SHORT HISTORICAL NOTICES OF THE MORE EMINENT MEMBERS BY DOUGLAS MACLEANE, M.A. SOMETIME FELLOW, LECTURER, AND CHAPLAIN FORMERLY KING CHARLES THE FIRST'S SCHOLAR; RECTOR OF CODFORD ST. PETER, WILTS WITH ILLUSTRATIONS Oxford PRINTED FOR THE OXFORD HISTORICAL SOCIETY AT THE CLARENDON PRESS 'As if there were sought in Knowledge a Couch whereon to rest a searching and restless spirit; or a Terras, for a wandering and variable mind to walk up and down with a fair prospect; or a Tower of state, for a proud mind to raise itself upon; or a Fort or commanding Ground, for strife and contention; or a Shop, for profit or sale; and not a rich Storehouse, for the glory of the Creator and the relief of Man's estate.' (BACON, Advancement of Learning.) |
