I836£05 ^0 the Memotu of JOHN COLET A FOUNDER AS FAR-SIGHTED AS HE WAS GENEROUS, A PRIEST AS LIBERAL AS HE WAS DEVOUT, A MAN AS LOVEABLE AS HE WAS LOVING, BY ONE WHO OWES ALL TO HIS MUNIFICENCE. " A most far-sighted man, Colet saw that a nation's chief hope lay in having the rising generation trained in good principles." Erasmus' Letter to Justus Jonas (Lupton's Translation, page 28). " Even so with regard to a man's last will and testament, which lawyers call a just decision about what we should wish to have done after our death. In this case also we may say that it is not broken or infringed from having a better development given it after the testator's death by some godly man ; and from more good being done by a better will than the dying man could have wished for. To act thus is not to infringe but to perfect a will : it is not to do away with it but to establish it. We believe that the testator also wished for what was best and most acceptable to God : and that when he died he was minded to have that last will of his made perfect in a better will if any such there should be." Colet's Ex2?osition of St. PauVs Epistle to the Romans, Ch. iii. " From numbers of the tenets most generally received in the public schools {i.e. at the Universities) at the present day he widely dissented, and would at times discuss them among his private friends. When with others, he would keep his opinions to himself, for fear of coming to harm in two ways, that is to say, only making matters worse by his efforts, and sacrificing his own reputation." Erasmus' Letter to Justus Jonas (Lupton's Translation, page 38). " Wherefore I pray you al lytel babys and lytel children lerne gladly this lytel treatise and commende it dylygently unto your memoryes. Trustynge of this begynnynge ye shall procede and grow to parfyt lyterature and come at the last to be grete clarkes. And lyfte up your lytel whyte handes for me whiche prayeth for you to God." Colet's " Lytell prohem6 " to his Accidence. PREFACE. Brother Paulines, I commend to your charity this my effort to perpetuate the records of our School, In the year 1878 the present High Master suggested to me that it was desirable that the records of St. Paul's School should be published. After some consideration and with much diffidence I undertook to collect some materials for such a work, trusting that if our School could not again produce a Leland, a Camden, or a Strype, there might yet be found a Gale, a Knight, or a Fosbrooke to whose antiquarian zeal and learned leisure I might commit my collections. It was thought however that the approaching crisis in our School's history would justify the publication of its records, and so 1 venture to intrust to your kindness the results of my work, undertaken in the leisure of a Schoolmaster. I am sensible that another ten years' labour would still have left the work imperfect, but I hope that the interest of the present juncture will excuse its production. Originally it was only intended to publish the Captains' Registers (1806 — 1876) preserved in the School Library : to these after some consideration I resolved to prefix the Register of Names, dating from 1751, collected by Dr. Kynaston from the Presentations ; together with PREFACE. the names of sucli earlier Paulines as were found in Kniglit's Life of Colet and other works. The work was almost completed in this form when, by the kindness of the Mercers' Company, I obtained access to the Eecords of Admissions preserved in com- pleteness at their Hall from 1748. This obliged me to rewrite the work from 1748 to 1806, and shortly after- wards I received information from other books in their possession, from which I collected the greater part of the facts which fill the first eighty pages of this book : my previous notes therefore on early Paulines had to be fitted in to this new matter. Let this rewriting be pleaded as an excuse for any inconsistencies which may be discovered between the earlier and later portions of the work. In compiling the notes I have asked for help far and wide, and I beg to tender my thanks to all who have kindly furnished me with information. Above all, my thanks are due to the Court of the Mercers' Company, not only for their permission to use their Eecords, but also for the generosity which enabled me to send the book to the press, and which embellished it with its frontispiece. My thanks are also due to the present High Master for the interest which he has taken in the work, and the encouragement which he has given me to persevere in it ; to the Eev. J. H. Lupton, Surmaster, not only for contributing one of the Appendices from his store of Coletine learning, but also for his kindness in reading proofs and suggesting sources of information ; to John Watnev, Esq., Clerk to the Mercers' Company, for assisting me in one of the Appendices, and for his unfailing readiness to help me in all matters of detail ; to tlie authorities of the British Museum, to whose care PREFACE. I was committed by J. Winter Jones, Esq. (O.P.), late principal Librarian, especially Edward Scott, Esq., Dorset EccLES, Esq. (O.P.), and Freeman Donoghue, Esq. ; to the Bursars and Librarians of the Colleges at Oxford and Cambridge, who have been most kind in furnishing in- formation, especially W. Aldis Wright, Esq., Bursar of Trinity College, Cambridge, to whose labours I owe the list of Perry Exhibitioners ; to Sir Albert Woods, Garter King-at-Arms ; to J. E. Gardner, Esq., and Eev. C. J. Eobinson, the Editor of the Merchant Taylors' Eegisters. To these I must add the names of R. Harris, Esq., whose drawing of the exterior of the School is here re- produced ; Samuel A. Walker, Esq. (O.P.), who presented his photographs to the work ; and John B. Chubb, Esq., who assisted me in the plans upon which the Appendix on the Site and Buildings is based ; the printing and publication of the work have also been kindly under- taken by Old Paulines. To conclude, while I regret the scantiness of our early records, I hope that I have collected sufficient to show how Colet's scholars have endeavoured to fulfil their daily prayer " ut bene pieque eruditi Ecclesise et Kei- publicae tandem utiles evadamus," and venture to express my belief that the -generation o/ Paulines among whom this work is published will find in it a reason for strenuous efi'ort to maintain the glory of their School, and while cheerfully accepting in the true spirit of their Founder such changes as are demanded in a course of nearly four centuries, will take care that, there shall be no break in its career of producing "men qualified to serve God in Church and State." ROBERT B. GARDINER. St. Paul's School, Jpril, 1884. PLAN OF THE WORK. After the Introduction and tlie Fasti, the work is divided into Sections, according to the reign of each High Master. The name of the High Master is followed by that of his Surmasters and other Assistants : then come the names of his reputed scholars. These are arranged as far as possible in chronological order, their position being determined more or less conjecturally from the date of birth or of admission to the University, Thus up to the year 1748 each High Master is credited with the boys who left the School under his Mastership, but from the commencement of the Registers he is credited with the boys whom he admitted. Several times it has been necessary to insert lists of the names of those who are known to have been at the School before a certain period, but as to whose exact date it has been impossible to obtain a clue. The names also of pupils who are known to have been at the School under a certain High Master, but whose relative date is uncertain, will be found at the end of his reign. Note that curious instances of mis-spelling have been generally preserved, such as BayHall (Balliol), Woodham (Wadham), Polls (Paul's), but ordinary errors have been corrected without notice. I desire to call particular attention to the use which I have made of two MSS. at the British Museum. (1) Additional 5885. A tran- script of the list of all the Bachelors of Arts graduated at Cambridge from A.D. 1500 to A.D. 1716, in the collection of Mr. Cole. (2) Ad- ditional 19209 and 19210.

THE ILLUSTRATIONS. A Facsimile of the Cover of the Statutes of the School, preserved at Mercers' Hall Frontispiece. Presented to this work by the Court of the Mercers' Company. This cover was painted in 1585 by an artist named Segar (see Fasti). It reproduces to a certain extent the monument of the Founder in St. Paul's Cathedral : but the artist has inserted a portrait of the Dean instead of the Bust ; a true representation of the monument may be seen in Dugdale's St. Paul's (1656), and Knight's Life of Colct ; but this picture retains one peculiarity of the Bust which disappears in the engraving, namely, the finger holding the pen: of this fact we are assured in spite of the engravings from the following entries in the Accounts 1588—89, " for mending the pen and new-making the finger and hand of Mr. Colet's tomb, twice, iiis. vijd.," and again 1632-33, "to Edmund Kinsman for making a new finger of stone for the Statue of Dr. Colet in St. Paul's Cathedral, xs." On this tomb the Mercers' Company spent a large sum for marbles, &c., in 1575—76, and they again rej)aired it in 1617—18 at the cost of XX lib. viijs. iid.^ A Facsimile of the Portrait of Colet attributed to Holbein, from the Queen's Library at Windsor To face 'page 1.

About the close of the reign of Henry VII., John Colet, Dean of St. Paul's, son of Sir Henry Colet, citizen and mercer, twice Lord Mayor of London, commenced the work of educational reform in t England by establishing a school in London, which, although originally founded in honour of '' Christ Jesu in puo'icia, and of his blessyd Mother Mary," soon became known (probably from the situation of its buildings) as St. Paul's School. Colet, during his travels abroad, had perceived the importance of the Revival of Learning, and desired to equip the children of his own country to take their place by the side of the learned men of other nations. He declared in his Statutes (see Appendix B.) that he founded the School " for the children of all nacions and countres indifferently," and that his intent was " to increase knowledge and worshipping of God and our Lorde Crist Jesu, and good Cristen lyfe and manors," a purpose which he hoped to effect by encouraging the study of Greek (up to his time not taught in England), and of clean and chaste Latin, in contrast to the depraved Latin of the Schoolmen. " All the educational designs of the Reformers of Learning were carried out in the new institution. The old methods of instruction were superseded by fresh grammars composed by Erasmus and other scholars for its use. Lily, an Oxford student, who had studied Greek in the East, was placed at its head. Not only did the study of Greek creep gradually into the schools which existed, but the example of Colet was followed by a crowd of imitators. More grammar schools, it has been said, were founded in the latter years of Henry VIII. than in the three centviries before. The grammar schools of Edward VI. and of Elizabeth, in a word, the system of middle class education, which by the close of the century had changed the very face of England, were the direct results of Colet's foundation of St. Paul's."^ ' Green's Sliort History of the English People. INTRODUCTION. I THE BUILDINGS. He placed his school on the site apparently of an older school at the east end of St. Paul's Cathedral. In those days the Cathedral, a magnificent structure in the Gothic style, stood within a walled and gated inclosure : the busy traffic which now circles round the Churchyard, passed through Old Change on the east, Carter Lane on the south, Pater Noster Row on the north, and Creed Lane and Ave Maria Lane on the west. We know but little of Colet's Building, which was finished in 1510, except that Strype, who was educated in the first and lived to see the second building, tells us, that after the Fire the School "was built up again much after the same manner and proportion it was before, together with the library and an house on the south end thereof for the Second Master, whose dwelling before and from the first founding of the School was in the Old Change adjoining to the said School." The original building consisted of four parts (as described by Erasmus), the first or porch for catechumens ; a great schoolroom divided by a curtain ; and a little chapel for divine service, together with chambers for the High Master and Surmaster. This building perished in the Fire of London (1666), and was shortly replaced by another, which stood within the memory of living Paulines. It consisted of a large schoolroom with a flat roof, and at the end was a room (described as small and dark) which served as a library. There was also a house at each end, that on the north for the High Master, that on the south for the Surmaster, while the Chaplain (or Usher) was provided with a house in Old Change. The rearrangement of thoroughfares, which brought the stream of traffic from east to west down Cheapside through the Churchyard to Ludgate Hill, materially interfered with the quiet and seclusion of the School. The building of 1670, in spite of various repairs, was found to be in a dnngerous condition in 1814 ; and on the occasion of the visit of the Allied Sovereigns to. the city, its roof was supported with shores which were not subse- quently removed till about 1823, when the Mercers' Company, having acquired some additional ground to the North, proceeded to pull down the old buildings and set up the present ones, con- sisting of a large schoolroom over a cloister with two houses at either end, whereby the Fourth Master, who had been added to the teaching staff some twentv yenrs befor^o, and had hitherto had INTRODUCTION. an allowance for a house, acquired an official residence. The whole School continued to be taught in one room till 1854, when Dr. Kynaston, the High Master, who had long ceased to take boarders, gave up to the School the boarding-rooms of his house, whereby the size of the Library was doubled, so that it could be used as the High Master's Class Room, and the Uj)per Class Room was brought into use for the Fifth and Sixth Classes, then taught by the Surmaster; subsequently also the Lower Class Room was occupied by the Third Master. THE GOVEENOKS, Colet wisely intrusted the management of his new foundation to the Mercers' Company, of which his father had been a member : and under their care his school survived the storm of the Reformation, wliich swept away so many endowments. For more than three centuries and a half, under their careful and judicious government, the School continued to fulfil the purpose of its founder, supplying men, as this work I hope will prove, qualified to serve God in Church and State. By tlie careful management of its property its income was raised to £10,000 a year. In accordance Avith the Founder's Statutes the Mercers appointed annually two Surveyors — the Surveyor Accountant (who of late years was usually the outgoing Master of the Company) and the Surveyor Assistant (the Master of the Company for the year) — to manage the affairs of the School. But on the 24th of March, 1876, a new scheme, made by the Endowed Schools Commissioners (1869), received her Majesty's sanction, whereby although the management of the estates remains Avith the Mercers the government of the School is transferred to a body of t\\enty- two Governors, of whom the Mercers appoint nine, together with their Master and three Wardens for the year, and the remaining nine are appointed equally by the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, and London, This arrangement seems to carry out Colet's wish expressed in the statutes that " the Wardens and assistences of the felowshipp of the Mercers may adde and diminish into his boke and supply in it every defaute with suych other counsel as they shall call unto theme, good litterid and lernyd menne" (.see Appendix B.). H 2 INTRODUCTION. THE MASTEES. Colet provided that his scholars slioiild be taught by two masters, the High Master and the Surmaster : he also desired that they should employ the assistance of the Chaplain, if he were found qualified. This arrangement appears to have held good for nearly thi'ee hiindred years, the High Master teaching the Upper Classes while the Surmaster, assisted by the Chaplain (or Usher), took charge of the younger boys. In the time of Thicknesse and the early part of Roberts' High Mastership, about one half of the School was under the Chaplain in the First and Second Classes ; another quarter under the Surmaster in the Third and Fourth ; while the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Classes, under the High Master, were barely a quarter of the School. At length, however, under Dr. Roberts, a more even distribution was made, and he obtained the services of an Assistant or Fourth Master, who relieved him of the Fifth and Sixth Classes. This arrangement lasted till 1854, when, on the death of Mr. Roberts the Fourth Master, Mr. Carver, the then Surmaster, took over the Fifth and Sixth, the new Fourth Master, Mr. Hudson, taking the Third and Fourth : and when, on the resignation of Mr. Cooper, Mr. Hudson became Third Master (Chaplain or Usher), he retained charge of his Classes, the noAv Fourth Master taldng the First and Second Classes. THE STUDIES. Colet founded his School to give instruction in Latin and Greek ; and except that Writing and Arithmetic appear to have been taught to some selected boys during the eighteenth century, nothing beyond Latin, Greek, and Hebrew was taught in the School for over three hundred years. Soon after the appointment of Dr. Kynaston (1838) an Arithmetic and Mathematical Master was for the first time added to the Staff, and about 1853 French was introduced as a subject of study. Hebrew was taught in the School by Langley (1640-57) ; and Strype, writing after the Fire, speaks of the boys as then instructed in Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and sometimes other Oriental languages. Pepys heard the "head Forms posed in Latin, Greek, and Hebrew" in 1662; and in 1710 Hebrew was among the subjects offered at the Apposition by the Seventh and Eighth Classes. I INTRODUCTION. THE SCHOLAKS. Colet offered his scholars a higher education than any which existed in his day ; no child was to be admitted who could not read and write ; and none were to be retained in the School but such as were likely to make jDrogress. It seems, then, that Colet, while welcoming the poor scholar to his school, expected liis foundation to be used by the upper class of citizens. By the children of these the School was mainly occupied till men ceased to reside in the neighbourhood of the School. There have at times been non- foundationers admitted, and the reputation of some of the High Masters, notably Gale (1672-lG97j, attracted boarders other than the sons of citizens. In 1 748, when the Registers begin, the School appears to have been going down under the High Mastership of Dr. Charles (1737-1748), for Mr. Thicknesse (in whose first year of ofiice it rapidly filled again), reports that only thirty-eight boys were on the foundation a few months after his appointment. This may have been owing to some financial difficulties under which the Mercers' Company (and with them the School) appear to have been suffering at that time, which are described at large in the Report of the Commissioners of Endowed Charities (1820). The head boy in each class was called the Captain ; the head of the Eighth Class was the Captain of the School ; — this post was usually held for a year, and the subjoined list of Captains will be found a roll of not undistinguished names (see Appendix D.). From the earliest times (1564) boys who reached the top of the School were sent to the Universities by the liberality of the Governors, ancf after a time in addition to these (who are called Pauline Exhibitioners in the following pages) others were sent to Trinity College, Cambridge, by the liberality of Viscount Campden, whose benefaction, dating in 1629, now produces £1,000 a year. These latter are called Campden Exhibitioners ; the suc- cessive phases in the management of this endowment will be found in Appendix E. 2, Other exhibitions were subsequently founded in Cambridge, at Trinity and Corpus Christi Colleges, which will also be found described in the A.ppendix (E. 4, 6, 7). The present century witnessed the institution of the prizes for Composition known as Governors' Prizes, to which several endowments have been added in the last thirty years. INTRODUCTION. THE EECOEDS. It only remains to explain the authorities from whence this book is drawn. The early part is simply a comjiilation from various sources, such as the Accounts of the School and the Acts of Court preserved among the archives of the Mercers' Company, and the lists of exhibitioners (Campden, Perry, Sykes, &c.), to which has been added information collected from works in which St. Paul's School is alluded to or described. The lists from 1748 to 1806 are printed from the Registers of the Admissions of Scholars, which are preserved at Mercers' Hall and have been kiudly placed at my disposal by the Court, From 1806 to 1876 a record of admissions was kept by the Captain in the School Library : and from this my lists are printed ; the Christian names of the parents which the Captain did not record, being added from the Mercers' Hall Registers. There does exist in the School Library a very imperfect record of admissions from 1751 to 1806, but it was made by the late Dr. Kynaston from the volumes of presentations which exist in the library, and is of no independent authority. It is much to be regretted that the registers mentioned in the Fasti under dates 152-i and 1712 have not been discovered. FASTI OF ST. PAUL'S SCHOOL. 1508.

June 2 — It was resolved that Exhibitions should be given to two Scholars, one at each University, especially to promote the advancement of the scholars of St. Paul's School. The " articles " or terms on which the Exhibitions were to be held, drawn up by the Bishop of London (Edmund Grindall), were laid before the Court of the Company, July 26th, 1564. The first Exhibitioner was elected on September 26th. The Exhibitions were fixed, to be of the value of £5 per annum, January 9th, 1565 (Appendix F. 1), 1572, The Company obtained judgment (which was entered in the Exchequer in Trinity Term, Anno. Eliz. 15) against Mr. Knevet who had laid an information against them for " concealed chauntery lands" {i.e. Colet's endowment for a chaplain), but who failed in his " profes " : nevertheless by the mediation of Sir Walter Mildmay and others, " out of their meere liberalitye," they gave Mr. Knevet ]0 FASTI OF ST. PAUL'S SCHOOL. 40 lih. sterling. This trouble recurs frequently in subse- quent years. In 1579—80, the Company again entered an appearance in the Exchequer on the same complaint ; and in 1580, a fine of £300 was recorded against the Compan}'^ for the same matter ; but it does not appear to have been paid out of St. Paul's School funds, though there are further entries on the same subject in 1582-83 (a.). 1573. July 28 — The boys may have license to play every Thursday afternoon, "so that one of every of the forms in the Upper School by turn one after another first make an epistle to their Master for the same " (m.).

It was agreed between the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's and Jesus College, Cambridge, that two of the Scholars on the foundation of Dr. Reston should be nominated by the Dean and Chapter, the Candidates to be chosen from St. Paul's School, or, in defect, from any other School. 1575. Oct. 29 — The morrow after Simon and Jude, Mr. Malym's Scholar made an oration on a " skaffolde " set up at Paul's School, when Mr. Ambrose Nicholas, then Lord Mayor, returned from Westminster (A.). 1575-6.

From subsequent entries it seems that Meeke became involved in a lawsuit with Abraham Vele,^ bookbinder, who had taken the said "pervy" into his shop, and in 1577-8 Meeke received a further grant, but it does not appear whether he was successful in his suit. 1578. William Malym delivers an oration (in Latin) to Duke John Casimir. 1579.

(Churton's Life of Nowel, page 190). 1585-6. The cojDy of the Statutes,^ now preserved at Mercers' Hall, was rebound, as appears by these entries : — „ Paid "for a cover of vellom for Mr. CoUette's book of ordenaunce wherein his own handwriting is : the said Mr. CoUette's picture is now newly made on the outside, and for stringe of silk and for binding the same, 6s." „ Paid to Segar " for drawing the picture of Mr. Dr. Collette upon the cover of vellom of the book of ordenance very fair in cuUors, 40s." 1588-9.

From the following entries it seems that while the dispute went on the scholars were transferred to the care of Mulcaster: — 159G-7. " Paid to Christopher Johnson for his paines in teaching under Mr. Mulcaster till Lady Day in Lent last" (a.). „ " Paid to John Be vane for reward for teaching the schol- lers of Poules one quarter under Mr. Moncaster in Mylk Street " (A.). „ " To Mr. Mansfield, late Mr. Moncaster's ussher" (a.). 1596.

Apparently this is the first "Distribution of Prizes." The sum distributed was increased to 10s. in 1601, and 20s. in 1602 : and at this it remained till 1630-40, when it appears to cease. 1602.

In the accounts of 1666-7 a quarter or half-year's Exhibition only is j)aid to each Exhibitioner, and all Exhibitions cease till Lady Day, 1678-9. 1666-70.

In 1770 he answered Dr. Johnson's pamphlet called Tlic False Alarm. He is said to have endeavoured to persuade Lord North that he was Junius, hoping to get a pension by undertaking to write no more ; but it is certain from Francis' letters that he was abroad during a great part of the Junius period ; in 1772 he was living a dissolute life in Paris. He is said to have refused to marry the Prince of Wales to Mrs. Fitzherbert. About 1797 he was sent out as Ai'chdeacou of Colombo to Ceylon, where he died in September, 1798. 1752] SCHOLAES OF ST.
