DIRECTIONS TO CANDIDATES

1. Be at your seat in the Examination Room five minutes before the time fixed in the preceding table for the Examination in the several subjects.

2. Write your index number in the right-hand top corner (not the one with the punched hole) of every sheet of paper which you use, and your name as well as your number on the first sheet of each set of papers.

3. Write only on one side of the paper. Fill each sheet before you take another. Leave a blank space after each answer.

4. Answer the questions as nearly as you can in the order in which they are set, and write the number of each question before the answer.

5. As soon as notice is given (which will be five minutes before the end of the time allowed), arrange your papers in proper order, so that the first page may be at the top, fasten them according to the direction of the Examiner, and give them unfolded to him.

6. No Candidate can be allowed to give up her papers and leave the room until half an hour has expired from the time at which the papers are given out. A paper will not be given to any Candidate who is more than half an hour late.

7. No Candidate can be allowed to remain in the Examination Room after her paper is given up to the Local Examiner.

The Syndicate has made the following regulation for the Examination in June, 1873: With a view to meeting the actual expenses of examination of Candidates who are engaged in tuition as a profession, or are preparing for that profession, the sum of £5 each shall be given to the five Candidates fulfilling these conditions who are placed highest in order by the Examiners.

The Committee for conducting the Cambridge Lectures for Women will give an Exhibition of £25 and one of £20, for one year, together with free admission to three courses of Lectures in each term (equivalent to nine guineas), to the two Candidates who are considered most worthy by the Examiners in the Cambridge Examination for Women, June, 1873.

Attendance at two courses of Lectures in Cambridge during each of two terms at least in the year following the Examination will be required as a condition of receiving these Exhibitions. A list of the Lectures as at present arranged can be procured on application to the Rev. G. F. BROWNE, St Catharine's College, Cambridge. Accommodation is provided for students attending these lectures.

Candidates for the above gratuities or for the Exhibitions must give notice to the Local Secretary at the centre at which they are to be examined before the end of the Examination.

A prize of £20 has been offered by a Member of the Senate for the best Essay on some social problem into which economical considerations enter as an important element. The choice of a subject is left to each Candidate. The prize will be open to all women who shall have passed the Examination in Group D. The Essays must be sent in under cover to the Secretary on or before November 30, 1873, and will be returned to the Candidates. A similar prize will be given in 1874, for which the successful Candidate in 1873 may compete, but her Essay must be on a different subject.

REGULATIONS of the Syndicate appointed by the University of Cambridge to provide for the Examination of Schools.

APPLICATION for the Examination of a School under the regulations of the University must be made to the Syndicate through the Secretary, the Rev. G. F. BROWNE, St Catharine's College, Cambridge. Applications will be considered in the week following the 1st March, the 1st May, and the 1st Nov. in each year, and must be sent for this purpose on or before these days respectively.

The Subjects of Examination of each class will be those taught them in the School; and may extend to the following: Divinity, English, Latin, Greek, French and Mathematics.

The Report of the Examiner (or Examiners) will specify the state of proficiency of each several class, and the general state of the whole School; and will name (if required) the boy or girl in each class who passes the best Examination. This Report will be made to the Syndicate, and will be communicated by them to the Head Master or Governors of the School.

If the Report is printed by the Authorities of the School, a copy must be sent to each Examiner and to the General Secretary.

The Syndicate will in each case decide (according to the number of boys or girls and the extent of the subjects) the number of days required to conduct the Examination.

The fee charged on each Examination will be £10, and the Examiner will be required to be present two full days at least: but if the Syndicate decide that the number of boys or girls and extent of the subjects require a longer time or more Examiners, then for each additional day and for each Examiner fees to the amount of £3 per diem will be charged.

The expenses of the Examiners, as well as of printing examination papers, if any, must be entirely defrayed by the School.

It is understood that when two or more Schools in the same neighbourhood are examined in immediate succession, the expenses will be apportioned between them; and that the minimum fee may be derived from more than one School in the same neighbourhood. The day on which the Examination of each School will commence will be fixed by the Syndicate, but the arrangement of days will be made so as to suit, as nearly as possible, the convenience of the several Schools which are to be examined at about the same time.

THE

CAMBRIDGE PARAGRAPH BIBLE

OF THE AUTHORIZED ENGLISH VERSION, with the Text Revised by a Collation of its Early and other Principal Editions, the Use of the Italic Type made uniform, the Marginal References remodelled, and a Critical Introduction prefixed. By the Rev. F. H. SCRIVENER, M.A., Rector of St. Gerrans, Editor of the Greek Testament, Codex Augiensis, &c.

Now ready, Crown Quarto, cloth, 155. each.

PART I.-GENESIS TO SOLOMON'S SONG.

PART II.-APOCRYPHA AND NEW TESTAMENT. PART III.-Containing the PROPHETICAL BOOKS, and the CRITICAL INTRODUCTION, 6s., in the press.

"The opportunity has been considered favourable for attempting the more delicate and laborious task, of supplying to scholars and divines their long-felt want of a critical edition of our Authorized Version, such as would have been executed long ago, had this Version been nothing more than the greatest and best known of English Classics. principles on which this revision has been accomplished, the literary difficulties which have been encountered and the means adopted for surmounting them, will be thoroughly discussed in a copious Introduction.

The

Out of the vast collection of parallel texts of Scripture which crowd the margin of our modern Bibles, scarcely a tenth part is due to the original Translators, and all these (a few obvious errors excepted) have been here scrupulously retained, as comprising an integral portion of the Authorized Version. The rest were added by different hands (principally during the last century) and differ widely in their quality and merits. They have all been carefully scrutinized, and if judged on examination to be irrelevant, or unimportant, or true to the English rather than to the original, have been removed from their place, and others substituted in their room. The whole mass has then been digested in such a manner as to avoid repetitions, and to afford some guide to the reader for using it profitably."-Extract from Preface.

"The Syndics of the University Press deserve great credit for this attempt to supply biblical students and general readers with a copy of the Bible, which presents the arrangement of an unbroken text in paragraphs accommodated to the sense (the numerals, indicating the chapters and verses, being removed to the margin); with the broad distinction between the prose and poetical portions of Scripture duly maintained, and with such passages of the Old Testament as are quoted in the New being marked by the use of open type. ... After this notice of the nature and objects of the Cambridge Paragraph Bible, it is needless to say one word as to its great value and importance."

Notes and Queries.

"Mr. Scrivener has carefully collated the text of our modern Bibles with that of the first edition of 1611, restoring the original reading in most places, and marking every place where an obvious correction has been made; he has made the spelling as uniform as possible; revised the punctuation (punctuation, as those who cry out for the Bible without note or comment should remember, is a continuous commentary on the text); carried out consistently the plan of marking with italics all words not found in the original, and carefully examined the marginal references. The name of Mr. Scrivener, the learned editor of the 'Codex Augiensis,' guarantees the quality of the work." Spectator.

An edition has also been printed, on good writing paper, with one column of print and wide margin to each page for MS. notes. It is expected that this edition will be found of great use to those who are engaged in the task of Biblical criticism.

Parts I. and II. 20s. each, now ready. Part III. 10s., in the press.
