EATON-COLLEGE, (Buckinghamshire) separated from Windsor by a woodenbridge over the Thames, was founded by Hen. VI. for the maintenance of a provost and 7 fellows, one of whom is vice-provost, and for the instruction of 70 K's. scholars, (as these are called who are on the foundation) who, when fit, are elected, on the first Tu. in August, to K's. Coll. Cambridge, where they are provided for by scholarships and fellowships; but they are not removed till vacancies fall in the college, and then they are called according to seniority. The school is divided into upper and lower, and each into three classes. There is a master to each school, and 4 assistants or ushers to each master, there being seldom less than 300 scholars here, besides those on the foundation, who board at the masters houses, or elsewhere within the college bounds. After the students have been 3 years on the foundation at Cambridge, they claim a fellowship. In the great court is a fine statue, put up to the honour of the founder, by the late provost, Dr. Godolphin dean of St. Paul's. The revenue of this college is about 5000 l. a year. Here is a noble library, enriched by the late Ld. C.J. Reeves, who chiefly resided at this place, with the fine collection of books left him by Richard Topham, Esq; keeper of the records in the Tower; and with another collection before that, left by Dr. Waddington Bp. of Chester, valued at 2000 l.
