Description
Alumni Cantabrigienses is the biographical dictionary for all students who attended Cambridge University from its beginnings up until 1900. Invaluable to the historian or genealogist, it is often the only source of information available on many lesser-known writers and thinkers (theologians, lawyers, 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 divided 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 information on many of the country's most important figures and is cited in most biographical dictionaries whether they be theological, legal, political or philosophical. Regarded as unique and highly accurate, this reference source should be available to all historical and biographical researchers. This essential work belongs next to Alumni Oxonienses on the reference shelves of every academic and public library. A unique resource, 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. --unique, primary reference work with details of thousands of famous and lesser-known British people from the Middle Ages up until the end of the Victorian era --essential companion work to Alumni Oxonienses --scarce in major libraries with only 500 copies of the original edition printed --important work for genealogists, biographers, historians and librarians --cross-references with other biographical reference works
