The Register of Admissions to Gray's Inn, 1521-1889: Together With the Register of Marriages in Gray's Inn Chapel, 1695-1754 (Classic Reprint) - Brossura
Excerpt from The Register of Admissions to Gray's Inn, 1521-1889: Together With the Register of Marriages in Gray's Inn Chapel, 1695-1754
Of these Noblest nurseries of humanity and liberty in the Kingdom, as Ben Jonson styled them, Gray's Inn was at the period in which he wrote by far the most important and most numerously frequented. Its Register is, therefore, of special value for that brilliant Elizabethan epoch, in which the Inn may be said indeed to have played a direct part by its famous Masques and Revels. But there is an even more distinctive feature about the Register of Gray's. It was the practice of the Inn that each Treasurer, Bencher, or Reader, introducing a student or honorary member, should enter the admission himself in the Register. The result of this plan was unfortunately the introduction of an endless variety of handwriting, which, however interesting to a lover of autographs, is enough to puzzle a transcriber to distraction. The difficulty of deciphering these scrawling entries of three, or even two, centuries ago, is at times almost insuperable.
