Cambridge and its story With lithographs and other illus by Herbert Railton, the lithographs being tinted by Fanny Railton . nts of grammar, shall be transferredthence to our aforesaid College of Cambridge, which we will shallbe henceforth denominated our College Royal of S.

The first site chosen for the College was a very cramped and inconvenient one. It had Milne Street, then one of the principal thoroughfares of the town, on the west, the University Library and schools on the east, and School Street on the north. On the south side only had it any outlet at all. A court was formed by placing buildings on the three unoccupied sides, the University buildings forming a fourth. These buildings, however, were never completely finished, except in a temporary manner, and indeed so remained until the end of the last century, when they were more or less incorporated in the new buildings of the University Library facing Trinity Hall Lane, erected by Sir Gilbert Scott in 146. tfCll Ill ^ ^ i ^L* ^ <^Vl ^ Aingr (oilege (Jicpei
