Book excerpt: Excerpt from Clare College This little volume does not profess to give more than a sketch of our College history; an exhaustive treatment of the subject would entail further researches among old documents in the British Museum and elsewhere, which would necessarily postpone publication indefinitely, while the results, when obtained, could not be brought within the compass of the present series. At the same time it is hoped that nothing of material value has been here omitted. Apart from the information to be derived from general works upon the history of the University, biographies of distinguished Cambridge men, &c., the manuscript volumes of Cole and Baker (in the British Museum and the University Library at Cambridge) contain many valuable details, which have been here incorporated, about our College and its members; more important, however, are the records preserved in the College itself, and, defective as they unfortunately are, they naturally form the groundwork of this history.
