Chancellor, on December 3, 1616, at

LI.BISHOP MONTECUTE’S LETTER 
to the VICK CHANCELLOR. 
“* To the Right Worfbipful Dr.Hill, Mafter 
of Catharine Hall, and Vice Chancellor of 
Cambridge. 
*¢ GOOD MR. VICE-CHANCELLOR, 
*¢ T have fent you his Majefty’s hand 
to his own directions. I think you have 
no precedent, that ever a king, firft with 
his own mouth, then with his own hand, 
gave fuch direétions; and therefore you 
fhall do well to keep that writing curiouf. 
ly, and the dire&tions religioufly, and to 
give his Majefty a good account of them 
carefully, which I pray God you may ; 
and fo, with my love to yourfelf, and the 
reft of the Heads, I commit you to God. 
From court this 12th day of Dec. 1616. 
«¢ Your very loving friend, 
6¢ James WINTON.” 
Three years before this the monarch, 
as already has been fhewn, prefented the 
univerfity with the Latin edition of his 
own works, tranflated from the Englith 
edition of this loving Bifhop. Lo! now 
the generous King, Ille ego, prefents it 
with thofe treafures of wifdom, his three 
darling articles. In the former cafe, he 
feems to have acted in the charaster of the 
great {choolmatter of his realms,as he ufed 
to cail himfelf; in the latter, he doubt- 
lefs thought himfelf the Solomon of the 
age, as he was denominated by his flatte- 
rers.

LII..—MR. KENDAL’S LINES 0% KING 
LEAR, as performed by GARRICK and 
BARRY. 
It has been hinted as an omiffion, 
not to have mentioned the name of the au- 
thor of the lines on Garrick. It was Mr. 
Kendall, of fPeter-houfe. It has alfo 
been hinted, that the lines were not accu- 
rately given. I therefore give them in 
another form, and the reader may take 
which he pleafes: 
The town has found out different ways 
To praife its different Lears: 
To Barry it gives loud huzzas, 
To Garrick only tears. 
LIV.—The ORDERS of the SYNDIC. 
A remark was made in a former num- 
ber on the ftriétnefs lately enforced by 
the fyndics, in regard to the ufe of books 
in the Public Library, and, it may 
be thought, in language rather fevere. 
The remark, however, was but a mere 
matter of ftatement, and, fo far as it 
went, was certainly accurate. The two 
orders of the fyndics, and the reafons for 
paffing them, fhall be now brought’ for- 
ward ; fo will the whole truth be knowin 3 
the public too will be able to form its own 
judgment, and the writer, it is hoped, will 
be acquitted of judging with illiberality. 
ORDERS for the LIBRARY.—Made at 2 
Meeting of the Syndics, March 31, 1798. 
That all printed books in the claffes, 
that are locked up, which are taken out by 
theViceChancellor or his order,be returned 
before the expiration of his office, under 
the ufual penalties, to be paid by the per- 
fon or perfons to whom they are lent, or, 
in cafe of their failing to pay, by the Vice 
Chancellor. 
That no manvfcript whatever be taken 
out of the library, without a grace for its 
removal being obtained from the fenate. 
ORDERS.—Made at a Meeting of the Syne 
dics, March 22, 1800. 
That no perfon be allowed to have in 
his poffeffion, at one time, more than ten 
volumes belonging to the Public Library. 
That the Vice Chancellor and the Li- 
brarians be empowered to difpenfe with 
the preceding order in any particular cafe, 
if they fhall be unanimoufly of opinion, 
that {ufficient reafons have been affigned 
for fuch difpenfation. 
That fuch difpenf{ation continue in force 
no longer than to the end of the quarter 
in which it fhall be granted; but, upon
