spread throughout the university and the whole kingdom.* Whitgift at last quitted his mastership, on being raised to the bishopric of Worcester, and was succeeded by John Still, who was afterwards created Bishop of Wells.

For some time after the foundation of Trinity College, no attempt seems to have been made to change the face of the old buildings, but it long remained a great and irregular mass of houses and gardens. The present chapel was begun by Queen Mary, but at her death the walls were raised no higher than the windows.† Elizabeth, early in her reign, finished the chapel, and a new library, which also had been commenced in the preceding reign. It is asserted in the inscription to Loggan's view, that the chapel was finished, and the hall built, at the expense of the society, who also added some buildings to those which had been given to this college by Henry VIII. To the building of this library, as well as to the improvements of the master's lodge, Dr. Christopher is said to have contributed liberally. Sir Edward Stanhope, who had been

"On a Sunday (in Dr. Whitgift's absence), Mr. Cartwright, and two of his adherents, made three sermons in one day in the chapel, so vehemently inveighing against the ceremonies of the church, that at evening prayer all the scholars save three, viz. Dr. Leg, Mr. West, Whitaker's tutor, and the chaplain, cast off their surplices as an abominable relic of superstition."-Fuller.

fellow of the college, gave 900l. to furnish the library, and to support a librarian.

In a bird's-eye view given in the curious and rare map of Cambridge, published in 1574, dedicated to Archbishop Parker, and found in some copies of Caius's History of the Univeristy, we still see the old buildings of King's Hall, Michael's House, and the hostles, probably much as they stood at the time of the dissolu

*An account of the old plans of Cambridge is given in Gough's "British Topography." The oldest is this dedicated to Matthew Parker and engraved by Richard Lyne, in 1574. It is on the same scale as the wood-cut I have given in the text. It is only since the first sheet of this book was printed that I have accidentally discovered this map in one of the copies of Caius, in the Museum, for it is rarely found in the book. Braun's map made in 1576 (and not, as in Gough, in 1572), is taken incorrectly from the former, and the buildings all changed and thus much distorted, to give them the appearance of being viewed from the west instead of the south. I have not been able to meet with a copy of the map by Ralph Aggas, in 1578. The one attributed to Hollar is very diminutive: a copy of it is preserved among Hollar's engravings, in the Print-Room of the British Museum. Gough has omitted the small plan by Speed, in the corner of his map of the county, 1610. After this, we have Fuller's, in 1655; and Loggan's, in 1690.

tion of those societies. If we make allowance for some little distortion in the design, and some errors of the engraver, particularly that of making his towers nearly all round, we may consider it as a pretty exact representation of Trinity College at that period. In the northeast corner we see the present chapel, built by Mary and Elizabeth. The tower at the west end is probably the same as that on which is the statue of King Edward, of which we have given a cut. The engraver has, without doubt, taken the great entrance-tower for a tower at the east end of the chapel, and has, with that idea, made a perfect symmetry between the two. The building with the large windows, in the little court to the west of the chapel, may, possibly, be the library. The building with the two towers before it, was probably the entrance gateway to King's Hall from Mill Street: the line of buildings running to the left seem to have formed the north side of Foule Lane, all to the north being part of the Hall. The building to the left of the two towers in front, with the houses extending from it to the north, is marked in the map as Michael House. The northern end of these latter houses was Gregory's Hostle. The houses between the two towers are said to be Phiswick's Hostle; the right-hand tower I suppose to be that which now stands on the south side of the Great Court*; and the buildings still further to the right, are the site of St. Catherine's Hostle and Tiled Hostle.

* The tower to the left, I fancy, is an error of the engraver: it has, perhaps, been only intended to represent the end of the kitchens, &c., which might, in the original drawing, partly conceal the hall from view. As it is, no distinct idea is given of the hall.
