Excerpt from Milton Tercentenary: The Portraits, Prints and Writings of John Milton Each year we hold our domestic commemoration of all our benefactors and worthies. This year gives to us an opportunity, which we welcome, not only of dwelling upon our connexion with John Milton - for we were nursed upon the self same hill - but also of asking others to join us in a commemo ration of one whose preeminence among those reared in this College can be questioned in favour of none save perhaps of Charles Darwin. We ask all to enjoy with us the sight of portraits, of books, of other objects which have interest by their relation to Milton. We believe that no collection so large has been previously made to make it needed special knowledge and unusual zeal and energy, for which we owe a very great debt to Dr G. C. Williamson and to Mr Charles Sayle - a debt all the greater that we cannot claim them as members of our body. Dr Williamson has contributed the following account of Milton portraits, has lent us many of which he is the owner, and has. Procured us the loan of others: he has also dealt with early editions of the poems: Mr Sayle has contributed an appendix on editions and on books about Milton to be found at Cambridge. Among those who have been lenders special thanks are due to the Earl of Ellesmere, to Lord Sackville, to Lord Leconfield, to the Right Hon. Lewis Harcourt, to H. Clinton Baker, Esq., to Mrs Morrison, to J. F. Payne, Esq., M.D. To the Library Syndicate, and to the Master and Fellows of Trinity College; to the University Press.
