Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Alumni Cantabrigienses, Vol. 2: A Biographical List of All Known Students, Graduates and Holders of Office at the University of Cambridge, From the Earliest Times to 1900; Part I, From the Earliest Times to 1751; Dabbs-Juxton
IS Volume is of course continued on exactly the same lines as Volume I. But ders will find that it is appreciably fuller, both in respect of the proportion of names which we have succeeded in identifying, and of the amount of information furnished as to careers. This is due partly to the even more generous help accorded us by those to whom we have already expressed our indebtedness in the preface to Volume I and partly to the considerable access of new helpers which the publication of that volume has brought us. Amongst the latter we must particularly mention the following: Mr E. Axon of Buxton, well known for his extensive investigations into the history of Lancashire and Cheshire families; the Rev. A. G. Kealy, late chaplain r.n., of Maltby, Yorkshire, who has opened up for us an entirely new source of information, viz. That of former chaplains in the Royal Navy; the Very Rev. B. Zimmerman, Prior of the Carmelites, who has given us much that is new about early members of his Order; the Rev. E. A. Irons, Rector of North Luffenham, has added many facts to our Northamptonshire names; the Rev. G. Montagu Benton, Vicar of Fingringhoe, has supplied much help in the task of identifying incumbents in Essex; to the Rev. Harold Smith, D.D., Principal of St John's Hall, Highbury, we are indebted for assistance in assigning Institutions and Ordinations during the Interregnum period. We much regret that by an unaccountable oversight the name of our principal Lincolnshire helper was omitted in Volume I, viz. The Rev. Canon E. Foster, Rector of Timberland. It was to him that we owe most of the Lincoln ordinations, as well as a mass of information regarding early institutions in that county.
Readers are reminded that Volume IV of this work will contain an extensive Appendix recording additions and corrections received as the first three Volumes go through the press. We shall therefore be glad if they will let us have all that they can supply In time for insertion in that Volume, which it is hoped will be published at the end of next year.
