N The removal of Mr Torry to Marston Mortaine left the parish of Marwood in North Devon vacant; to this the College has presented Mr Pryke, formerly Scholar and Naden Divinity Student, 14th Wrangler in 1866 and Second Class in the Theological Tripos in 1867. Mr Pryke has been for twenty years Head Master of Lancaster School, which he has raised to a high place among the Grammar Schools of the North of England. Among his boys were Dr Tucker, (Senior Classic 1882), Mr Marr, our present Lecturer in Geology, and Mr Seward, University Lecturer in Botany. Mr Chamberlain's presentation to Staplehurst left Aldridge vacant, which has been filled by the appointment of Mr C. M. Roberts, Rector of Brinkley, formerly Scholar, and for many years Head Master of Monmouth School. Mr Roberts is succeeded at Brinkley by Mr Easton, formerly Scholar, and sometime Head Master of Yarmouth School. Besides Mr Blomefield, whose death is recorded in our Obituary, the College loses another clergyman who took his degree over sixty years ago. The Rev J. C. Burnett graduated in 1829, and after serving several curacies and incumbencies in the Southwest was appointed to the living of St Michael, Bath, which he held for thirty-six years. The senior clergymen now on the College books are the Rev Sir John Henry Fludyer (1826) and Canon C. T. Whitley (Senior Wrangler 1830). A brass in memory of the late Dr Parkinson has lately been put up in the College Chapel. It bears the following inscription: In memoriam mariti carissimi STEPHANI PARKINSON ST.P Collegii Divi⚫ Johannis Socii Lectoris Tutoris Praesidis qui summos in studiis mathematicis honores adeptus vixit Collegio fidelis amicis iucundus discipulis dilectus monumentum uxor superstes ponendum curavit natus AS mdcccxxiii obiit AS mdccclxxxix Another brass, the inscription of which is subjoined, has been put up in memory of Mr F. C. Wace. In loving Memory of FREDERICK CHARLES WACE, MA: JP: DL. Late Fellow and Lecturer of this College Alderman of the Borough and of the County Council. This tablet is placed by his family. The Manner of the Coronation of King Charles the First of England, edited for the Henry Bradshaw Liturgical Text Society by Mr Chr. Wordsworth, is described by the Editor in the following words: "The manuscript marked L. 15, in the Library of St. John's College, is the main source which supplies the text now printed for our Society as the Coronation Service actually used at the Coronation of King Charles I in Westminster Abbey, 2 Feb. 162. It is believed to be the very book which King Charles held in his hand on that occasion. For this interesting fact we have the express statement in the handwriting of Abp Sancroft, "I have reason to think, ytis y very Book which the King held in his Hand at yt great solemnity." The little book, which measures 6 inches by 4 inches, is well bound in a seventeenth century binding of green leather gilt, the edges of the leaves are gilt, the pages are ruled with red lines for the margin, and the ceremonial directions are rubricated. Text and rubrics are alike written in a clear large printlike hand, occupying the greater part of 67 pages. The hymn Veni Creator comes as an appendix on p. 69. The first quire in the book (leaves 1-12) consisted in King Charles' time mainly of blank paper, the 8th leaf being the title page, and the 9th, 10th, and 11th being occupied with the note Ex Libro Regali, the prescription for the Oil and the list of Bishops, &c. The volume subsequently fell into Abp Sancroft's hands, aud he, while respecting the blank backs of the leaves already containing writing on one side, filled pages 1a, 2a, 2b, 3a with historical notes and extracts from Fuller and Heylin; and others on pp. 67, 70 at the end of the volume. For the practical purpose of utilising the book for the Coronation of King James II and his consort, he interlined the text book of the Coronation office (which concerned the crowning of King Charles I without his Queen) with such corrections and additions as would make it correspond with a certain old copy which he had, and would render it applicable for the double Coronation in 1685. This he was readily able to do, as there were copies extant of the discarded form which had been prepared on the supposition that Henrietta Maria would be crowned in 1626. The copy which Sancroft employed for his purpose in 1683 was, as he tells us, a form on large folio paper in the King's Paper Office. He found space on pp. 71-75 for transcribing the whole Order for the actual Coronation and Investiture of the Queen Consort, but for his collation of those rubrics which related to the King, or to the King and Queen jointly, in other portions of the Service he did not find the margins of K in every case sufficient for his addenda. Accordingly he made use of the verso page of the last leaf of the (unnumbered) quire at the beginning of the book |
