Additional Manuscripts a

Presents Trinity College Library - through WW - a copy of 'King Alfred's Description of Europe, Africa etc' [A literal translation by JB of 'King Alfred the Great, a Description of Europe and the Voyages of Othere and Walfstan' 1855]. JB hopes to send the library a copy of the whole of Orosius ['King Alfred's Anglo-Saxon Version of the Compendious History of the World by Orosius', 1859]. JB writes to WW since he is 'the most influential member of the University', to help preserve a University Statute (IX Chapter of 2 Elizabeth) concerning the qualifications for a clergyman to be admitted to any College and the qualifications expected for the Degree of Bachelor of Divinity. JB has great confidence in the Statute since he graduated under it.
