On the 10th of March, Queen Anne was proclaimed by the University about two in the afternoon, and by the Mayor and Aldermen about three. On the 12th, she was proclaimed by the Sheriff of the county.
The accession of Queen Anne and the death of William III. were commemorated by the publication of a collection of poems entitled “Academiæ Cantabrigiensis Carmina quibus decedenti Augustissi-“mo Regi Wilhelmo III. parentat; et succedenti optimis auspiciis “serenissimæ Reginæ Annæ gratulatur.” Amongst the authors were Thomas Richardson Vicechancellor, John Covel Master of Christ's College, Thomas Green Master of Corpus Christi College afterwards Bishop of Ely, Joshua Barnes of Emmanuel College, Roger Gale of Trinity College, Francis Hare of King's College afterwards Bishop of Chichester, Thomas Rymer of Queens' College, Arthur Ashley Sykes of Corpus Christi College, and Peter Allix of Queens' College afterwards Dean of Ely.
The following address from the University was presented to the Queen by the Duke of Somerset Chancellor, the Archbishop of Canterbury and several other Bishops, with many of the Heads, scholars, and other clergy and gentlemen of the University:—
MAY IT PLEASE YOUR MOST SACRED MAJESTY,
We your Majesty's most dutiful & Loyal Subjects, the Chancellor, Masters, and Scholars, of your University of Cambridge, who were deeply afflicted at the death of our late Sovereign King William, of most glorious Memory, humbly beg leave to express our hearty sorrow on that sad occasion;, and at the same time with unfeigned duty and affection to congratulate your Majesty's happy Accession to the Throne of your Royal Ancestors; by which alone so great a loss could be and is effectually repair'd.
