The Historical Register of the University of Cambridge to the
Year 1910. Edited by J. R. Tanner. (Cambridge University Press. 12s. 6d. net.)—This new supplement to the University Calendar, which has been lightened of historical matter, is he perfunctory mass of class-lists, but a very solid and scholarly piece of research. Dr. Tanner and his helpers have put the history of the University offices and examinations on a new and sectire basis. The most notable and novel feature is the set of early lists giving the " Order of Seniority " in nearly every year from 1499 to 1747, after which the Tripes lists begin, though, as the editor says, the Tripes may be dated back to 1710-11. These early lists include many famous names, such as Latimer, Cranmer, Ridley, AscharreParker, Spenser, George Herbert, and Milton, and Dr. Tanner's labour in recovering and editing the lists has been well spent.
