Queen's Coll. April. 19.th 1764.
Dear Bentham,
I have receiv'd your letter, & with
regard to the first & second articles of it, would advise
you to be in Oxford the very beginning of the next term.
The term itself is but 5 weeks long, & it is a very
common thing to meet with many delays, about convocations,
& I dont know what myself, before you can
be admitted to your degree. If you stay to keep the law
term, which I see by the almanack does not begin
till the ninth of May, you may probably come too
late for your degree: but if you are here by the beginning
of our term, you may read your lectures, take your
degree, & return to London time enough to keep the
term there. This is my opinion of the matter, but,
as a worthy gentleman of our acquaintance says,
You must do as you please; if you dont like this,
you must take another method.
Exordium. In congratulating yourself on
the happy occasion of returning this public thanks
for all favours — Next comes General flummery,
or a panegyric on the college, & learned fellows belonging
to it. - Then Particular flummery. 1st
to the Provost, commending his learning, his diligence,
his conduct, in the offices both of Vice chancellor,
& head of the college. 2dy to your Tutor, to
whom your thanks & praises are particularly due
