_Why did Dr. Dee quit Manchester?_--In the _Penny Cyclopædia_, art. DEE,
JOHN, I find the following statement:--
"In 1595 the queen appointed Dee warden of Manchester College,
he being then sixty-eight years of age. He resided there nine
years; _but from some cause not exactly known, he left it in
1604_, and returned to his house at Mortlake, where he spent the
remainder of his days."
Can any of your correspondents assign the _probable_ causes which led to
Dr. Dee's resignation?
