The Pepys Library (Classic Reprint)

Of Cambridge than of Oxford'. Then'to a College rather than the 'publick Library'. Then (assuming Cambridge) to Trinity or Magdalene, and 'rather in the latter for the Sake of my own and nephews Education therein'. If in Trinity 'to have communication with the new [wren] Library there. And if in Magdalen that it be in the new building there, and any part thereof at my nephews election. That my said Library be continued in its present form and noe other books mixt therewith. 12.t And that for a yet further Security herein the said two Colleges of Trinity and Magdalen have a Reciprocal Check upon one another. And that the College which shall be in present possession of the said Library be subject to an Annual visitation from the other and to the forfeiture thereof to the like possession and Use of the other upon Conviction of any breach of their said Covenants. S. Pepys.' We have no record that Trinity has exercised this right of inspection.
