Note 124b — NOTES ON PARISHES ROUND HORNCASTLE. (continued 3)
Reading edition
The term “exhibition” is equivalent to maintenance; Edward was evidently studying for “the Bar,” and this was provision for him until he should be able to “practice at the Bar,” as counsel in legal suits. The term exhibition is still used at the Universities, along with “scholarship,” for certain allowances, which are granted to students, after examination, to aid them in their University course.
