Jeremy Bentham in Queen's College, Oxford - 5 May, 1763

from Letter from Jeremy Bentham to Jeremiah Bentham, 6 May 1763, page 73:

Yesterday being Thanksgiving day we had very grand doings here. The Vice-Chancellor read prayers, in the Course of which we had Purcell’s Deum perform’d by a band of Musick in the Organ-loft as well as the other Services: after which we had an excellent Discourse from (you may guess whom when you are inform’d that the Vice Chancellor had the appointment of the Preacher) Mr. Jefferson; […] the whole Service was concluded with Handel’s Coronation Anthem; in the Evening we had Fire-works play’d off; the expences defray’d by Subscription.
