A list which would seem to indicate a respectable 

 imount of scholarship in a boy of eighteen. 



On December 17th, 1739, he was admitted a 

 Commoner of Oriel College, Oxford, but does not 

 3eem to have resided till April, 1740, when certain 

 "cloaths," in the shape of sheets, etc., were sent to 

 Oxford. On November 18th, 1740, he paid, how- 

 3ver, university fees ** for a whole year to November 

 18," and at this date he paid his "caution money" 

 [£8), bought a gown, paid £4 5s. 7d. for "thirds of 

 my room," i.e. for its furniture, which he supple- 

 mented with '* chairs of Mr. Bentham," his tutor 

 No record is kept of the rooms occupied by under- 

 graduates ; but probably his rooms were in the front 

 [quadrangle at Oriel, since there is mention of the 

 letting of "the little room belonging to my chamber 

 bo Mr. Andrews servitor for 105. a year," the rooms 

 in the inner quadrangle not having two bedrooms. 

 There are numerous entries of purchases of books, 

 some of them being of a religious character ; but 

 entries of the purchase of gun flints, a " shot- 

 charger and powderhorn," " pair of spurs," " a day's 

 ride," "to the music club," and on one occasion 

 " boat hire," show that his life was not an absolutely 

 ascetic one.
