Additions and Corrections . xiv Catalogue of Printed Books and Papers . 1 Appendix : I. Manuscripts . 280 II. Prints and Drawings . 282 PREFACE THE collection here catalogued was bequeathed to the University by John Willis Clark, M.A., Registrary, formerly Fellow of Trinity College, in the following terms : "I bequeath to the Chancellor, Masters and Scholars of the Uni- versity of Cambridge, to be placed in the University Library, all my books, pamphlets, manuscripts and collections of views and photographs relating to the Town, County, Colleges, or University of Cambridge, or to the University of Oxford, except such views as may be found framed and glazed and hanging on the walls of my house at the time of my decease, together with the manuscript of the Architectural History of Cambridge by the late Professor Willis, his notes and lecture diagrams, and the quarto volumes of extracts from College Account Books and other documents made by myself. And I wish that the Librarian shall be in no way fettered as regards the distribution of this collection (which I do not desire kept separate unless perfectly con- venient), and that if any items of such collection shall be duplicates of works already in the Library the said Librarian shall be at liberty to sell or exchange them as he thinks proper. And I declare that notwithstanding the circumstance that these books, pamphlets and manuscripts are all recorded in a manuscript catalogue, in two volumes folio, it shall be in the absolute discretion ot" my Executors to determine the items which pass under this Bequest whether so recorded or not." {Cambridge University Reporter, 29 November 1910.) It was accepted by Grace of the Senate, 3 December 19 10 (Reporter^ 6 December 19 10). The collection consists of upwards of ten thousand books, pamphlets, and pieces, relating for the most part to the University, and to a less extent to the Town and County, of ' X PREFACE Cambridge. Included, however, are a certain number of books which have no direct connection with Cambridge, e.g. books by Cambridge men on subjects unconnected with Cambridge, and books about other Universities, and about University education. Mr Clark's interest in Cambridge literature began about the year i860, when, at the suggestion of Dr Luard, he resolved to collect the long series of tracts issued in connection with Dr Richard Bentley's quarrels with Trinity College, and with his various other activities and controversies. Very soon, however, he became so much interested in his task that he enlarged his plan, and set about collecting Cambridge literature of all periods and upon every subject. As is well known he was specially interested in College architecture, and in tracing the growth of the collegiate system. This explains the presence of works, particularly a series of books about Oxford colleges, and another series relating to Eton, which at first sight seem to have no proper place in a Cambridge collection. The principal sources of the collection were these : (i) An important Catalogue of tracts, etc.^ relating to Cambridgeshire was issued by A. R. Smith, of Soho Square, in 1878, and from this Mr Clark bought extensively. (2) The Rev. Stephen Parkinson, Fellow of St John's College (B. A. 1 845, M.A. 1 848), was in the habit of preserving all Cambridge papers which came into his hands ; his collection was acquired by Mr Clark, and filled numerous gaps in the long series of fly-sheets, programmes, proposals, etc., which is a particularly valuable feature of the Clark Collection (see the Catalogue, s.v, ' Cambridge Papers and * Fly-Sheets '). (3) Mr Henry Bradshaw, University Librarian, added many tracts to the collection ; and at the sale which followed his death in 1886 Mr Clark acquired many more Cambridge items, (4) Dr H. R. Luard, Registrary, who died in 1891, left Mr Clark his University pamphlets and Bentleiana. (5) In 1894 Mr Robert Bowes published his remarkable Catalogue of Cambridge Books, and a large number of the pieces there described found their way into the Cambridge PREFACE xi collection at Scroope House. In addition to these main sources Mr Clark rarely missed an opportunity of securing any books which came within the scope of his collection wherever and whenever he happened to see them. Mr Clark's main idea in forming the collection was to illustrate the history and development of Cambridge by means of its literature ; he collected from an historical and biographical rather than from a bibliographical point of view. Most of the books of typographical interest which were originally included in his Cambridge collection he gave to the Library in 1902^, in order that they might appear in Mr Sayle's Early English Printed Books in the University Library^ Cambridge. The present work is based on the manuscript catalogue referred to in Mr Clark's will. This was finished in 1897 by Mr Clark, assisted by Mr Alfred Rogers of the University Library. He always hoped to see it printed, but it was not until 1909 that any very definite steps were taken. Since then it has been revised throughout, and to a large extent recast with a view to publication. Each book or tract has been compared with its catalogue-entry, and a large number of additional cross-references and subject-headings have been in- troduced. The general plan for the printed Catalogue and the earlier part of the revision were made by Mr Clark and myself working together; but in 19 10 his health broke down, and I was obliged to continue the work alone. In form it is a dictionary catalogue, with authors and subjects in one alphabetical arrangement. The titles have been kept short ; and the main purpose has been to give an idea of the historical value of the collection rather than biblio- graphical descriptions of the books which compose it. To this end the subject-headings have been made as complete as possible. ^ See Report of the Library Syndicate for the year ending 3 1 December 1 902 {Reporter, 23 June 1903). Mr Clark also gave a documentary history of the University Library, arranged by himself, in six folio volumes. xii PREFACE As has already been stated, the collection includes a certain number of books which have no very close connection with treated as a Cambridge ; but in spite of this it has been Cambridge Collection, and the headings 'Cambridge' and * University of Cambridge ' have been reduced to a minimum. (See the notes under those headings in the Catalogue.) In the University Library the Clark Collection has been incorporated with a smaller collection of similar books already in chrono- preserved there ; and the whole has been arranged logical order as a special class (Cam.), to which Cambridge literature of every description can in future be added as it appears, and in which gaps can be filled as occasion offers. The Clark books are distinguished by a book-plate and a special stamp. The present Catalogue, which includes only those books which came to the University under Mr Clark's will, is published as a contribution towards that complete bibhography of Cambridge which has yet to be written, and as a memorial of one who was unwearying in his efforts to advance the interests of the University Library. Considerable pains have been taken (in some cases without success) to discover the authors of the numerous anonymous publications included in the collection, and 1 take this op- portunity of thanking the various Cambridge publishers and booksellers to whom I have applied for information concerning some of the more recent publications of the kind. My best thanks are also due to Mr Francis Jenkinson, University Librarian, and to Mr H. G. Aldis, Secretary of the University Library, who have read the proof-sheets of the Catalogue, and given me much help and encouragement throughout ; to Mr Robert Bowes, who has placed at my dis- posal his unrivalled knowledge of Cambridge literature, and to whose Catalogue of Cambridge Books I have constantly referred ; to Mr A. H. Cook, my colleague in the Acton Library, who has read all the proofs with particular care, and saved me from 2 PREFACE xiii Charles Sayle, Assistant many errors and inconsistencies ; to Mr Under Librarian, for allowing me to make use of his list of the manuscripts received under the Clark bequest in drawing up Syndics of the University Press for Appendix I ; and to the Clark's Care the loan of the block (originally made for Mr of Books) from which the frontispiece is taken.

    BOOK REVIEWS THE JEWS IN THE GREEK AGE. By Elias J. Bickerman. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University, 1988. Pp. xiii + 338. $30. The late Professor Bickerman (1897-1981) was recognized as a leading authority not only in the study of Hellenism but also in the particular area of Hellenistic Judaism. His most famous books were Der Gott der Makkabàer (1937; English, 1979) and Institutions des Séleucides (1938). His technical articles have been gathered in the three-volume collection Studies in Jewish and Christian History (1976, 1980, 1986). He was widely admired for his mastery of the primary sources pertaining to the Hellenistic era and for his breadth of learning. He was indeed a scholar's scholar. In his latter years he served as professor of ancient history at Columbia University in New York and research fellow at Jewish Theo­ logical Seminary of America. Although B. had completed the first draft of this survey of pre- Maccabean Judaism in 1963, he was revising his manuscript until shortly before his death. His manuscript has been prepared for publication by Shari Friedman, a member of the Jewish Theological Seminary research staff. Albert Baumgarten, professor of Jewish history at Bar-Ilan Uni­ versity, assisted with the final preparation and compiled a 15-page general bibliography. The theme of the volume is stability and change in Jewish society during the first centuries of the Greek age, from the fourth century B.C. until approximately 175 B.C. The first part ("before and after Alex­ ander") surveys the evidence for the early encounters between Jews and Greeks in the land of Israel and the Diaspora.

Drawing upon extensive manuscript research, it focuses on the reign of Mary I (1553-1558), when the official return to Roman Catholicism was accompanied by the prosecution of Protestants for heresy, and the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), when the state religion again shifted to Protestantism. I argue that the cognitive dissonance created by these seesaw changes of official doctrine necessitated a society in which religious mutability became standard operating procedure. For most early modern men and women it was impossible to navigate between the competing and contradictory dictates of Tudor religion and politics without conforming, dissimulating, or changing important points of conscience and belief.

For most early modern men and women it was impossible to navigate between the competing and contradictory dictates of Tudor religion and politics without conforming, dissimulating, or changing important points of conscience and belief. Although early modern theologians and polemicists widely declared religious conformists to be shameless apostates, when we examine specific cases in context it becomes apparent that most individuals found ways to positively rationalize and justify their respective actions. This fraught history continued to have long-term effects on England’s religious, political, and intellectual culture.

  • History Unveiling Prophecy (Or Time As an Interpreter)
    1906 Digitally formatted for Historicism.com in 2003 courtesy of B. Keenan. "Reading The Approaching End of the Age was somewhat of a turning point in my belief in the bible. It is a very convincing argument that the bible is influenced by some supernatural power. It has given me a strong enthusiasm for learning more of what H. Grattan Guinness has to say, along with many other authors that cover end time (current) events, and the plethora of fabricated events in history leading to this stage." – B. Keenan For more information on Henry Grattan Guinness, and a list of his works that are available on the Internet, visit the H. Grattan Guinness Archive at http://www.historicism.com/Guinness. © 2003 Historicism.com PREFACE THE lofty decree of Papal Infallibility issued by the Vatican Council of 1870, immediately followed by the sudden and final fall of the Papal Temporal Power, after a duration of more than a thousand years, was the primary occasion of my writing that series of works on the fulfilment of Scripture prophecy which has appeared during the last quarter of a century. I left Paris, where I had been labouring in the Gospel, at the outbreak of the Franco-German war in July, 1870. It was in the light of the German bombardment of that city, of the ring of fire which surrounded it, and of the burning of the Tuileries, that I began to read with interest and understanding the prophecies of Daniel and the Apocalypse. Subsequent visits to Italy and Rome enlarged my view of the subject.
