Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

EâS COLLECTIONS wo Clock the Orator, Mr. Digby Cotes, began his Speech wÂh Wa Sspoke by him from the Registefs Desk. It was about half an Houi at least long, very flat &dull, ¬ by any means fit to be spoke before such an A uditory. He had hreqt Repetitionstcommended the DP for an universal scholar (who however had very little or no Learning &yet afterwards observed that he never studyed but rather despised Books He commended his virtues, which he might have let alone, the DT being but a loose sort of a Man, &never discovered much Zeal for Religion. What he did now for the University was not so much out of a Principle of doing good, as because he could not tell how to dispose of his Money better to gain him a Name after his Death, he being very ambitious of Glory. Besides he was extravagantly unreasonable in his Fees refusing (as tis said) to go even to a mean Person (provided he could be even induced at all to visit such a one) under live Guineas. The Speech being ended the Corps was conveyâd to St. Marieâs, attended by all that were present in the Convocation House (being between three &four hundred Persons) according to the Direction of the Paper; but the Speech at the Grave was not spoke by the Orator, but by MF. Lindsey one of the Fellows of University College. So that this is the zd thing in wch they differed from the printed Order, the ringing of St. Marieâs Bell at twelve a Clock on Wednesday being the first. Now the occasion of Mr. Lindseyâs speaking the 25 Speech was this. Soon after the Death of Dr. Radcliffe, one of the Executors writ to Dr. Charlett, &desired to know of him whether they had room in their College Chapell for the Body of the D1â &whether they would permitt it to lye there. Upon this the Drcalled a Meeting, &the Fellows &the Master all agreed that âtwould be a great Honour done them to have him

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
