From the letters of this tutor we gather the following miscellaneous facts : Winter quarters were more expensive than others, and the "excessive rate of things" made it difficult for the youth, though studiously inclined, to keep within his "stint" or allowance. The rent of his chamber, to be divided between himself and his chamber-fellow, was only 12s. a year, and 7s. 4d. supplied him with coal and candles from the end of long vacation till the beginning of March...
