In thanking all who have already consented to accept tha office of presi- dent of the League ia the various Parliamentary division;, I may add that it is hoped that a large number of la iies and gentlemen will spontaneously offer their services as vica- presidents and members in each Metropolitan division as well as in the neighbouring couities. There is evidence to show that a great number of willing workers are a^ailabla who have not previously had the opportunity to tender their gratuitous services and to devote a portion of their time on behalf of tl e hospitals.

The Prince of Wales : I am very glad you have asked this question.

It should also be noted that whilst Englishmen used the Old System at home, it was common (and Matthew Prior is no exception) for them to use the New System when on the Continent. iii Introduction It is often the way with historical memory that the man seen by his contemporaries as an important powerbroker is remembered by posterity as little more than a minor figure. As is the case with many men of the late-Seventeenth- and early-Eighteenth-Centuries, Matthew Prior’s (1664-1721) is hardly a household name any longer. Yet in the minds of his contemporaries and in the political life of his country even after his death his importance was, and is, very clear. Since then he has been the subject of three full-length biographies, published in 1914, 1921, and 1939, all now out of print.1 Although of low birth Prior managed to attract the attention of wealthy patrons in both literary and diplomatic circles and was, despite his humble station, blessed with an education that was to be the foundation of his later success.

  • (2019), No. 7 1 Some Marginalia in Burnet's
    Some Marginalia in Burnet’s History of My Own Time Gilbert Burnet, Bishop of Salisbury (1643–1715) had no known connection with New College during his lifetime, and very little contact with the University of Oxford. He was a graduate of the University of Aberdeen, and as a young man he had served briefly as Professor of Divinity in the University of Glasgow, but he is not remembered primarily as an academic or as a scholar. Yet, long after his death, New College Library acquired a copy of one of Burnet’s books of very considerable interest to those historians of the British Isles who specialize in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. To explain why this is so, it is necessary first to describe Burnet, and the part he played in the affairs of the period through which he lived. I Burnet began to compile the final version of his History of My Own Time, the book in question, in about 1703, during the reign of Queen Anne. It was an exercise in contemporary history, rather than an autobiography, and it covered, in a narrative format, the years from the Restoration of 1660 to, eventually, the conclusion of the War of the Spanish Succession at the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713. An introductory chapter covered the reign of Charles I, the civil wars in Scotland and England, and the Interregnum. It was well known to contemporaries that Burnet was engaged in writing what was called his ‘Secret History’, and its publication was awaited with keen anticipation, because Burnet was a celebrated figure both in ecclesiastical affairs and in secular politics.
