THE ARUNDEL MARBLES are on the north-side of the square of the Schools; these were given to the University by the Duke of Norfolk, then Lord Howard, in 1677. Of these Marbles we have been favoured with the following account, given by the late Rev. John Price, many years head Librarian of the Bodleian Library, to Mr. Cowderoy, who shews the Picture Gallery and Library :

66 Thomas, Earl of Arundel and Surry, Lord “ Marshal of England, sent William Petty into - Asia, to search for some curious monuments “ of antiquity, where he bought those which we 66 call the Arundel Marbles, of a Turk, who os had taken them from a learned man, sent by “ the famous Peiresc into Greece and Asia, “ upon the same design. These precious Mar“ bles were placed in the Earl's house and gar“dens, upon the banks of the Thames. Selden “ wrote a book of what they contained in 1629, “ which has been a great help to D. Petau, “ Saumaise, Vossius, and several learned men, 6 in their works. · These ancient Marbles dis

cover several things, both concerning the his“ tory and chronology of the Greeks. Amongst “the epochas, marked in them, there are three “ very particular, viz. the 9th, which they - reckoned from the arrival of the first ship " out of Egypt into Greece, and 1512 years “ before the birth of Christ; the 12th, which “ they counted from the time that Ceres came " to Athens, in Erechtheus's reign; and the 66 40th, from the day that comedies began to be " acted at Athens, according to Susarion's in66 vention, Apother of these Marbles shews * what gave occasion to the Fable of the Cen“ taurs, viz, hunting the wild Bull, first in“ vented by the Thessalians: they also furnish " us with several other curious observations, as “ that the custom of burning bodies was laid " aside in Macrobius's time; and that none “ but emperors, vestals, and men of special

note, were suffered to have their tombs within " the walls of Rome.”

Here are also the antique Marbles given by the executors of the learned Selden. Opposite the entrance to the Bodleian is the Logic and Moral Philosophy School, which contains the marbles, statues, busts, &c. presented to the University in 1755, by the Countess Dowager of Pomfret, of which the following is a list :

Opposite to the gateway of five Orders, is the entrance to the

DIVINITY SCHOOL.

This fine room was completed in 1480; it displays an example of rich Gothic masonry that has few rivals. Sir Christopher Wren was employed, in the beginning of the last century, to repair and restore its splendid stone roof; and he executed the work with that skill and judgment which distinguished all his undertakings. Opposite the Divinity School stands

OF THE THEATRE. This fine edifice, which is one of the principal ornaments of Oxford, was designed and completed in five years, by one of the Professors, the great Sir Christopher Wren, who from being the most profound mathematician of his age, became its first architect. The first stone of it was laid in 1664, and the whole expense of building and fitting it up was defrayed by Archbishop Sheldon, amounting to nearly fifteen thousand pounds. He added two thousand pounds to be laid out in estates for its support
