'E. W. Benson' stamped in gold on front cover, with a small oval containing the words 'Trin. Coll. Camb.' at the foot. Stamped 'Bound by Wilson & Son' on inside front cover; '8. 1920' written beneath in pencil (presumably the date of binding); note of provenance in ink at the bottom (A. C. Benson is called 'Master of Magd. Coll. Camb., as he was by the time of binding, but not at the time of the gift). A label and two letters explaining provenance are pasted to pages of the volume; the thirteen examination papers, from both E. W. Benson's unsuccessful attempt at the Trinity Fellowship examination in 1852 and his successful resit the following year, are then tipped in.

The archive contains diaries 1850-1896, school and university notebooks, later notebooks on religious matters, official papers 1853-1873, correspondence, copy correspondence [1899] and various other miscellaneous items.
