Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the College of St. John the Evangelist, Cambridge, Vol. 1 In Thomas Baker´s preface to The funeral Sermon of Margaret, Countess of Richmond and Derby, Lond. 1708, pp. lv, lvi, we read: ´Having open´d the Foundation, I shall reserve the Account of its Growth and Progress to a larger Design, which possibly may one day see the Light, or if it should not (as there are some Arcana Collegii in every Society, not so proper to be made publick) I will either leave it to the Society, or in such hands, as being above mean and little Ends, I am well assured, will never prostitute it to Mercenary Designs. From thence will appear, how from such small Beginnings, in a few Years, by good Conduct and prudent Management of a faithful Executor and liberal Benefactor, as. well as of a careful, active Master, I do not mean Mr. Percy, it grew, or rather run up, almost to the present height wherein it stands; and it will afford a different View of Things, from what we have hitherto had.
