A volume of verse anthems by Blow, Clarke, Croft, Gibbons, Greene, Humfrey, Nares, Tudway, Turner, Weldon, and Wise, with two anthems by unidentified composers, and a trio sonata by Corelli.

An index pasted to the inside front cover has been written in a variety of hands, and lists some of the anthems in a different order and pagination. The paper is uniform, with 12 staves to a page. There appear to have been four principal copyists, professional or expert hands.

My dear Clemence,

I enclose:—

A letter from Basil,
Kate’s letter to you,
Two letters from A. Parker to Laurence.

I will fall in with either Kate’s scheme or Basil’s, if the rest of you can agree on either. For my own part I should prefer to do as A. Parker suggests, and let things continue on as at present till Aunt Kate’s death or at anyrate till the £150 in hand is exhausted. When either of those events arrives, it is to be hoped and expected that we shall all be either dead or richer than now. But I will not oppose any solution which finds favour with the rest of you; and I can quite well pay either £93.15.0 or £125; only, as I have just spent £70 on my new book (a sum which the sale of the whole edition will not bring in), and may want to spend another similar sum before two years are out, and am contributing by instalments of £20 a special subscription of £100 to the College, and have indulged in the luxury of an assistant, who costs £50, and have been rather extravagant in the matter of foreign travel,—it would reduce my balance at the bankers below the comfortable margin which would enable me to flee to the continent at any moment with a year’s income in my pockets, or lend a hundred or two at a moment’s notice to a friend who might want it. I don’t know whether the way Basil proposes to dispose of your money has your sanction.

Your affectionate brother
A. E. Housman.

Dear McKerrow,

Many thanks for your second letter, dated 25 Sept., which I must really send you a line now to acknowledge.

The ‘Spartania’ in Textor’s Officina {1} may very well be the original & correct form of Greene’s ‘Spattania’. {2} But if no account of the plant so called is given, one can be certain of nothing. We are very much obliged to you for your search, although this time it has drawn blank.—Are any Italian books included in those you consult? After French & Latin, this is, I suppose, the next language likely to have afforded material to an Elizabethan.

As to Holland, the modern use of u, v, j & i is followed in his ‘Livy’, 1600. {3} I had a note to this effect, which I have just been verifying in the Bodleian. Whether it is followed through-out the volume consistently, I don’t pretend to say.—I have also an old note, which I have not verified, that in his ‘Camden’ 1610, {4} both the old & the modern practices are followed.

In the forthcoming number of the Mod. Lang. Review there are some observations of mine, called forth by a note on ‘Backare’ in the July number. {5}

Please accept my hearty thanks for the kind expressions of sympathy in your letter, & believe me

very sincerely yours
Walter Worrall

This letter was written on black-edged paper, in token of the death of the writer’s father, the artist Joseph Edward Worrall, who had died on 7 September. It was formerly inserted in an off-print of McKerrow’s article ‘Some Notes on the Letters i, j, u and v in Sixteenth Century Printing’, reprinted from The Library, 3rd series, i. 239–59 (July 1910) (Adv. c. 25. 80). At the foot of p. 21 of this offprint (corresponding to p. 251 in The Library) McKerrow has written the following note, derived from the present letter: ‘The modern usage is also found in Holland’s Livy 1600—also in Pliny—? in Camden 1610 (W. Worrall)’.

{1} Joannes Ravisius Textor (Jean Tixier de Ravisi), Officina partim historiis partim poeticis referta disciplinis (1520, etc.), a Latin commonplace book, frequently reprinted.

{2} Worrall had evidently consulted McKerrow in connection with the article on this word for the New English Dictionary; see vol. ix, part i (1919). The dictionary’s earliest citation of the word is from Greene’s Mamillia (Works, ed. Grosart, ii. 23). Its origin is obscure.

{3} Titus Livius, The Romane History … Also, the Breviaries of L. Florus, tr. Philemon Holland (1600) (STC 16613).

{4} William Camden, Britain, or, A Chorographicall Description of England, Scotland, and Ireland, tr. Philemon Holland (1610) (STC 4509).

{5} The note was submitted by Percy W. Long (Modern Language Review, vii. 373). Worrall’s response appeared in the October number (ibid., 544–5).

5–X–1911.

Dear Mr McKerrow,

Messrs Sidgwick and Jackson sent me last night copies of your Greenes Newes and Weever’s Epigrams, and I thank you for them. I’ve been hunting about to find a repetition, with additions, of that story re Margery and her mother, told in Greenes Newes, p. 35, ll. 8–19, but have lost the trail for the moment, although it is not long since I read it. But it will come to me some time, and may prove to be of some use. I have an idea now it is to be found in “Apophthegms deliv-ered at severall times and upon severall occasions by K. James, King Charles, the Marquess of Worcester, Francis Lord Bacon, and Sir Thomas More,” a work published in 1658. I had to examine the work a little while ago for Mr Bullen, and found it to be a fraudulent and wretched piece of hack-work, with very little in it that was new. If you are going to publish any more of those old pamphlets, I hope you will let me have proofs, not because I wish to be mentioned in your reprints, but because I like to keep my hand in and my memory from getting rusty. I’d much rather you did not mention my name in your notes, for they are not worth such recognition; and it is a real pleasure for me to find that sometimes what I notice is of some little use.

Yours very truly
Charles Crawford

Trin Coll.
Monday

Sir,

I beg to inform you that you have been elected a member of the Trinity Chess Club subject to the condition imposed by the laws of the club, that every candidate for admission before becoming an actual member, must win one out of three games played with members at a club meeting. The last meeting for the present term will take place at Mr Bone's rooms, Trinity College, on Wednesday evening next.

I am,
Your obedient servant
Alfred L Galabin
Treasurer of Trinity Chess Club

The letter is undated, but since it was probably received by the person who owned the accompanying term-cards, it presumably preceded them, and the term mentioned in it is most likely to be Michaelmas 1867.

The nine letters reflect the two men's shared interest in mathematics and their closer ties of friendship: the discussions of mathematical problems and recent work appear in letters with private nicknames: Brer B'ar and Wicked Will (Johnson) and Brer Crawfish and Bullfrog (Glaisher). Glaisher also shares his opinions on international copyright, the cost of books used by schools, his work editing papers, his preferred work pattern. He writes a good deal about Trinity College life and politics, noting with pleasure the number of Trinity men in the Cabinet, and provides an assessment of Prince Albert Victor at Trinity ("I only hate him when he picks his teeth"). In one 30 page letter dated 25 October 1888 he writes candidly about the internal politics surrounding the election of a Trinity representative to the University Council, and has much to say about certain members of the Trinity College Fellowship: H. M. Taylor, A. R. Forsyth, Arthur Cayley, Henry Jackson, James Ward, J. N. Langley, and the Master H. M. Butler. Accompanying the letters is a note dated 21 Feb. 1891 recording a divided vote on Tutorial accounts which appears to have been separated from an explanatory letter.

Labelled as 'Press photo' and dated on back by Bertha Wright. Reference number '9496' in pencil.

Old Choristers Association Constitution and directory of Old Choristers from 1862 to 1932. Three copies, one of which has a note recording the number dead, abroad, and resident in England.

Entitled "List of Portraits of Trinity Men in the College Library" giving the size of the plate, the size of the paper, the painter's name and/or the engraver's name, with annotations by Lord Adrian recording additions to the list and presence of some of the works in the Combination Room.

Letter, 6 Mar. 1978, from Bose to King. Discusses his old age and bad health; was a joy hearing from King, whom he remembers well. Memories of others, such as Rose, and those who have now died, like Azhar Ali, D. Raja Ram and S. Das Gupta. Would be glad to pass on his reminiscences of Wittgenstein. 'He was a very good friend to me, but I cannot say he succeeded in teaching me much philosophy'. Adds postscript asking if King is in touch with Con Drury and A. R. M. Murray, who both knew Wittgenstein.

Incomplete photocopy of letter, 5 Apr. 1978, from Bose to King. Praises King's plan of collaborating with Desmond Lee to publish their notes of Wittgenstein's lectures of 1930-1932. Fears he will be disappointed in what Bose can contribute. Answers questions specifically put to him: the dates of his time at Cambridge, and attendance at Wittgenstein's lectures; can only remember [Con] Drury and Professor Moore specifically among regular attendants; cannot answer the third question; did not take notes of the lectures, and now does not have any memory of the contents. General recollections of Wittgenstein: learnt 'very little' from him as a philosopher, but he was a good friend. Discussion of a Sanskrit word for friend, 'suhrid'. Wittgenstein obtained a sleeping drug for Bose from Switzerland when he was suffering from insomnia, and used to meet him out of each of his morning Part II exams, go for lunch with him, then walk him back for the afternoon paper. His first encounter with Wittgenstein was at a meeting of the Moral Science Club in the Lent Term of 1929 at which Bose read a paper on the nature of moral judgement and Wittgenstein asked several questions. Sometimes they would go for walks together, sometimes visit each other (Wittgenstein was at the time living in rooms in Maurice Dobb's house). Anecdote about Braithwaite asking Wittgenstein what title he wished to give his lectures, to which Wittgenstein answered, 'The subject of the lectures would be philosophy. What else can be the title of the lectures but Philosophy'.
