HISTORY.

Minimum—History of England, from the Conquest
to the accession of Henry VIII , with Blackstone on
Real Property; or from the accession of Henry VIIL
to that of Queen Anne, with Blackstone on Personal
Property and the Rights of Persons. Justinian's Insti-
tutes may be brought up iu lieu of Blackstone.
For Honours—Law, especially the Law of England.
Candidstes fir the three superior classes must bring
up either Civil Law or Interuational Lae; Adam
Smith on the Wealth of Nations may be uffored; Mo-
dem History, to the year 1789; hut ceedidetes for
honours !ewe necessarily include in their lists the sub -
j ects required of those who merely seek t 9 pass.
The names of those who simply pass will be printed,
and a reference will be made in the lists of honours and
ordinary degrees to the distinctions awarded by the Mo-
derators.
It will be observed that those who enter in Lent or
Act Terms may go up for Responsions in their third, fifth,
or seventh terms; while those who enter in Michaelmas
or Easter Terms, can go up only in their fourth or sixth
term, at lea,t if they do so within the time prescribed by
the statute.
So, as reeards the first public examination, those who
enter in Lent or Act Terms can go up in their eighth,
tenth, or twelfth terms; while those who enter in
Michaelmas or Easter can go up only in their ninth and
eleventh. As to the second public examination, those
wbo enter in Lent or Act Terms can obtain honours
later (namely, in their eighteenth term) then those who
enter in Michaelmas or Easter Terms; the letter, how-
evler, can pass their examination earlier—namely, in
their thirteenth term; but the same number of oppor-
tunities of going up for honours within the time pre-
