Reference Code: GBR/0268/CCCC03/20
Scope and Contents
The oration would have been printed in memory of Booth who died on 7 Feb. 1642/3 and was a benefactor to the college leaving an annuity which was, among other things, to reward the two scholars who made the best Gunpowder Plot oration each year (see 10/17).
Dugard also asks whether there are any other works of Booth suitable for the press.
It does not appear that the oration was ever printed.
