THE UNIVERSITY OF STAMFORD.
[TO TEE EDITOR OF THE " SPBOTA.TOR.1
5m,—Anthony Wood, in his "History of the University of -Oxford," gives an account of the endeavour that was made to found a University at, Stamford. I cannot quote what he says, as I have not the book on my shelves.
In Harrod's "Antiquities of Stamford," p. 50, some facts are mentioned concerning the matter. I think you will also find details in Peck's " Antiquarian Annals of Stamford."
The oath which members of the University of Oxford had to take is given in Anstey's " Munimenta Academics," ii., 375. It runs thus:—
" Tu jurabis quod non leges nee audios Stamfordiss, tanquana in 17niversitate studio ant Collegio generali."
—I am, Sir, &c., Bottesford Manor, Brigg, December 27. EDWARD PEACOCK.
[*** Ennsm.—In Professor Ramsay's letter in last week's issue, line 12, let col., p. 1626, for "conquer" read " answer ; " line 39, 2nd col., for "discourser" read "discoverer."]
