Times. — “ We are glad to welcome the first two volumes of what promises to 
be an excellent Series of College Histories. . . . Well printed, handy and con- 
venient in form, and hound in the dark or light blue of either University, these 
small volumes have everything external in their favour. As to their matter, all 
are to be entrusted to competent men, who, if they follow in the steps of the 
first two writers, will produce records full of interest to everybody who cares 
for our old Universities.” 
E ach volume will be written by someone officially connected 
with the College of which it treats, or at least by some 
member of that College who is specially qualified for the 
task. It will contain (i.) A history of the College from its founda- 
tion ; (ii.) An account and history of its buildings ; (iii.) Notices 
of the connection of the College with any important social or 
religious events ; (iv.) A list of the chief benefactions made to 
the College ; (v.) Some particulars of the contents of the College 
Library ; (vi.) An account of the College plate, windows, and 
other accessories ; (vii.) A chapter upon the best known and other 
notable but less well-known members of the College. 
Each volume will be produced in crown octavo, in a good 
clear type, and will contain from 200 to 250 pages (except two 
or three volumes which will be thicker). The illustrations will 
consist of full-page plates containing reproductions of old views of 
the Colleges and modern views of the buildings, grounds, etc.
