Summary

‘Advice to a Young Student. With a Method of Study for the Four First Years.’ 1706—40.

This Scheme was drawn up by Daniel Waterland for his pupils at Magdalene College Cambridge, about 1706, when he was dean and tutor. The latter office he continued to hold even after he was advanced to the Mastership in 1713. It was printed piratically, in the Republick of Letters for December, 1729.

I have a copy of the Authorized ‘Second Edition’ (anonymous) 8vo. pp. 32. Printed for J. Crownfield, 1730.

Another edition came out in 1740, which is printed among Waterland's Works vi. 299—324 (Van Mildert); the lapse of time having required some change in the text books, &c., recommended.

[I have indicated some of the alterations suggested by the edition of 1740 by square brackets, and others in the foot-notes]

The tract of which I give a summary was intended to serve as a Student's Guide to supplement tutorial advice and to encourage method in study.
