The following brief account of the Scholarships, Exhibitions, and Sizarships, open for Competition at the different Colleges in Cambridge, is taken partly from the Second Part of the Liber Cantabrigiensis, which was published in 1863.

The specimens of the Examination Papers for the Scholarships, &c. open to competition before residence, are given for the information of such students as may be desirous of becoming Candidates for these aids in their Academical Education.

In addition to the Scholarships, Exhibitions and Prizes open to Competition at the different Colleges, amounting in value to about £40000 a-year, there are the "University Scholarships and Prizes" open to the Competition of the whole University, in value upwards of £2000 a-year.

Students may obtain full information respecting the open Scholarships, the times fixed for the Examination, &c. at any College, by applying by letter to the Tutor of that College.

"We regard Liber Cantabrigiensis, Part II., as an invaluable addition to an invaluable work."-English Journal of Education.

"Mr. Potts has very meritoriously presented, in a manageable compass, not only the present code of the University and its Professorships, Scholarships, and Prizes, but also a full abstract of the Statutes of all the Colleges, with particulars of their Fellowships, Scholarships, and Exhibitions.

"The theological student will find this an invaluable volume. In addition to the text there are copious notes, indicative of laborious and useful research; an analysis of great ability and correctness; and a selection from the Senate-House and College Examination Papers, by which great help is given as to what to study and how to study it.

There is nothing wanting to make this book perfect."-Church and State Gazette. "Mr. Potts' is the most complete and useful edition yet published."--Eclectic Review. "We feel that this ought to be henceforth the standard edition of the 'Evidences and Horæ.'"-Biblical Review.
