Album of photographs, mostly of Trinity College
Add. MS a/725/1 · Item · c 1903-1911
Part of Additional Manuscripts a

Photographs in sepia and in black and white. Views of Trinity include Great Court, the fountain, the Master's Lodge, King Edward's Gate, a view through gateways in Whewell's Court, and Nevile's Gate with Trinity Lane beyond. There is also a photograph of Trinity Lane running south towards the Old Schools with King's College Chapel behind, probably taken from V. H. Mottram's room in Staircase P, Great Court; it is this room which is likely shown in the single interior shot of the album. A photograph of the alcoves in the tribunal at the west wall of the Hall, each occupied by a figure in cap and gown, and a view of the river and the tower of St John's College chapel from North Paddock complete the images from Trinity; there is also a view labelled 'Coe Fen' which is mounted on two layers of card.

Park Lodge, Wimbledon, S.W.—Quotes from Duff’s English Provincial Painters, in illustration of a phrase in Nashe.

Dear McKerrow

Concerning tittle tittle est amen {1} cf. “The signatures of this book are curious, for the printer, having come to the end of his first alphabet, continued with contractions and then signed two more sheets one with ‘est’ the other with ‘amen’.” Gordon Duff, Eng. Prov. Printers, p. 37. {2} Of course this only shows that est was commonly regarded as part of the criss cross row. I imagine that it must have originally been one of the contractions (first ÷ later ē) & that when this grew obsolete the word est still retained its place.

Formerly inserted between pp. 174 and 175 of McKerrow’s own copy of the Works of Nashe, vol. iv (Adv. c. 25. 75) , though the note it refers to is on a different page (see below).

{1} The reference is to the sentence beginning ‘I cannot explain what “tittle” means’ in the Works of Nashe, vol. iv, p. 205 (a note on a phrase in The Terrors of the Night, vol. i, p. 267, line 28). In the copy from which this letter was removed McKerrow has written in the margin at this point: ‘Cf also Duff. Eng. Prov. Printers p. 37 (W.W.G.)’. A similar phrase occurs in Have with You to Saffron-Walden (vol. iii, p. 45, line 36).

{2} E. Gordon Duff, The English Provincial Printers, Stationers and Bookbinders to 1557 (1912). The sentence is slightly misquoted.

Albany - DDB agrees to aid EE in supplying information to WW on education in the city of New York: common schools have no direct or systematic religious teaching - they have no sect whose tenets are recognised by law. He has read WW's book on Morality [The Elements of Morality Including Polity, 2 vols., 1845] with 'infinite satisfaction' and does not 'doubt that it is doing great good in this country': DDB has been lecturing on WW's views 'in regard to Polity, and the relation of the state to moral culture and progress. I want our people to learn that there is something more in the state than has originated in their wisdom or been created by their power'. WW is clearly aware that his idea of education and the relations of church and state would not fit the US: 'the religious education of the people is pretty successfully cared for with us, though the state has so little to do with the matter directly'.
