When Charles Henry Cooper (1808 66) undertook to revise the text of
the 1841 Memorials of Cambridge, illustrated by the engraver John
Le Keux (1783 1846), he was under the impression that 'only a
slight amount of labour' would be imposed on him. However, this
three-volume work was altered and modified so extensively that it
may be considered as entirely re-written. Containing over 250
photographs, engravings and etchings, Volumes 1 and 2 of the work
are a comprehensive guide to the Cambridge colleges, while Volume 3
is almost entirely concerned with the history of other landmarks
throughout the city, such as the Fitzwilliam Museum, the Guildhall
and the Botanic Garden. It was published in 1860, just six years
before Cooper's death, and stands as a detailed and fully
illustrated guide to Cambridge at that time. Volume 1, dealing with
the colleges in order of their foundation, covers Peterhouse to
Jesus.
