Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Remarks and Collections, Vol. 8 The three years comprised in the present volume (Sept., 1722 - August, 1725) are not important ones in Hearne´s life, but his Diary fully keeps up its literary and historical interest. There is less about coins, and fewer extracts from books, and fewer dissertations on antiquarian points. But the obituary notices of friends and foes in Oxford and elsewhere, and the current gossip of the University and City are very well represented. The deaths which most affected Hearne were those of John Bridges, his correspondent, on March 16, 1724, Hilkiah Bedford on Nov. 25, 1724, and before them that of his aged father, George Hearne, parish clerk of White Waltham near Maidenhead, who died after a long period of decrepitude on Oct. 18, 1723. It appears that Hearne knew nothing of the event till two days after the funeral! Hearne´s literary activity was well kept up, for Heming´s Chartulary of Worcester was published in 1723, Robert of Gloucester´s Chronicle in 1724, and Langtoft´s Chronicle in 1725, but they are not suffered to overload the Diary as in some former years. There were several persons yet living in Oxford who well remembered the Civil War, and Hearne´s conversations with them will be found at pp. 173, 243, 374. The subject which most agitated the University was probably the difficulties of University College over the election of Thomas Cockman as Master in Dec., 1722. Among smaller matters of interest are notes on the All Souls Mallard (p. 35), wells in Oxford (pp. 135, 164), Joe Pullen´s tree (p. 174), the royal deed instituting the Regius Professorship of Modern History (p. 218), and All Souls Library (pp. 222, 225). There is also a reminiscence of the Roman Catholic Dean of Christ Church in his old age (p. 343); and much more to which the Index will guide the reader, unless he wisely prefers to go straight through the volume.
