Book excerpt: Excerpt from The University of Cambridge: From the Royal Injunctions of 1535, to the Accession of Charles the First My dear Sandys, The period devoted to the production of this volume has been coincident, for the most part, with your tenure of the office of Public Orator. During the last eight years it has, from time to time, devolved upon you to recall to our recollection the achievements of not a few of our illustrious living, while it has been my endeavour to illustrate the careers of many of our memorable dead. I can scarcely venture to hope that my efforts will appear to have been attended with success in any degree comparable to your own; but when I remember that I was, in the first instance, encouraged and aided in the prosecution of my task by one of your many distinguished predecessors, - the Orator of our undergraduate days, - I feel that there is no one to whom I can more fitly dedicate the following pages than to one who, while ably filling the same office, has constantly aided me with like sympathy and encouragement.
