On its N. side is the Library (rich in mathematical works), built in 1856from a tasteful design by Sir G. G. Scott ; and from the pleasant greensward weget a charming view of the Divinity School (3) and Duke Humphreys Library(6), their mullioned windows and picturesque buttresses and pinnacles richlyclothed with foliage ; while on the other side the spire of St. Marys (20) andthe dome of the Radclifte (21), with the great chestnut tree mentioned onpage 51, complete a lovely and reposeful picture. On returning to the quadranglewe notice a fine fig-tree (known as Dr. Kennicotts fig-tree) which in sum-mertime covers the garden front of the college with its broad leaves. On the opposite side of Turl-street extends the E. front of 63. Jesus College, remarkable as the first college foundedsince the Reformation, its charter bearing date 27th June, 15 71. I
