On a stone to John Brimble, organist of S. John's College, Cambridge, 1670, we read that he was Musis et musicæ devotissimus, ad coelestem evectus Academiam. Among many inscriptions some interesting items will be found. John Benson, 1827, was the "oldest Committee Clerk at the House of Commons." Humfrey Orme, 1670, was A supremo Ang'iæ senatu ad superiorem sanctorum conventum evocatus.
Cardan seems to have been astonished at the wealth of precious stones he found in Scotland dark blue stones, diamonds, and carbuncles "maxime juxta academiam Glaguensis oppidi in Gludisdalia regione," and he casts about to explain how it is that England produces nothing of the kind, but only silver and lead.
