Charles Henry Cooper charted over half a millennium of life at
Cambridge in the five volumes of Annals of Cambridge. Cooper
practised as a solicitor in Cambridge, and was also town clerk from
1849 until his death in 1866. He was a keen historian and devoted a
great deal of time to archival research, particularly into local
history. Drawing on extensive public and private records, including
petitions, town treasurers' accounts, restoration records, death
certificates, legal articles and letters to ruling royalty, Cooper
compiled a comprehensive chronological history of Cambridge,
documenting the 'city of scholars' through its tumultuous political
and religious growing pains. It was published in parts, in the face
of considerable opposition from the university authorities, but was
eventually acclaimed as an authoritative account. This second
volume, published in 1843, covers the Elizabethan period, from 1546
1601, and includes the founding of the University Press.
