Excerpt from Annals of Cambridge University Library: 1278 1900 The collection of notes, from which the present is an extract, was commenced at the request of Mr. Jenkinson, more than nineteen years ago (21st August, 1896). It received every encouragement from the late Registrary, J. W. Clark. At one period, in fact, the whole manuscript was placed in Mr. Clark's hands, at his urgent desire, in order that it might receive such treatment as his particular knowledge and energy should think fit. But it was too late. The manuscript came back to me at his death practically untouched. Mr. Clark's notes, compiled after he had decided upon the task, are now MS. Add. 5090. He also colleeted and bound in 1901 a chronological series of documents relating to the library. 'The learned and industrious authors who have hitherto investigated the antiquities of Cambridge, are all silent touching the foundation of the University Library.' With these words the writer of the preface to the first volume of the Catalogue of Manuscripts, published in 1856, commences his remarks. Since that date a good deal has been printed. First, the Catalogue of Manuscripts itself, in five volumes, taught a good deal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Charles Henry Cooper charted over half a millennium of life at Cambridge in the five volumes of Annals of Cambridge. Cooper practised as a solicitor in Cambridge, and was also town clerk from 1849 until his death in 1866. He was a keen historian and devoted a great deal of time to archival research, particularly into local history. Drawing on extensive public and private records, including petitions, town treasurers' accounts, restoration records, death certificates, legal articles and letters to ruling royalty, Cooper compiled a comprehensive chronological history of Cambridge, documenting the 'city of scholars' through its tumultuous political and religious growing pains. It was published in parts, in the face of considerable opposition from the university authorities, but was eventually acclaimed as an authoritative account. This first volume, published in 1842, spans the centuries from the town's beginnings to the surveys of the colleges in 1546.
