Excerpt from Cambridge and Its Colleges
Trinity, has put within the reach of the writer on Cambridge a vast amount of information which, a few years ago, was practically inac cessible.' In dealing with special Colleges, a variety of sources has been consulted: the writer is especially indebted, for his short account of King's Chapel, to the evidence furnished by the late Mr G. Gilbert Scott in his Essay on t/ie. History of Englisb C'burcb are/jiteeture, and to the description of the wmdows by the present Provost; and for many details in his sketch of the history of St John's, to the Notes from Use College Records which the present Master, for many years past, has published in the College magazine, Tbe Eagle. Finally, he wishes to express gratitude to the publishers for their permission to him to re-write the book, and for their patience with the unavoidable delay to which its completion, amid the pres sure of much work of a different kind, has been subjected; to Mr C. E. Sayle, of St John's College and the University Library, who has kindly read through the proofs and furnished valuable suggestions; and to others, especially to Dr T. A. Walker of Peterhouse, for information with regard to individual Colleges. A. H. T.
