771e Registers of Wadham College. Part II., 1719-1871. Edited, with
Biographical Notes, by the Rev. Robert Barlow Gardiner, M.A. (Bell and Sons.)—The little that can be said of a volume of this kind cannot possibly be an adequate acknowledgment of the useful labour that has been spent upon it. Mr. Gardiner traces as far as possible the subsequent history af the persons who have entered at Wadham, whether as Com- moners or Scholars, and is successful in bringing together a con- siderable amount of information by which the historians and genealogists of the future will find their labours lightened. A supplement gives additions to Part I., additions and corrections to Part II. We may remark that Mr. Baring's benefactions to Hertford College greatly exceeded £100,000. That sum would not go far in providing for its Fellowships and Scholarships.
