MEMOIR. XXlll 



To return to his works : — 



Flora of Cambridgeshire. London, 1860, 12°. 



Ancient Gamhridgeshire : or, an attempt to trace Roman 

 and other ancient roads that passed through the county of 

 Cambridge; with a record of the places where Roman coins 

 and other remains have been found. Cambr. xVnt. Soc. Publica- 

 tions, octavo series. No. 3, 1851. Sec. ed. much enlarged, 1883, 

 pp. viii, 116, 8vo. 



History of the Infirmary and Chapel of the Hospital and 

 College of St John the Evangelist at Cambridge. Carabr. Ant. 

 Soc. 1874, 8vo. He was not yet a Fellow, and it may be 

 doubted whether any resident Fellow could have enriched us 

 with such a record of the thirteenth century buildings. He like- 

 wise had a hand in the " Architectural History of Cambridge," 

 by Professor Willis and J. W. Clark. 



Not without a weary chase could one overtake all his fugitive 

 articles; see meanwhile the Catalogue of Scientific Papers 

 (1800 — 1863). Compiled and published by the Royal Society 

 of London. London, 1867, 4to. Vol. i pp. 136—139, one 

 hundred and six numbers.^^ Vol vil 1877 (1864—1873), p. 62, 

 twenty-two.24 Vol IX 1891 (1874—1883), p. 91, four. 



In the Catalogue of MSS. in the Cambridge University 

 Library, edited first by C. Hardwick, then by H. R. Luard, 

 Cardale Babington undertook the heraldic and monastic cartu- 

 laries ; biit lack of mediaeval scholarship made this the least 

 successful of his works. After the third volume he made way 

 for George Williams and Thomas Bendyshe. 



Two only now (1895) remain (Sir H. E, L. Dryden and 

 James Heywood) of the builders of the Cambr. Ant. Soc. (March 

 1840). In March 1843, Babington was chosen Treasurer, and 

 long held the Society together. Many and many a meeting I 

 have attended, from 1853 onwards, in which Geo. E. Corrie, 

 George Williams, C. H. Cooper, H. R. Luard, Churchill and 

 Cardale Babington, F. J. A. Hort, Henry Bradshaw, W. G. 

 Searle, Thomas Brocklebank, John Rigg, T. G. Bonney, E. Ven- 

 tris, or some of them, stood for the whole body. Papers of 

 sterling worth were read at these small musters, and treasure
