Title	Sir Henry FitzHerbert to his son, William: is very anxious to hear all about William's first days at Cambridge; "it will be quite necessary, my dear William, that you should read Stanyan's `Grecian History' ... if you find your easy chair too seductive ... discharge the offender immediately ... your classical dictionary should be constantly on your table and often consulted Begin immediately my dear William, with habits of regularity and exertion. I do not mean that prodigous and extraordinary exertion which a horse is obliged to make ... for the St. Ledger, but that calm and regular energy, sufficient to enable you to pursue the regular course of the study of the College ... Pray do not neglect to attend the sacrament when it is administered in your own chapel. Have you got a bible? if not, pray get one immediately ..."
