Excerpt from College Life in the Time of James the First In presenting to our readers a sketch of the college life of an undergraduate of the University of Cambridge, in the early part of the seventeenth century, we must beg leave in the first instance to assist in placing before their mind's eye the hero of the story himself. Let them picture to themselves, therefore, a youth about sixteen years of age, having, as he complacently gives us to understand, a very well favoured and pleasing countenance, with a full and quick black eye. If they have an opportunity of watching him closely, they will find that the ball of the right eye is somewhat dilated, and that he has the misfortune to labour under a slight obliquity of vision.
