THE present volume contains Grace Book Γ, the third of the Grace Books preserved in the Registry of the University. The earlier Grace Books, A and B, have already appeared, in three volumes, in the series published in commemoration of Henry Richards Luard, D.D., Fellow of Trinity College, and Registrary of the University from 1862 to 1891, but, as the present and future volumes will be published by the Syndics of the Cambridge University Press instead of by the Cambridge Antiquarian Society, the connection with Dr Luard's name will no longer be maintained.

The text has been printed from a transcript made by Mr A. Rogers of the University Library, collated with the original by the Editor, the Reverend William George Searle, M.A., formerly Fellow of Queens' College.

The first part of the Introduction, concluding with the new list of Proctors, has been written by Mr Searle; the remainder by myself.

I wish to draw particular attention to the Indices, which are entirely the work of Mr Searle.
