Abstract
In An Apology for the Life of Mr Colley Cibber (1740), the actor and playwright recalls his failure to gain a place at Winchester College:
About the Year 1687, I was taken from School to stand at the Election of Children into Winchester College; my being, by my Mother’s side, a Descendent of William of Wickham, the Founder, my Father (who knew little how the World was to be dealt with) imagined my having that Advantage, would be Security enough for my Success, and so sent me simply down thither, without the least favourable Recommendation or Interest, but that of my naked Merit, and a pompous Pedigree in my Pocket.
