Description and Table of Contents

Description

"Alumni Cantabrigienses" is the biographical dictionary for all students who attended Cambridge University from its beginnings up until 1900. To the historian or genealogist, it is often the only source of information available on many lesser-known writer and thinkers (theologians, alwyers, politicians, doctors, scientists, civil servants, and so on), figures whose lifetime achievements it would otherwise be almost impossible to discover. Containing details of thousands of major and "minor" British figures covering a 400-year period, the work is divded into two periods (up to 1751 and 1752-1900), with each part arranged alphabetically by surname. Considering the large majority of the educated population of Britain pre-1800 attended either Oxford or Cambridge, "Alumni Cantabrigienses" is a key source for informaion on many of the country's most important figures and is cited in most biographical dictionaries whether they be theological, legal, political or philosophical. This reference should be available to all historical and biographical researchers. This work belongs to "Alumni Oxonienses" on the reference shelves of every academic and public library. The alphabeticized entry layout gives the following details: full name; parentage; birthplace; date of birth; record of their degrees; positions held; honours; death date; and cross-referencing with other biographical reference works such as obituaries and bibliographies, enabling the researcher to pursue further lines of enquiry.
