Alumni Cantabrigienses is the biographical dictionary for all students who attended Cambridge University from its beginnings up until 1900. To the historian or genealogist, it is often the only source of information available on many lesser-known writer and thinkers (theologians, alwyers, 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 divded 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 informaion on many of the country's most important figures and is cited in most biographical dictionaries whether they be theological, legal, political or philosophical. This reference should be available to all historical and biographical researchers.This work belongs to Alumni Oxonienses on the reference shelves of every academic and public library. 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.

The Venns (father and son) published this ten-part work, containing over 125,000 entries, between 1922 and 1954. It is a comprehensive directory of all known alumni of the University of Cambridge, listed in two alphabetical sequences, from the university''s foundation in the thirteenth century to 1751 and from 1752 to 1900. John Venn senior (1834-1923) is best known for his work as a philosopher and logician, but contributed to his university in many other ways. His keen interests in genealogy and antiquarian studies inspired this study, researched from sources including episcopal registers. His son, John Archibald Venn (1883-1958) brought the work to completion after his father''s death. Thorough and reliable, it is recognised for its extraordinary value to historians and genealogists. Volume 2, Part 2 (1944) covers ''Chalmers to Fytche'', and includes figures such as Charles Darwin. Books > History > European History > United Kingdom History List_Books<
