Note 273 — Chapter XI
Reading edition
Dell's Trial of Spirits, noticed in Godwin's Commonwealth, iv. 97.
If we are to believe Carter, History of University, p. 232, Dell did not practically carry out his liberal principles, for Carter says: Moore, fellow of Caius, and keeper of the University Library, desired to be buried in his own College-chapel; but being refused by Mr. Dell, the master, the use of the Liturgy, which was his last request, he was laid in St. Mary's church, under the stone he used to kneel on. Moore spent seven years in making a catalogue of the library (see Book Rarities of Cambridge, by Hartshorne, p. 16.) Work of that kind Dell would not appreciate.
