Synopsis
Excerpt from A Lecture on the History of the University Archives
Besides the Registers there are here, as in other institutions, books of Privileges and Chartularies into which the charters and title-deeds are transcribed. Of the old Letter Books, which are for the most part strictly Formularies, only one remains in the Archives two others. Have passed to the Bodleian and the Cottonian Libraries. But these do not come properly under the definition of archives. Still less can we in clude a large series of transcripts and collectanea which were made by many antiquaries in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, although for historical purposes they are more constantly consulted than any other volumes in my custody. Among them may be specially mentioned the collections of Mr. Robert Hare, who was Clerk of the Bells in the time of Queen Elizabeth, and of the first two Keepers of the Archives, Mr. Brian Twyne and Dr. Gerard Langbaine, in the reign of King Charles I and during the Interregnum. Nor need I here speak of the vast accumulation of miscellaneous papers.
