From Bushell's own collection, and possibly in his hand. On both sides of a piece of light-blue paper, 27 x 22 cm. Text clear and complete. Fair, on aged paper, with four labels from previous mounting (one with small closed tear) on the reverse. A delightful item, casting light on the social history of Victorian Cambridge. Thirty-six lines in couplets. Written from the point of view of Bushell's 'gyp' (college servant). Begins 'Oh! listen to me now all ye who give anyone the slip. | To the troubles of a Cambridge man, a careful hardworked gyp.' The story goes that Bushell ('one of my young gentlemen') leaves, saying he is 'only going to make a call a little way from town': 'And sure he couldn't stay, without so much as a nightgown) | I lit his fire, boiled his kettle, & set him out his tea, | And waited then as patiently as anything could be'. Night comes, and as Bushell has not returned, the gyp 'left his fire bright & clear & his moderator burning'. The gyp goes to bed, and dreams that Bushell has been murdered, and that 'I had his body found, | And that he had such a funeral, everybody was in tears, | Lamenting the brave Captain of the Johnian Volunteers.' The next morning he finds no one in Bushells room, and exclaims 'This is a go, I'll ask Mr Hadley now'. Bushell, who has been mountaineering, appears 'on Saturday at one o'clock'. The last four lines read 'But thinks I to myself I do, this comes of foreigneers, | And this is what they learns abroad, when they are mountaineers, | They dispense with the comfort & necessities of life, | And he'll never think of them no more till he gets himself a wife.' a "gyp" was a college servant. Bushell received his B.A. in 1861.

4pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. A long and interesting letter, describing in detail his position on his election as Cambridge Professor of Divinity. He begins by thanking him for writing, adding: 'You can imagine that we are feeling just now quite beside ourselves.' He agrees with him that 'the Professorship is a great responsibility to a layman'. He continues: 'The Heads have elected me, knowing that their choice represents a definite endorsement of what may be called in newspapers "free, advanced criticism". I am therefore all the more anxious not to be rash and as much as possible to gain the sympathy of those who have the welfare of the Christian Church at heart.' In his opinion 'the real danger is that Cambridge tends to become predominantly secular with a little stream of religion running through it, but not covering the ground'. He has occasionally 'heard complaints that the Theological Students the ordinary ones, not perhaps the clever ones get a little Biblical criticism, but nothing to carry them through in the world'. He has confidence that the 'Old Testament part' is safe in the hands of Professor of Hebrew R. H. Kennett, 'but what is wanted is to apply the Christian part of theological learning to present day problems a kind of marriage between erudition & religion'. He is uncertain of his own ability to 'do anything towards this', 'but at least I see the crying need of translating the formulae of Christian theology into the language which is used to-day out of doors, outside the Church doors. The work won't be done by drawing a ring-fence round the N. T. or round the Gospels or even round the Person of our Lord.' He has confidence that if 'Christianity is fundamentally true, it will digest & transform the current philosophy as it did the Aristotelianism of the Middle Ages.' He thanks Bushell's wife on his own behalf and that of 'Perch', adding that he has 'written over ninety letters, besides drawing up a long Report to the V. C. on Palaeographical Teaching in this University'.
