PREFACE.
It was at one time my intention to have printed
a catalogue of all the manuscripts in the various
libraries of the University, but, upon considera-
tion, I concluded that it would not be well for
a private individual to undertake the accomplish-
ment of such a work, unless it were published
under the immediate superintendence of the Uni-
versity authorities. A Catalogue of the Cambridge
Manuscripts by a Member of the University, would
be liable to imperfect criticism out of doors, as
proceeding from and sanctioned by the University
itself. I was unwilling to subject my Alma Mater
to the possibility of any attack being instituted
on the ground of not performing its undertakings
with proper effect; I was fully aware that I could
not effectually guard against such an attack; and
I have, therefore, preferred to offer the following
pages to the reader, as mere rough notes of a
322
few of the inestimable treasures, in the department
of manuscripts, which our noble and ancient
University possesses.
I beg leave to offer my respectful and grateful
thanks to the B.ev. John Lodge, the learned Libra-
rian of the University, who has always most kindly
and most liberally aided my researches among the
MSS. in the Public Library.

Papers relating to the Somers family about 1620, Sir ThomasFairfax's two memorials, genealogical schemes of divers

/ may here observe that most manuscripts of this class are very mi-
nutely and laboriously described by Dr. Nasmilh, much more so
than the nature of their contents appear to require. 1 have usu-
ally followed Mr. Hmiter's excellent analysis, except in cases wheretreatises occur which have no connexion with English history :
and I have seldom thought it expedient to notice anonymous theolo-
gical tracts and sermons, which are so numerous in these miscel-
laneous collections of the seventeenth century, unless they contain
something individually or generally of interest.

Dr. Nasmith, in his manuscript catalogue, has been at the pains of
making an analytical list of the contents of this volume, giving a
description of five hundred and sixty-eight articles. It is almost
unnecessary to observe that such mhmteness of detail, which has
been given by Dr. Nasmith in his accounts of this and other cartu-
laries in this Library, is wholly uncalledfor ; and it, would be ridi-
culous to pursue his plan in any catalogue destined to be comprisedwithin reasonable limits. The unequal manner in which Dr.
Nasmith's work has been prepared, renders this note somewhat
necessary.

SELECTIONS.
TRINITY COLLEGE.
A catalogue of the manuscripts in this library was made in
the year 1697, by Laughton, and printed in Bernard's Biblio-
theca, p. 93. Gale's collection was subsequently added, but is
also found in Bernard's general catalogue. Several original
MSS. of the celebrated poet Milton are preserved in this library,
which, together with some copybooks of Prince Henry, son of
James Lj are lions shewn to visitors. This library is particularly
rich in early English literature, and the copies of Chaucer
Lydgate, Gower, &c. are extremely valuable. A large collec-
tion of Newton's letters to Cotes, principally relating to the
publication of the second edition of the Principia, is also pre-
served in this collection.
172
ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE.
No catalogue of the MSS. in this college has ever been prin-
ted, although numerous and valuable. They require to be
arranged by some competent person. A MS. catalogue, of
little value, is in the case, and mentions a copy of Bernelius de
abaco, in two folio volumes, which however I was unable to
discover in a brief search for it about three years since. It is,
however, almost unnecessary to observe that every facility is
afforded, even under these disadvantages, to persons engaged in
archaeological researches.
CAIUS COLLEGE.
There are many valuable and curious MSS. in the library of
this college, a catalogue of which is given by Bernard. One
very curious collection of early English metrical romances,
contains an unique copy of the romance of King Athelstan. I
believe that a catalogue of these MSS. is in preparation by the
Rev. J. J. Smith, the learned tutor of this college.
CORPUS CHRISTI COLLEGE.
A good catalogue of the extremely valuable collection in the
library of this college was published by Dr. Nasmith. In point
of value and rarity, the collection may almost be compared to
the Cottonian. Much misapprehension prevails relative to the
original regulations concerning this library, the very strict rules
now preserved not being by any means coeval with the testament
of the founder. Any alteration must, however, be made with
great caution.
173
EMMANUEL COLLEGE.
A catalogue of the MSS. in this college is given by Bernard.
Here is preserved a copy of WicklifFe's translation of the bible.
SIDNEY SUSSEX COLLEGE.
A catalogue of the MSS. in this college is also given by
Bernard.
JESUS COLLEGE.
The excellent library belonging to this college has never had
justice done to it. There are several curious MSS., some of
which formerly belonged to the monastery of St. Cuthbert, at
Durham. A very curious catalogue of the books in the monas-
tery of Rievaulx, made in the fourteenth century, is also
preserved in this library. I may likewise mention a collection
of the minor poems of John Lydgate, and a Latin Chronicle
of English events from the year 104-2 to the battle of Lewes in
1264. A transcript of this chronicle is preserved in Tanners
collection in the Bodleian, No. 383.
ST. PETER'S COLLEGE.
A continuation of the Brute chronicle by Warkworth, master
of this college, in the fifteenth century, was printed by the
Camden Society, from a MS. in the college library. Bernard
has given us a catalogue of the MSS. belonging to this college.
174
PEMBROKE HALL.
Dr. James made a catalogue of the MSS. in the library
in this hall in 1600, which has been reprinted by Bernard.
Mr. Hartshorne has given copious extracts from a MS. History
of the college by Wren, formerly master.
KINGS' COLLEGE.
In this library is preserved a fine Latin psalter, written upon
vellum, about four spans long by three broad, accompanied
with musical chaunts, which was taken from the library of
Osorius, bishop of Cadiz, at the taking of that city in 1596 by
the Earl of Essex. Hentzer, in the account of his travels in
England in 1598, particularly describes this MS. as then being
in the library of this college. An unique copy of the curious
romance of William and the Werwolf, edited by Sir F. Madden
for the Roxburghe club, is preserved in this college.
TRINITY HALL.
There are very few MSS. in the library of this college.
The most important are described by Mr. Hunter, in his report
on the Cambridge libraries. A copy of the Epislolce Thomce
a Becket, and an early French translation of Boetius de Conso-
latione Philosophic, may also be mentioned.
THE PEPYSIAN.
This library belongs to Magdalen college, and a catalogue of
the few MSS. which it contains was published by Bernard.
175
Among them is a curious musical manuscript of the time of
Henry VII.
FITZWILLIAM MUSEUM.
Queen Elizabeth's Virginal Book is preserved in this Mu-
seum, together with other valuable musical manuscripts. The
Rev. Samuel Tillbrook of St. Peter's college, presented three
autograph letters of Oliver Cromwell, which have been recently-
published in the Cambridge Portfolio by the Rev. J. J. Smith.
DOWNING COLLEGE.
In this college are preserved some manuscripts relating to
Cambridge, bequeathed by Mr. Bowtell, among which is a
history of Cambridge by himself.
