XXIX.—=-TRINITY COLLEGE. 
What is it that gives Trinity College 
that fuperiority which it challenges over 
the other Colleges at Cambridge? Is it 
the elegance and grandeur of its buildings, 
the great number of its members, the ex- 
cellence of its fellowthips, or the worth of 
the College livings ? No.-«It is from the 
excellent difcipline that has been eltablith- 
ed. Every thing is here open to compe- 
tition ; and all the candidates for its emo- 
luments muft undergo a very ftri& exa- 
‘mination in the various branches of litera- 
ture, It has neither propricty-fellowhhip, 
nor county-fellowhip. The refulr muft 
be good, where the rule is, Detur optimo. 
It isfomething, al, to work after the moft 
perfect models.. Trimity College could 
boaft, at tne fame time, the greateft ma- 
thematician, and one of ihe greatelt critics. 
in Europe. it enjoys, and has long en- 
joyed, one of the ablett and moft refpeéta- 
ble mathematical tutors in the univerfiry, 
Mr. Thomas Jones, and Mr. Richard Por- 
fons, who is at the headof Greek literature. 
XXX.—EPITAPH ig ST. PETER MaAN- 
CROFT’s CHURCH, 77 NORWICH, 
The following iimes are introduced as 
an example of good: verfification, for the 
time in which they were written; 
Here Richard Anguihh fleeps, for whomalyve 
Norwich and Cambridge latly feera’d to ftrive. 
Both cail’d him fon, as feemed well they 
might 5 
Both challenged ‘in his Life an equal right. 
Norwich gave birth, and taught him well to 
fee : |

Cantabrigianas : %3¢ 
Cambridge with arts adorn’d his opening age, 
Degrees and judgement in the facred page. 
Yet Norwich gains the ’vantage of the frif, 
Wohiles there he ended, where begum his. life. 
1 know not. who compofed this -Epi- 
taph. ‘The fubjeé&t of it was, Rich. An- 
guith, B.D. who was born at Norwich,

XXXLL—-MAGDALEN COLLEGE 
The members of Magdalen College have 
been long diftinguith for their attachment 
to the doétrines of the Thirty-nineArticles, 
in their literal-and grammatical fenfe. 
This charaéter is now pafling over to 
Queen’s College, under the government 
of Dr. Ifaac Milner. The Pepyfian-Li- 
brary, helonging to MagdalenCollege, con- 
tains a rich collection of old Englith books. 
Tr has this motto over it, from Macrobiu;, 
Mens cujufgue is efi Quifgue,'The mind is. 
the Man. The Latin is quaint, but the 
fentiment is an admirable motto for an, 
old library.—A. colle&tion of books is the 
foul of departed authors. 
Mr. William Farifh, a member of this 
Cojlege, and formerly mathematical tutor, 
has the merit of having eftablithed a courfe 
of very ufeful legtures, which he delivers 
himielf, After a diligent attention to the 
different manufactures of this country, he 
made models of the various machines and 
inftruments employed inthem. Tele he 
works, and exhibrts the whole procefs 
carried on in our feveral manufadctories. 
The aim of Mr. Farith is to unite theory. 
and practice, to bring philofophy from 
fchools and colleges into the concerns of 
adtive life. —This is, to deferve well of the 
CoMMUNITY. 
XXXIL—WHAT 25 @ FELLOW of a@ 
COLLEGE. 
Edmund Gurhey, B. D. was Rector of 
Edgefield, in Norfolk, formerly a Fellow 
of Bene’t College. He was a man of hu- 
mour, and ftories of him were long record- 
ed in the neighbourhood of his living. 
When he held a fellowfhip, the Mafter of ; 
the college had a defire to get pof<ifion of 
the Fellows’ garden for himfelf. The reft 
of the Fellows refigned their keys, but 
Gurney refitted both his threats and en- 
treaties; and refufed to part with his key. 
The other Fellows, faid the Matter, have 
delivered uptheir keys. Then,. Matter, 
faid Garnry, pray keep. them, and you 
and K will keep all the other Fellows out. 
Sir, continued the Mafter; am not L your 
Mafter? Granted, faid Gurney, but am 
not I your Fellow ?
