LETTER XXVI. 



THOUGH the evidences and documents of the Priory 

 and parish of Selborne are now at an end, yet, as the 

 author has still several things to say respecting the 

 present state of that convent and its Grange, and other 

 matters, he does not see how he can acquit himself of 

 the subject without trespassing again on the patience 

 of the reader by adding one supplementary letter. 



No sooner did the Priory (perhaps much out of repair 

 at the time) become an appendage to the college, but it 

 must at once have tended to swift decay. Magdalen 

 College wanted now only two chambers for the chantry 

 priest and his assistant; and therefore had no occasion 

 for the hall, dormitory, and other spacious apartments
