Excerpt from The University of Cambridge: From the Earliest Times, to the Royal Injunctions of 1535 To those who best understand how important and numerous are the relations of university culture to the history of the people, such a method of treatment will probably appear most arduous and the qualifications necessary to its competent execution most varied; it may consequently be desirable also to explain how greatly the author has been aided by the researches of previous investigators. It is now more than thirty years ago since the late Mr. C. H. Cooper published the first instalment of that valuable series, - the Annals of Cambridge, the Memorials of Cambridge, and the Athence Cantabrigienses, - with respect to which it has been truly said that 'no other town in England has three such records.' To extraordinary powers of minute investigation he united great attainments as an antiquarian, a fidelity and fairness beyond reproach, and a rare judicial faculty in assessing the comparative value of conflicting evidence. It need hardly be added that more than a quarter of a century of research on the part of so able and trustworthy a guide, has materially diminished and in some respects altogether forestalled the labours of subsequent explorers in the same field.
