The Diary (1709-1720) Of Edward Rud, Sometime Fellow of Trinity College, and Rector of North Runcton in Norfolk: To Which Are Added Several Unpublished Letters of Dr. Bentley (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Diary (1709-1720) Of Edward Rud, Sometime Fellow of Trinity College, and Rector of North Runcton in Norfolk: To Which Are Added Several Unpublished Letters of Dr. Bentley
Of Dr.' Bentley, to whom the diary owes almost all its interest, the picture that is presented is not a pleasing one. Utter want of principle and an overbearing tone and manner to all who opposed him are very manifest. And this impression is enhanced if we recollect that of the two parties into which the College was then unhappily divided, Rud decidedly belonged to the Master's - never taking any part in the prosecution, voting for him against the grace for taking away his degrees, besides assisting him in his preparations for his edition of the Greek Testament3. It may be added also, that Rud's character always stood high, and that he could have had no motive for giving an unfavourable colour to any of Bentley's proceedings.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides comprehensive historical detail about Trinity College, Cambridge and its notable alumni, Dr. Richard Bentley. It covers Dr. Richard Bentley's controversial tenure as Master of Trinity College during which time he made several excessive demands of a composition for the profits of his mastership and used unscrupulous methods to achieve his aims. The book also documents the disputes between Bentley and his Fellows which ultimately led to their appeal to the bishop of Ely, the attempt by the Fellows to change the proportion of their dividends and replace him as master, and the resulting hearings and public trial that was prevented by royal arbitration. The author offers an insider's view of historical events, providing fresh perspectives on the disputes and their resolution. This book will appeal to historians, scholars of theology, and those with an interest in the history of Cambridge and its colleges in the 18th century.
