70 BEING EXTRACTS FROM HIS MS. DIARIES, COLLECTED, WITH A FEW NOTES, BY PHILIP BLISS, LATE FELLOW OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE, NOW PRINCIPAL OF TO THE REV. BULKELEY BANDINEL, D.D. KEEPER OF THE BODLEIAN LIBRARY. MY DEAR BANDINEL. OU are certainly one of my oldest Oxford acquaintance, and if an uninterrupted in tercourse from youth upwards, even to the decline of life, will allow me to use the term, among my oldest Oxford friends. You will remember the commencement of these volumes, and I cannot forget your often-repeated and half-reproachful smile at their cessation: it now gives me great delight, at their conclusion, to associate your name with the publication, by requesting you to receive it. Yours ever, most sincerely, ST. MARY HALL, Jan. 1, 1857. PHILIP BLISS. |
