the Trinity registers from 1548, when the College was founded by Henry VIII. The pious task has been well dew ; lists of the College officers are given and there is a general index of great magnitude. This first volume contains also a list of the members of King's Hall, patiently extracted from State records by Mr. A. E. Stamp. For King's Hall was founded by. Edward IIL in 1337, just as he was embarking on the Hundred Years' War, and remained under Royal control till 1548, when its last Warden, John Redman, became the first Master of Trinity. We note that John Fisher, one of the Children of the Chapel Royal, was nominated as a scholar in 1417, "although he is not yet fully informed in his grammar"—an early case of exemption from the "Little Go." Fisher ill repaid the Royal favour, for he left fifteen years later without taking a degree.—The Calendar of University College, London, for 1016-17 (Taylor and Francis, 2e. Gd.), has just been issued, and shows that the institution, which took a new lease of life on its incor- poration with the University in 1907, is doing excellent work, despite the war.
