the deprived clergy, against
the oath ex officio mero, bitterly answered by the bishops. Offers the house
two bills in form of petition to the queen (pp. 105 — 112). 2. First bill.
'An Act agenst Unlawfull Oathes, Inquisitions, and Subscriptions'. Ty-
ranny of the ecclesiastical commissioners. The oath ex officio makes men
their own accusers ; it is enforced by imprisonment and excommunication.
All bishops and othere enforcing such oaths by such means to incur the
penalties of the statute of premunire. No subscription, not commanded by
common or statute law, to be enforced under the same penalty (pp. 112 — 117).
3. Second bill. ' An Acte ageinst unlawfull Imprisonment and Restraynt
of Libertie '. Only the heading given. Interruption by Dalton of Lincoln's
Inn, who inveighed against puritans and the church of Midleborough, and
'was with spittinge and coughinge interrupted '. Then Wolley of the privy
council ' bare us in hand, that wee were forbydden to deale in any matters
of estate'. Dr Lewyn justified the proceeding ex officio, and said that sub-
scription was used at Geneva. Fynche of Greys Inne argued against inqui-
sition. Sir Fras. Knowles defended Morice. Sir Rob. Cecyll asked that the
reading of the bill might be stayed till next day. The Speaker, who pro-
mised to bring both bills next day, was sent for to court, and the bills were
never read. Next day Morice appeared before the privy council, where he
was told that his mistake was in form, not in matter. Committed to Sir Jo.
Fortescue's house, who treated him courteously (pp. 117 — 121). 4. 1 March
159|. Morice to the lord treasurer. Petty matters may be handled in par-
liament. ' But the greate things of the Lawe and publique Justice maie not
be touched without offence'. Will always * stryve for the freedome of Con-
science, publique Justice, and the Liberties of my Country' (pp. 121 — 123).
5. 4 March 159|. Same to earl of Essex. Asks him to pacify the queen.
A favorable answer sent (pp. 123, 124). 6. 13 March 159|. Same to the
lord treasurer. Has refused the offers to move the lower house to petition
for his release. Begs Burleigh to intercede with the queen, as the close air
is hurtful to his pleurisy (pp. 124, 125). 7. Examined 17 March by the
council at Russell House touching Pet. Wentworth's motion for establish-
ment of succession ; the statement then made is given at length. Morice
did his best to dissuade Wentworth (pp. 125—128). 8. 6 Apr. 1593. Same
to same. Contradicts a report that he has conferred with othei"s, than
AVentworth, about the succession (pp. 128, 129). 9. 16 Apr. 1593. Same
to same. Suffering from pleurisy and gout. Last term in the court of

he bought occasionally as he wanted them at the stationers, which were
only bound in a thin parchment, which by his constant use of them when
alive, and their being less careful of them since his death, are now, many of
them, very loose in their binding'.

A small folio, on paper ; the original part is of the xvth century ; the
supply, which is now collected and placed at the end, is of the early part of
the xviith. It is the volume marked 46 in the sale catalogue of the Duke of
Lauderdale's MSS. (printed Lond. 1691-2, 4", and reprinted in the Banna-
tyne Miscellany, Vol. ii. p. 149).
I. The original volume, consisting of upwards of 326 leaves, of which
1 — 10, 24, 324 — 326, and all following, are now wanting, contained
The Destruction of Troy, translated from the Latin of Guide de
Colonna.
Leaves 11 — 19* contain part (defective at the beginning) of a translation
in romance couplets, apparently by John Barbour, the author of the Bras.
Leaves 19' — 304" are part of Lydgate's translation (printed Lond. 1513, 1555,
folio). Leaves 304'' — 323 contain a continuation of the story from Barbour's
translation, defective at the end. The beginnings and endings are as follows :

Some of the missing portions of the latter part of Barbour's translation
are to be found in MS. Douce 148, which was probably copied from this MS.
before it was so much mutilated. See Mr Bradshaw's notice in the Cam-
bridge Antiquarian Society's Communications, Vol. iii. p. 117.
II. The supply, consisting of 82 leaves, is mostly in the handwriting of
Sii' James Murray of Tibbermuir. The contents are as follows :
1. Twelve lines, from the beginning of Book 8, Chapter 5, of the Life
and Acts of Wallace, beginning (leaf 1") :

At the end of the last is written 'Vale.' Against N°. 21 the writer has put

edition of 1821 ; and, on the other hand, Mr David Laing has printed it as by
Drummond of Hawthornden; see Archceologica Scotica, Vol. iv. page 101

vivacity. In fact, one might take this edition
with him on a journey, and, without any other
help whatever, acquire with comfort and de-
light a thorough acquaintance with the noblest
production of, perhaps, the most difficult of all
Greek poets— the most difficult, yet possessed
at the same time of an immortal charm for one
who has mastered him, as JVIr Jebb has, and
can feel so subtly perfection of form and lan-
guage...We await with lively expectation the
continuation, and completion ol Mr Jebb's
great task, and it is a fortunate thing that his
power of work seems to be as great as the style
is happy in which the work is done." — The

"An edition which marks a definite ad-
vance, which is whole in itself, and brings a
mass of solid and well-wrought material such
as future constructors will desire to adapt, is
definitive in the only applicable sense of the
term, and such is the edition of Professor Jebb.
No man is better fitted to express in relation to
Sophocles the mind of the present generation."
— The Saturday Review.
"Of his explanatory and critical notes we
can only speak with admiration. Thorough
scholarship combines with taste, erudition, and
boundless industry to make this first volume a
pattern of editing. The work is made com-
plete by a prose translation, upon pages alter-
nating with the text, of which we may say
shortly that it displays sound judgment and
taste, without sacrificing precision to poetry of
expression." — The Times.
"This larger edition he has deferred these
many years for reasons which he has given in
his preface, and which we accept with entire
sttisfaction, as we have now the first portion
of a work composed in the fulness of his powers
and with all the resources of fine erudition and
laboriously earned experience... We will confi-
dently aver, then, that the edition is neither
tedious nor long : for we get in one compact
volume such a cyclopaedia of instruction, such
a variety of helps to the full comprehension of
the poet, as not so many years a^o would have
needed a small library, and all this instruction
and assistance given, not in a dull and pedantic
way, but in a style of singular clearness and

HISTOKY.
LIFE AND TIMES OF STEIN, OR GERMANY AND
PRUSSIA IN THE NAPOLEONIC AGE, by J. R. Seeley,
M.A., Regius Professor of Modern History in the University of
Cambridjje, with Portraits and Maps. 3 Vols, Demy 8vo. Now
reduced to 30j'. {originally published at 48^-.)
"Dr Busch's volume has made people think
and talk even more than usual of Prince Bis-
marck, and Professor Seeley's very learned work
on Stein will turn attention to an earlier and an
almost equally eminent German statesman. It
has been the good fortune of Prince Bismarck
to help to raise Prussia to a position which she
bad never before attained, and to complete the
work of German unification. The frustrated
labours of Stein in the same field were also
very great, and well worthy to be taken into
account. He was one, perhaps the chief, of
the illustrious group of strangers who came to
the rescue of Prussia in her darkest hour, about
the time of the inglorious Peace of Tilsit, and
who laboured to put life and order into her
dispirited army, her impoverished finances, and
her inefficient Civil Service. Stein strove, too,
• — no man more, — for the cause of unification
when it seemed almost folly to hope for suc-
cess. Englishmen will feel very pardonable
pride at seeing one of their countrymen under-
take to write the history of a period from the
investigation of which even laborious Germans
are apt to shrink." — Times.
" In a notice of this kind scant justice can
be done to a work like the one before us; no
short rcsumS can give even the most meagre
notion of the contents of these volumes, which
contain no page that is superfluous, and none
that is uninteresting .... To understand the
Germany of to-day one must study the Ger-
many of many yesterdays, and now that study
has been made easy by this work, to which no
one can hesitate to assign a very high place
among those recent histories which have aimed
at original research." — Athenceunt.
"The book before us fills an important gap
in English — nay, European — historical litera-
ture, and bridges over the history of Prussia
from the time of Frederick the Great to the
days of Kai.ser Wilhelm. It thus gives the
reader standing ground whence he may regard
contemporary events in Germany in their pro-
per historic light . . . We congratulate Cam-
bridge and her Professor of History on the
appearance of such a noteworthy production.
And we m.iy add that it is something upon
which we may congratulate England that on
the especial field of the Germans, history, on
the history of their own country, by the use of
their own literary weapons, an Englishman has
produced a history of Germany in the Napo-
leonic age fat superior to any that exists in
German. " — Examiner.
THE GROWTH OF ENGLISH INDUSTRY AND
COMMERCE. By W. Cunningham, M.A., late Deputy to the

"He is, however, undoubtedly sound in the
main, and his work deserves recognition as the
result of immense industry and research in a
field in which the labourers have hitherto been
comparatively few. "— Scotsman.
" Mr Cunningham is not likely to disap-
point any readers except such as begin by mis-
taking the character of his book. He does not
promise, and does not give, an account of the
dimensions to which Engli.sh industry and com-
merce have grown. It is with the process of
growth that he is concerned ; and this process
he traces with the philosophical insight which
distinguishes between what is important and
what is trivial. He thus follows with care,
skill, and deliberation a single thread through
the maze of general English history." — Guar'

A CATALOGUE OF ANCrENT MARBLES L\ GREAT
BRITAIN, by Prof. Adolf Michaelis. Translated by C. A. M.
Fennell, Litt. D., late Fellow of Jesus College. Royal 8vo. Rox-
burgh (Morocco back), £2. 2s.
"The object of the present work of Mich-
aelis is to de-icribe and make known the vast
treasures of ancient sculpture now accumulated
in the galleries of Great Britain, the extent and
value of which are scarcely at>preciated, and
chiefly so because there ha* hitherto been little
accessible information about them. To the
loving labours of a learned German the owners
of art treasures in England are for the second
time indebted for a full description of their rich
possessions. Waagen gave to the private col-
lections of pictures the advantage of his in-
spection and cultivated acquaintance with art,
and now Michaelis performs the same office
for the still less known private hoards of an-
tique sculptures for which our country is so
remarkable. The book is beautifully executed,
and with its few handsome plates, and excel-
lent indexes, does much credit to the Cam-
bridge Press. It has not been printed in
German, but appears for the first time in the
English translation. All lovers of true art and
of good work should be grateful to the Syndics
of the Univer.sity Pre.ss for the liberal facilitie.s
afforded by them towards the production of
this important volume by Professor Michaelis."
— Saturday Kevieiv.
"'Ancient Marbles' here mean relics of
Greek and Roman origin which have been
imported into Great Britain from classical
soil. How rich this island is in respect to
these remains of ancient art, every one knows,
but it is equally well known that these trea-
sures had been most inadequately described
before the author of this work undertook the
labour of description. Professor Michaelis has
achieved so high a fame as an authority in
classical archajology that it seems unneces-
sary to say how good a book this i^."—The

LECTURES ON TEACHING, delivered in the University
of Cambridge in the Lent Term, 1880. By J. G. FlTCH, M.A., Her
Majesty's Inspector of Schools.
"The lectures will be found most interest-
ing, and deserve to be carefully studied, not
only by persons directly concerned with in-
struction, but by parents who wish to be able
to exercise an intelligent judgment in the
choice of schools and teachers for their chil-
(iren. For ourselves, we could almost wish to
be of school age again, to learn history and
geography from some one who could teach
them after the pattern set by Mr Fitch to his
audience . . . But perhaps Mr Fitch's observa-
tions on the general conditions of school-work
are even more important than what he says on
this or that branch of study." — Saturday Re-
vie^v.
" It comprises fifteen lectures, dealing with
such subjects as organisation, discipline, ex-
amining, language, fact knowledge, science,
and methods of instruction ; and though the
lectures make no pretention to systematic or
exhaustive treatment, they >et leave very little
of the ground uncovered ; and they combine in
an admirable way the exposition of sound prin-
ciples with practical suggestions and illustra-
tions which are evidently derived from wide
and varied experience, both in teaching and In
examining."— -^fc^iwrt«.
Crown 8vo. New Edition. 55.
"As principal of a training college and as a
Government inspector of schools, Mr Fitch has
got at his fingers' ends the working of primary
education, while as assistant commissioner to
the late Endowed Schools Commission he has
seen something of the machinery of our higher
.schools . . . Mr Fitch's book covers so wide a
field and touches on so many burning questions
that we must be content to recommend it as
the best existing vade niecum for the teacher.
. . . He is always sensible, always judicious,
never wanting in tact . . . Mr Fitch is a scholar ;
he pretends to no knowledge that he does not
possess; he brings to his work the ripe expe-
rience of a well-stored mind, and he possesses
in a remarkable degree the att of exposition."
—Pall Mall Gazette.
"Therefore, without reviewing the book for
the second time, we are glad to avail ourselves
of the opportunity of calling attention to the
re-issue of the volume in the five-shilling form,
bringing it within the reach of the rank and
file of the profession. We cannot let the oc-
casion pass without making special reference to
the excellent section on 'punishments' in the
lecture on ' Discipline.' " — School Board Chron-

The want of an Annotated Edition of tiie Bible, in handy portions, suitable for
School use, has long been felt.
In order to provide Text-books for School and Examination purposes, the
Cambridge University Press has arranged to publish the several books of the
Bible in separate portions at a moderate price, with introductions and explanatory
notes.
The Very Reverend J. J. S. Perowne, D.D., Dean of Peterborough, has
undertaken the general editorial supervision of the work, assisted by a staff of
eminent coadjutors. Some of the books have been already edited or undertaken
by the following gentlemen :
Rev. A. Carr, M.A., late Assistant Master at Wellington College.
Rev. T. K. CheYNE, M.A., D.D., late Fellow of Balliol College, Oxford.

"The modesty of the general title of this series has, we believe, led many to misunderstand
its character and underrate its value. The books are well suited for study in the upper forms of
our ijest schools, but not the less are they adapted to the wants of all Bible students who are not
specialists. We doubt, indeed, whether any of the numerous popular commentaries recently
issued in this country will be found more serviceable for general use." — Academy.

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST MATTHEW. By the
Rev. A. Carr, M.A. With 4 Maps. 4^-. dd.
"With the ' Notes,' in the volume before us, we are much pleased ; so far as we have searched,
they are scholarly and sound. The quotations from the Classics are apt ; and the references to
modern Greek form a pleasing feature." — The Churchman.
" Copious illustrations, gathered from a great variety of sources, make his notes a very valu-
able aid to the student. They are indeed remarkably interesting, while alt explanations on
meanings, applications, and tfie like are distinguished by their lucidity and good sense." —
Pail Mall Gazette.
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST MARK. By the Rev.
G. F. Maclear, D.D. With 3 Maps. 4/. 6d.
"The Cambridge Greek Testament, of which Dr Maclear's edition of the Gospel according to
St Mark is a volume, certainly supplies a want. Without pretending to compete with the leading
commentaries, or to embody very much original research, it forms a most satisfactory introduction
to the study of the New Testament in the original . . . Dr Maclear'j introduction contains all that
is known of St Mark's life, with references to passages in the New Testament in which he is
mentioned ; an account of the circumstances in which the Gospel was composed, with an e.stimaie
of the influence of St Peter's teaching upon St Mark ; an excellent sketch of the special character-
istics of this Gospel ; an analysis, and a chapter on the text of the New Testament generally . . .
The work is completed by three good maps." — Saturday Rcvieiv.
"The Notes, which are admirably put together, .seem to contain all that is nece.-isary for the
guidance of the student as well as a judicious selection of passages fiom various sources illustrat'
ing scenery and manners." — Academy.

THE ANABASIS OF XENOPHON, Books I. III. IV.
and V. With a Map and English Notes by Alfred Pretor, M.A., Fellow
of St Catharine's College, Cambridge ; Editor of Persius and Cicero ad Atti-
cum Book I. 2j. each.
"In Mr Pretor's edition of the Anabasis the text of Kfihner has been followed in the main,
while the exhaustive and admirable notes of the great German editor have been largely utilised.
These notes deal with the minutest as well as the most important difficulties in construction, and
all questions of history, antiquity, and geography are briefly but very effectually elucidated." — The
ExaiKiner.
"We welcome this addition to the other books of the Anabasis so ably edited by Mr Pretor.
Although originally intended for the use of candidates at the university local examinations, yet
this edition will be found adapted not only to meet the wants of the junior student, but even
advanced scholars will find much in this work that will repay its perusal." — Tlie Schoolmaster.
"Mr Pretor's 'Anabasis of Xenophon, Book IV.' displays a union of accurate Cambridge
scholarship, with experience of what is required by learners gained in examining middle-class
schools. The text is large and clearly printed, and the notes explain all difficulties. . . .Mr
Pretor's notes seem to be all that could be wished as regards grammar, geography, and other
matters." — The Academy.
BOOKS II. VI. and VII. By the same Editor. 7.s. 6d. each.
"Another Greek text, designed it would seem for students preparing for the local examinations,
is 'Xenophon's Anabasis,' Book II., with English Notes, by Alfred Pretor, M.A. The editor has
exercised his usual discrimination in utilising the text and notes of Kuhner, with the occasional
assistance of the best hints of Schneider, VoUbrecht and Macmichael on critical matters, and of
Mr R. W. Taylor on points of history and geography. . . When Mr Pretor commits himself to
Commentator's work, he is eminently helpful. . . Had we to introduce a young Greek scholar
to Xenophon, we should esteem ourselves fortunate in having Pretor's text-book as our chart and
guide." — Contemporary Review.

M. T. CICERONIS DE AMICITIA. Edited by J. S.
Reid, ml., Litt. U., Fellow and Assistant Tutor of Gonville and Caius
College, Cambridge. New Edition, with Additions. 3^. dd.
"Mr Reid has decidedly attained his aim, namely, 'a thorough examination of the Latinity
of the dialogue. ' The revision of the text is most valuable, and comprehends sundry
acute corrections. . . . This volume, like Mr Reid's other editions, is a solid gain to the scholar-
ship of the country." — Athenaum.
"A more distinct gain to scholarship is Mr Reid's able and thorough edition of the De
AmicitiA of Cicero, a work of which, whether we regard the exhaustive introduction or the
instructive and most su<^gestive commentary, it would be difficult to speak too highly. . . . When
we come to the commentary, we are only amazed by its fulness in proportion to its bulk.
Nothing IS overlooked which can tend to enlarge the learner's general knowledge of Ciceronian
Latin or to elucidate the Icxt." — S aturday Review.
M. T. CICERONIS CATO MAJOR DE SENECTUTE.
Edited by J. S. Reid, M.L., Litt. D. 7,s. 6d.
" The notes are excellent and scholarlike, adapted for the upper forms of public schools, and
likely to be useful even to more advanced students." — Guardian.
M. T. CICERONIS ORATIO PRO ARCHIA POETA.
Edited by J. S. Reid, M.L., Litt. D. Revised Edition, is.
" It is an admirable specimen of careful editing. An Introduction tells us everything we could
wish to know about Archias, about Cicero's connexion with him, about the merits of the trial, and
the genuineness of the speech. The text is well and carefully printed. The notes are clear and
scholar-like. . . . No boy can master this little volume without feeling that he has advanced a long
step in scholarship." — The Academy.
M. T. CICERONIS PRO L. CORNELIO BALBO ORA-
TIO. Edited by J. S. Reid. M.L., Litt. D. is.dd.
" We are bound to recognize the pains devoted in the annotation of these two orations to the
minute and thorough study of their Latinity, both in the ordinary notes and in the textual
appendices." — Saturday Review.
M. T. CICERONIS PRO P. CORNELIO SULLA
ORATIO. Edited by J. S. Reid, M.L., Litt. D. 3J. 6d.
" Mr Reid is so well known to scholars as a commentator on Cicero that a new work from him
scarcely needs any commendation of our.s. His edition of the speech Pro Sulla is fully equal in
merit to the volumes which he has already published ... It would be difficult to speak too highly
of the notes. There could be no better way of gaining an insight into the characteristics of
Cicero's style and the Latinity of his period than by making a careful study of this speech with
the aid of Mr Reid's commentary . . . Mr Reid's intimate knowledge of the minutest details of
scholarship enables him to detect and explain the slightest points of distinction between the
usages of different authors and different periods . . . The notes are followed by a valuable
appendix on the text, and another on points of orthography ; an excellent index brings the work
to a dose." — Saturday Revie^u.
M. T. CICERONIS PRO CN. PLANCIO ORATIO.
Edited by H. A. Holden, LL.D., late Fellow of Trinity College, Cam-
bridge. 4 J. f>d.
"As a book for students this edition can have few rivals. It is enriched by an excellent intro-
duction and a chronological table of the principal events of the life of CiCero ; while in its ap-
pendix, and in the notes on the text which are added, there is much of the greatest value. The
volume' is neatly got up, and is in every way commendable." — The Scotsman.

"Those students are to be deemed fortunate who have to read Cicero's lively and brilliant

in point of equipment, and which has, not without good reason, attained the honours of a

P. OVIDII NASONIS FASTORUM Liber VI. With
a Plan of Rome and Notes by A. SiDGWiCK, M.A., Tutor of Corpus Christi
College, Oxford, is. 6d.
" Mr Sidgwick's editing of the Sixth Book of Ovid's Fasti furnishes a careful and serviceable
volume for average students. It eschews 'construes' which supersede the use of the dictionary,
but gives full explanation of grammatical i:sages and historical and mythical allusions, besides
illustrating peculiarities of style, true and false derivations, and the more remarkable variations ot
the text." — Saturday Keview.
" It is eminently good and useful. . . . The Introduction is singularly clear on the astronomy of
Ovid, which is properly shown to be ignorant and confused ; there is an excellent little map of
Rome, giving just the places mentioned in the text and no more ; the notes are evidently written
by a practical schoolmaster." — The Academy.

" In an unusually succinct introduction he gives all the preliminary and collateral information
that is likely to be useful to a young student ; and, wherever we have examined his notes, we
have found them eminently practical and satisfying. . . The book may well be recommended for
careful study in school or college." — Saturday Review.
"The notes are scholarly, short, and a real help to the most elementary beginners in Latin
prose." — The Examiner.

" Much more attention is given to the literary aspect of the poem than is usually paid to it in
editions intended for the use of beginners. The introduction points out the distinction between
primitive and literary epics, explains the purpose of the poem, and gives an outline of the story."
— Saturday Revieiv.
" Mr Arthur Sidgwick's 'Vergil, Aeneid, Book XII.' is worthy of his reputation, and is dis-
tinguished by tlie same acuteness and accuracy of knowledge, appreciation of a boy's difficulties
and ingenuity and resource in meeting them, which we have on other occasions had reason to
praise in these pages." — The Academy.
"As masterly in its clearly divided preface and appendices as in the sound and independent
character of its annotations. . . . There is a great deal more in the notes than mere compilation
and suggestion. . . . No difficulty is left unnoticed or unhandled." — Saturday Revieiu.
"This edition is admirably adapted for the use of junior students, who will find in it the result
of much reading in a condensed form, and clearly expressed." — Cambridge Independent Press.

(Alexander in India.) By W. E. Heitland, M.A., Fellow and Lecturer

"Equally commendable as a genuine addition to the existing stock of school-books is
Alexander in India, a compilation from the eighth and ninth books of Q. Curtius, edited for
the Pitt Press by Messrs Heitland and Raven. . . . The work of Curtius has merits of its
own, which, in former generations, made it a favourite with English scholars, and which still
make it a popular text book in Continental schools The reputation of Mr Heitland is a
sufficient guarantee for the scholarship of the notes, which are ample without being excessive,
and the book is well furnished with all that is needful in the nature of maps, indexes, and ap-
pendices." —Academy.

and J. R. Lumby, D.D., Norrisian Professor of Divinity. Revised edition.
"js. 6d.
"To young students of English History the illustrative notes will be of great service, while
the study of the texts will be a good introduction to Mediaival Latin." — T/ie N oncon/ormist.
"In Bede's works Englishmen can go back to origines of their history, unequalled for
form and matter by any modern European nation. Prof. Mayor has done good service in ren-
dering a part of Bede's greatest work accessible to those who can read Latin with ease. He
has adorned this edition of the third and fourth books of the ' Ecclesiastical History' with that
am.izing erudition for which he is unrivalled among Englishmen and rarely equalled by Germans.
And however in'eresting and valuable the text may be, we can certainly apply to his notes
the expression, La sauce vaut tnieux que le poisscm. They are literally crammed with interest-
ing information about early English life. For though ecclesiastiral in name, Bede's history treats
of all parts of the national life, since the Church bad points of contact with all." — Examiner.

SIR THOMAS MORE'S UTOPIA. With Notes by the
Rev. J. Rawson Lumby, D.D. 3^. 6d.
"To Dr Lumby we must give praise unqualified and unstinted. He has done his work
admirably Every student of history, every politician, every social reformer, every one
interested in literary curiosities, every lover of English should buy and carefully read Dr
Lumby's edition of the 'Utopia.' We are afraid to say more lest we should be thought ex-
travagant, and our recommendation accordingly lose part of its force." — The Teacher.
" It was originally written in Latin and does not find a place on ordinary bookshelves. A very
great boon has therefore been conferred on the general English reader by the managers of the
Pitt Press Series, in the issue of a convenient little volume of Mote's Utopia not in the original
Latin, but in the quaint English Translation thereof made by Raphe Robynson, which adds a
linguistic interest to the intrinsic merit of the work. . . . All this has been edited in a most com-
plete and scholarly fashion by Dr J. R. Lumby, the Norrisian Professor of Divinity, whose name
alone is a sufficient warrant for its accuracy. It is a real addition to the modern stock of classical
English literature." — Guardian.

THALES TO CICERO, by Joseph B. Mayor, M.A., late Professor of
Moral Philosophy at King's College, London. 3J. 6d.
"Professor Mayor contributes to the Pitt Press Series A Sketch of Ancient Philosophy in
which he has endeavoured to give a general view of the philosophical systems illustrated by the
genius of the masters of metaphysicjU and ethical science from I'hales to Cicero. In the cour>e
of his sketch he takes occasion to give concise analyses of Plato's Republic, and of the Ethics and
Politics of Ari.stotle : and these abstracts will be to some readers not the least useful portions of
the book." — The Guardian.
