OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITIES. 
In connection with these views of American Colleges and 
Universities, the collector of historical china will find it inter- 
esting to secure some specimens of the fine and also rare 
views of Oxford and Cambridge Universities. A whole set 
by J. & W. Ridgway is found in dark blue with views of these 
famous Colleges, different views being used on the different 
size plates, platters and dishes. From a decorative stand- 
point this English set by Ridgway is far superior to his 
American set, with its uninteresting border of rose medal- 
lions and its numerous views of Almshouses and Hospitals 
sarcastically called " Beauties of America." 
The views so far known to us are : 
All Souls' College and St. Mary's Church, Oxford. 
Caius College, Cambridge. 
Christ Church, Oxford. 
Downing College, Cambridge. 
King's College, Cambridge. 
Library of Trinity College, Cambridge.

Radcliffe Library, Oxford. 
Senate House, Cambridge. 
Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge.
