and preached Burkitt's fermon. Hc, 
however, appeared to’ great difadvantage 
afier Burkitr; fcr he had a voice rough

SIDNEY, 
Some time ago, the mode of appointing 
fellows, or, atleatt, of examining candidet:s 
for fome particular fellowhips, was made 
the fubjeét of coutroverfy in a certain col - 
leze, and the difpute furnifhed matter for 
mnuch converfation in the univerfty, One 
day, when this affair was difcufed in a 
mixed company, a gentleman prelent ob- 
ferved, that if a certain way of pioceed- 
ing, to which he had been cbjecting, was 
adopted, he could not conceive what cri- 
terion there would be left of merit.— 
«© An ill terate and worthiefg, man (conti- 
nued he) may be cholen fellow, while a 
man of learning and werth may: be fet 
afide.” A gentleman of miucli learning 
and humour, who was of the party, (Dr. 
Coulthurf) replied, ¢* Toere is nothing 
new jn this matter,” Ai 
*¢ Worth makes the man, and want of it the 
fellow.” Pope.

Mr. Cole, when an undergraduate, was 
of Clare Hall: he gives, therefore, an ac- 
count of this college, and its chapel. . OF 
the library he obferyes as follows : This 
library is the mof elegant of any in the 
univerfity, being a large well-proportioned 
room, @ la moderne, with the books rang- 
ed all around, and not in claffes,as in mot 
of the reft of the libraries in ether col- 
leges. ITtis exceedingly well filled with 
a choice colleétion of valuable. books ; 
among the reit one of the few of Pope Six-

is reckoned of great value.’’ This isthe 
new library : the old drbrary. contains a 
good collection of Italian aad Spanith au- 
tong. Nie \ 
Of the celebrated Latin comedy of Jgue- 
ramus, he obferves, ‘* that the comedy of 
Ignoramus, {uppoled to be made by Mr. 
Ruggle, of Clare Hall,is but a tranflation 
of an Italian comedy of Baptifta Porta, 
entitled Yrapularlio, ax may be feen by the 
comedy itfelf ia Clare Hall Library, with

This is fcarcely the proper place to add, 
“‘ that about the beginning of the year 
1611, (1 quote from Hawkins’s edition

the Mayor of the Town anid the Corpos 
ration, on the queftion which of the two, 
the Vice-chancellor of the Univerfity, or
