Excerpt from A History of Pembroke College, Oxford, Anciently Broadgates Hall: In Which Are Incorporated Short Historical Notices of the More Eminent Members of This House IT might be impossible to do for one Of the greater founda tions what is here attempted for a small College, to bring together, namely, in a single volume all that is known of its history, and interweave therewith a kind of Athenae, or series of biographical sketches, of its best remembered sons. The domestic life Of these houses Of learning is. Usually sequestered and uneventful. It is difficult for the historian Of any particular College 'proprie dicere' even the communia' Of ancient Observance and picturesque tradition, which are shared bv all - those incongruities between ourselves and our surroundings which are to strangers the attractive charm Of Oxford. The chief interest then of an educational institution must always lie in the sons whom (to use the Old phrase) it has given to serve God in Church and State. It would indeed be a task worth doing to show on the one hand how probably every College is linked to the successive unfolding movements Of thought, literature, and politics by some notable influence contributed by it to the national life, and on the other hand how each is representative Of a period. Pembroke, one Of the three Stuart Collegesl, had an Old pedigree and considerable fame before the grant Of its charter by James the First, and, either as Hall or College, records many eminent and honour able names Ou its roll. Of a succession of great canonists. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
