Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Work of Richard Crashaw: Canon of Loretto According to the scanty sources of information, Crashaw was the son of William Crashaw, B. D., adivine of some eminence in his time? And preacher at the Temple. The date of his birth has not been ascer tained, but it may have been about 1616 since, the first steps of his education having been taken at the Charter house, on the foundation of which he was placed by Sir Randolph Crew and Sir Henry Yelverton, he was elected a scholar of Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, March' 26, 1632, and became a Fellow of Peterhouse in the same University, in 1637 having removed to that College on the 20th of March previous. His Bachelor's degree was taken in 1633. In 1641 he is recorded by Wood as one of the persons incorporated that year at Oxford but to what degree admitted is not stated, as his name does not appear in the public register, and Wood's authority was the private observation of a certain Master of Arts, that was, this year, living in the University. Wood, however, adds Afterwards, he was Master of Arts, in which degree it is probable he was incor Beyond these features of his academical career, we are certain of nothing save of its termination which happened during the Great Rebellion in 1644, when the Earl of Manchester, under the authority of Parliament, reformed (as they were pleased to style it) the University, by expelling such members as re fused to subscribe the Covenant. On this occasion Crashaw was one of the Sixty - five Fellows ejected. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
