Appendix L (1).

Expenditure on the school from 1561 to 1873.

From the foundation in 1561 to Midsummer 1873 the cost of the School to the Company, exclusive of the Repairs (except since the year 1821), and exclusive also of the cost of the Exhibitions over and above any provision that may have been made for them (by bequests for Exhibitions, or by the School Admission Fees), which last two charges cannot be ascertained from the books, is 110,520l. approximately.

Expenditure of the Merchant Taylors' Company in the Maintenance of their School since the date of its foundation.

This has been arrived at by carefully taking out the exact amounts paid for the last 53 years, and for the remaining period taking the exact amount paid about every tenth year, and considering that the rate of expenditure for the ten years.

When any irregularity has been noticed, then each year has been taken separately.

The cost to the Company was in 1561, 40l.; in 1860, 1,828l. 1s. 9d.; in 1873, 2,124l. 18s. 9d.

SOME ACCOUNT OF THE HEAD MASTERS OF THE MERCHANT TAYLORS' SCHOOL. (fn. 2)

1561 to 1581

Richard Mulcaster, M.A., elected Scholar of King's College, Cambridge, from Eton, in 1548. Afterwards Student of Christ Church, Oxford. Head Master of Merchant Taylors', Sept. 24, 1561; resigned, Nov. 8, 1581. He was afterwards Upper Master of St. Paul's School. Died, April 15, 1611.

Mr. Mulcaster ranked high as a Philologist, and is said to have been especially celebrated for his knowledge of Greek and Oriental Literature. In his day, acquaintance with the Greek literature was an unusual accomplishment; so much so, indeed, that the earliest statutes of Merchant Taylors' School provide that the "Head or High Maister shall be learned in good and cleane Latin Lrâture, and also, in Greeke, yf such may be gotten." He commenced instruction in Hebrew at the School, which has always been continued. Bishop Andrewes, who was one of his early pupils, probably owed a good deal of his power as a Linguist to Mr. Mulcaster, whom he always held in great respect. Bishop Buckeridge says, in his Funeral Sermon on that prelate, that "as if he had made Master Mulcaster his tutor or supervisor, he placed his picture over the door of his study, whereas in all the rest of his house you could scantly see a picture." Fuller speaks kindly of Mr. Mulcaster; and Warton (Hist. Poet. iii, 345), commends one of his works "as containing many judicious criticisms and observations on the English language."

1581 to 1592

Henry Wilkinson, M.A., Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. B.A., 1568. M.A., 1572. First Under-Master of Merchant Taylors', April 3, 1573. Elected Head Master Nov. 8, 1586, and entered upon his office at Christmas of that year. Resigned, Oct. 6, 1592.

1599 to 1625

WILLIAM HAYNE, M.A., Scholar of Christ's College, Cambridge, in 1571. Elected Head Master, May 19, 1599, and entered upon his office on June 19, of that year. Removed, April 1624/25.

Fellow of Eton. Expelled from his Fellowship during the Great Rebellion. Head Master of Tonbridge School. Restored to his Fellowship in 1660, but died about Michaelmas that year, and was buried in the Chapel of Eton College.

Resigned, October 31, 1634, in order to become Proctor of the University the next year; afterwards took his Degrees in Medicine, and became Sedleian Professor of Natural Philosophy at Oxford in 1636.

1634 to 1644

WILLIAM STAPLE, M.A., Fellow of St. John's College, Oxford, in 1612. Head Master of Merchant Taylors', October 31, 1634. Resigned, 1644, through fear of the Parliamentary Commiteee.

Mr. Staple had been summoned to appear " to answer for his superstition and malignancy," before "the Committee for plundered ministers," who had power given them "to enquire after malignant Schoolmasters."

1644 to 1661

William Du Gard, M.A., admitted of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, in 1622. Master of Colchester School, July 27, 1637. Head Master of Merchant Taylors', May 10, 1644. Removed, June 12, 1661. Died 1662.

Mr. Du Gard was suspended by Bradshaw, for printing Salmasius' " Defensio Regia," at his own house. He owed his restoration in a great measure to the intercession of Milton. Hence the strange inconsistency which induced him to print Milton's answer to the very treatise to which he had owed his misfortune.

Mr. John Stevens held the office of Head Master, from February, 20, 1649/50, to September 25, 1650. Mr. Du Gard, on his restoration, wrote the following distich in the School Probation Book:

Dugardum sequitur Stephanus, Stephanumque vicissim Dugardus; sortes versat utrinque Deus.

Mr. Stevens had written as follows:

Res Deus nostras celeri citatas Turbine versat.

And again:

Dat veniam corvis, vexat censura columbas; Pejus merenti melior, et pejor bono.

Mr. Goad quitted his Office under suspicions of being inclined to the Romish Communion, which he afterwards showed to be too well founded. He had sometime been Vicar of Yarnton, and there became acquainted with Anthony à Wood who speaks of him very favourably in his Autobiography. In 1662, the Boys of the School acted a Play, at Merchant Taylors' Hall, called, "Love's Pilgrimage," by Beaumont and Fletcher. [See p. 410.]

1681 to 1686

John Hartcliffe, D.D., originally matriculated at Magdalen College, Oxford, whilst still at Eton, afterwards Fellow of King's College, Cambridge. Head Master of Merchant Taylors', May 4, 1681. Resigned, 1686. He afterwards proceeded in Divinity, and became Canon of Windsor. In the year 1689, King William III. attempted to force Dr. Hartcliffe on the Fellows of King's, as their Provost. They had not forgotten the similar attempt of King James II., and resisted him successfully.

1686 to 1691

AMBROSE BONWICKE, B.D., Fellow of St. John's College, Oxford, 1669. Head Master of Merchant Taylors', June 9, 1686. Removed for non-juring scruples, September 25, 1691. Died, October 20, 1722.

In the years 1762 and 1763, Dramatic performances were revived at Merchant Taylors', at the wish and under the direction of Mr. Townley. In the former year the "Eunuchus" of Terence was enacted at the School-room. Dr. Thomas, Bishop of Salisbury, who had been educated at the School, and several persons of distinction, were present. A copy of the original programme of the performances is in the keeping of the President of St. John's College. It is headed "Terentii Eunuchus, in Schola Mercatorum Scissorum, 1762." The celebrated David Garrick, who was a personal friend of Mr. Townley, took great interest in the representations. The second act of the "Phormio" of Terence, was performed in the same year, more privately. The next year, the "Troades" of Seneca, abridged into three acts, and Ruggles's "Ignoramus," abridged into two, were enacted six times, to very large audiences. The play bill runs thus: "Senecæ Troades, et Ignoramus Abbreviatus, in Scholâ Mercatorum Scissorum, 1763."

Some Account (fn. 3) Of Other Eminent Scholars Of The Company's School (Than Those Included In The Other Appendices).

Archbishops and Bishops.

Lancelot Andrewes, D.D., Bishop of Winchester. Dr. Wattes' Scholar in 1571, and afterwards Fellow and Master of Pembroke College, Cambridge, of which he was a great Benefactor.

Bishop of Chichester, 1605; of Ely, 1609; and of Winchester, 1618.

Wood writes of Bishop Andrewes, that "he was the most eminent divine of our nation in his time." He is said to have been master of at least fifteen learned and modern tongues. His "Manual of Private Devotions," his "Sermons," and con- troversial works are well known. Baker, in his Chronicle, at the end of the reign of James the First, writes thus—"Of men of note in learning, as being in the time of the most learned Prince, there never was greater store, of whom these for example; in curiousness of preaching, there was Dr. Andrewes, Bishop of Winchester, who hath left to posterity a century of such golden Sermons, that shows he as well deserved the name of Chrysostom, as he that had it." Fuller declares, that "King James stood so much in awe and veneration of him, that in his presence he refrained from that mirth and levity in which he indulged himself at other times." Lord Clarendon asserts, that "if Archbishop Bancroft had been succeeded in the See of Canterbury by Andrewes, or any man who understood and loved the Church, that infection would, without difficulty, have been kept out, which could not afterwards be so easily expelled." Milton wrote an elegy on his death, in which the following distich occurs—

"At te præcipuè luxi, dignissime Præsul, "Wintoniæque olim gloria magna tuæ."

His Funeral Sermon was preached by Bishop Buckeridge. He was buried in the "Ladye Chapel" of St. Saviour's, Southwark. His monument has been recently restored by the Merchant Taylors' Company.—Born, 1555. Left School, 1571. Died, 1626.

The Chapel at Pembroke he built entirely at his own expense, and left a Manor to keep it in repair.

Lord Clarendon describes Bishop Wren, as "a man of a severe, sour nature, but very learned, and particularly versed in the old Liturgies of the Greek and Latin Churches." The Scottish Liturgy and Canons, when framed, were to be submitted to Laud, Juxon, and Wren. Collier tells us in his Ecclesiastical History, that "Juxon, (at that time Bishop of London), being Lord High Treasurer, was too busily engaged to give the requisite attention, so that the work was left to Laud and Wren."

John Evelyn writes thus in his Diary, February 10, 1661, "Dr. Balden preached at Ely House, on Mathew vi., verse 33, of "seeking early the kingdom of God; after sermon, the Bishop (Dr. Wren) gave us the blessing very pontifically."—Born, 1586. Left School, 1600. Died, 1667.

John Evelyn writes thus in his Diary, 1659, December 9, "I supped with Mr. Gunning; it being our Fast-day, Dr. Fearne, Mr. Thusco, Mr. Chamberlain, Dr. Henchman, Dr. Wild, and other devout and learned Divines, firm confessors and excellent persons. Note. Most of them since made Bishops."—Born, 1610. Left School, 1628. Died, 1665.

MS. note in Earl Powys' copy of Le Neve's book."

Allhallows' parish lies at the foot of Suffolk Lane. Very likely, if this story is true, the bishop was at the parish school before he went to Merchant Taylors.'— Born, 1691. Left School, 1710. Died, 1766. (fn. 6)

Edmund Spenser, the author of the "Faerie Queene," the friend of Sir Philip Sidney and Sir Walter Raleigh, was one of the earliest scholars. Born at East Smithfield in 1553, he is supposed to have entered the School before admissions were recorded—or at least preserved, that is before the 1st July 1562; and it is to the recent investigation of Mr. R. B. Knowles, of the Historical Manuscripts Commission, that we are indebted for establishing the fact. (fn. 9)

A frequent visitor to the School immediately after its establishment, was Dean Nowell, of St. Paul's, (fn. 10) and in the executorship accounts of his brother Robert, of Gray's Inn (who died in 1569), the following items appear:—

"'Gownes geven to certeyn poor scholler[s] of the scholls aboute London, in number 32, viz.; St Paul's, Merchant Taylors, St. Anthony's Schole, St. Saviour's grammer Schole, and Westminster School. Cost of cloth with^t making, xixli. xs. vijd.' First on the list of scholars of Merchant Taylors who received these gifts stands—'Edmunde Spenser.'"

Spenser entered Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, as a siser in May 1569, and the next entry identifies the School boy with the Pembroke student:—

" At folio 71, under the heading 'Geven to poor schollers of dyvers gramare scholles,' there is this entry, dated the 28th of April 1569:—

"'To Edmond Spensore, scholler of the M^rchante Tayler schollers at his gowinge to Penbrocke Hall, in Chambridge, x^s.'"

" And it is followed by two others which show the poet still in the position of a 'poor scholler':—

"1. '7 Novembris 1570.—To Richard Langher and Edmond Spenser, towe poore scholars of Pembrock haule, vj^s a peace, in a whole xij^s, by the hands of Mr. Thom^as New, felow of the same howse.' (Folio 75.)

" 2. 'To Edmonde Spensere the xxiiij^th of Aprill, A^o 1571, ij^s vj^d.' (Folio 72.)" Spenser left school 1569, took his Degree of B.A. in 1572–3, and his M.A. in 1576, and died 16th January 1596.
