This unpretendi-ng work of his will serve as a solid and necessary basis for any future historian of the Library. But even this only brings out into more vivid distinctness the melancholy scantiness of our materials for anything which could be dignified with the title of 'annals of the Cambridge University Library.'

Excerpt from The University Library: Papers Contributed to the Cambridge University Gazette, 1869
A reprint of the slight sketch of the history of the Univer sity Library contributed to the Cambridge Universz'gr gazettef in February and March, 1869, has been so often asked for, that I have obtained leave to reproduce it. It is not what I should write now; but, seeing that it has been quoted and referred to by more than one writer, there is a certain con venience in having a verbatim reprint of what is extremely troublesome to consult, and almost impossible to procure, in its original condition. Where there are any positive errors in fact, I have made the necessary correction in a foot-note enclosed within brackets; otherwise I have made no altera tions. The account of the several rooms, in which the Library was contained in the early periods of its history, is, I am aware, more or less inaccurate; but I must leave this to be set right when Mr. J. W. Clark has brought out Professor Willis's exhaustive work on our University and College buildings.
