' The Bishop,' he says, ' had a prodigious collection of books, written as well as printed on vellum, some very ancient, others finely illuminated. He had a Capgrave's Chronicle, books of the first printing at Maintz and other places abroad, as also at Oxford, St. Alban's, Westminster, etc' There was some talk of uniting it with Harley's collection ; but in 171 5 it was bought by George I. for 6000 guineas, and was presented to the Public Library at Cambridge.
The University had possessed a lib...rary from very early times. It owed much to the liberality of several The University of Cambridge 123 successive Bishops of Durham. Theodore Beza and Lord Bacon were afterwards among its most distin- guished benefactors. Bishop Hacket made a donation of nearly fifteen hundred volumes : and in 1647 a large collection of Eastern MSS., brought home from Italy by George Thomason, was added by an ordin- ance of the Commonwealth. But, until the royal gift of the Bishop of Ely's books, the University received no such extraordinary favour of fortune as came to the sister institution through the splendid beneficence of Bodley.
