_St. John's, Oxford, and Emmanuel, Cambridge._--Can your readers give me
any information respecting Thomas Collis, B.A., of St. John's College,
Oxford, ordained priest by Richard (Reynolds), Bishop of Lincoln, at
Buckden, 29th May, 1743? What church preferment did he hold, where did he
die, and where was he buried?
Also of John Clendon, B.D., Fellow of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, who was
presented to the vicarage of Brompton-Regis, Somerset, by his College, in
or about the year 1752? His correspondence with the Fellows of Emmanuel is
amusing, as giving an insight into the every-day life of Cambridge a
century ago. You shall have a letter or two ere long as a specimen.
