About this book
Cambridge Papers is a book by W. W. Rouse Ball. The preface says the volume contains papers on some questions of local history, put together mostly for undergraduate societies and magazines. The preface also says the author has included a memoir on Newton's Principia, written for a London Society.
The text says that on the outbreak of civil war the town was occupied by the parliamentary forces, with troops quartered in the College and a good deal of damage done to the fabric. The text names George Herbert, Abraham Cowley and Andrew Marvell among three or four of the students of the time who later deservedly acquired reputation as poets. The text says that public opinion ultimately permitted Mr Tripos to say pretty much what he pleased, so long as it was not dull and was scandalous.
