PREFACE<br />
THE UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY was incorporated by an Act <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Colonial Legislature, which received the Royal Assent on the<br />
9th December, 1851. <strong>The</strong> objects set forth in the preamble are—<br />
" the advancement <strong>of</strong> religion and morality, and the promotion <strong>of</strong><br />
useful knowledge." It is empowered to confer degrees in Arts,<br />
Law, and Medicine; and is endowed with the annual income <strong>of</strong><br />
£5000.<br />
By a Royal Charter issued 7th February, 1858 (see p. 16), the<br />
same rank, style, and precedence were granted to Graduates <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Sydney</strong> as are enjoyed by Graduates <strong>of</strong> Universities<br />
within the United Kingdom. <strong>The</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Sydney</strong> is also<br />
declared in the amended Charter granted to the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
London, to be one <strong>of</strong> the institutions in connection with that<br />
<strong>University</strong>, from which certificates <strong>of</strong> having pursued a due course<br />
<strong>of</strong> instruction shall be received, with a view to admission to<br />
Degrees.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Government <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong> is vested in a Senate, consisting<br />
<strong>of</strong> sixteen Fellows, who select from their own body a<br />
Provost and Vice-Provost. Vacancies will be filled up by the<br />
Fellows themselves until there are one hundred Graduates<br />
entitled to vote, upon whom, thereafter, the right <strong>of</strong> election will<br />
devolve.<br />
Under the peculiar circumstances <strong>of</strong> the Colony, it was judged<br />
expedient to establish at first the Faculty <strong>of</strong> Arts alone, before<br />
attempting those which are specially devoted to the pr<strong>of</strong>essions <strong>of</strong><br />
Medicine and Law. <strong>The</strong> curriculum for the degree <strong>of</strong> B.A. includes<br />
the Classical Languages; History, modern and ancient;<br />
Logic and Moral Philosophy ; Mathematics and Natural Phi-<br />
c
14 PREFACE.<br />
losophy; Chemistry and Experimental Physics. <strong>The</strong> teaching <strong>of</strong><br />
the Faculty <strong>of</strong> Arts, in addition to these subjects, will embrace<br />
Mental and Political Philosophy; Natural History, comprising<br />
Mineralogy and Geology ; Botany and Zoology; the French and<br />
German Languages and Literature.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Faculty <strong>of</strong> Medicine has since been established, and a<br />
Board <strong>of</strong> Examiners has been appointed by the Senate to test<br />
the qualifications <strong>of</strong> Candidates for Medical Degrees.<br />
<strong>The</strong> immediate direction <strong>of</strong> the studies in each Faculty is<br />
entrusted to a Board <strong>of</strong> the Pr<strong>of</strong>essors in that Faculty; and<br />
questions relating to the general studies are decided (subject to<br />
the approval <strong>of</strong> the Senate) by a Board consisting <strong>of</strong> the Provost,<br />
Vice-Provost, and all the Pr<strong>of</strong>essors, the Dean <strong>of</strong> the Faculty <strong>of</strong><br />
Arts being ex-<strong>of</strong>ficio Chairman.<br />
<strong>The</strong> maintenance <strong>of</strong> discipline is provided for by the appointment<br />
<strong>of</strong> a Board styled the Proctorial Board, and composed <strong>of</strong><br />
the Provost, the Vice-Provost, the Senior Pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> Classics,<br />
the Senior Pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> Mathematics, and the Senior Pr<strong>of</strong>essor<br />
<strong>of</strong> Chemistry and Experimental Physics. Subject to the general<br />
control <strong>of</strong> the Senate, this Board is empowered to make Rules<br />
for the due observance <strong>of</strong> order, and to visit insubordination and<br />
irregularity with fines or other ordinary Academic punishments.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Lectures <strong>of</strong> the Pr<strong>of</strong>essors are open to persons not members<br />
<strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong> upon payment <strong>of</strong> a moderate fee for each<br />
course.<br />
<strong>The</strong> distinctive character <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Sydney</strong> <strong>University</strong> is the<br />
absence <strong>of</strong> any religious test as a condition <strong>of</strong> Membership, <strong>of</strong><br />
honor, or <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice ; it is intended to supply the means <strong>of</strong> a liberal<br />
education to " all orders and denominations without any distinction<br />
whatever:" it possesses no <strong>The</strong>ological Faculty, but<br />
resembles, in respect <strong>of</strong> its Secular Faculties, the Universities <strong>of</strong><br />
the Continent, and Edinburgh, and <strong>of</strong> Oxford and Cambridge, as<br />
reformed by the late Act <strong>of</strong> Parliament.
PREFACE. 15<br />
Although the comprehensive principles on which the <strong>University</strong><br />
is founded do not admit <strong>of</strong> the establishment <strong>of</strong> a <strong>The</strong>ological<br />
Faculty, the importance <strong>of</strong> religion as an element <strong>of</strong><br />
education is fully recognized. With a special view to this<br />
object, Government has granted to the Senate a valuable building<br />
site <strong>of</strong> about 130 acres, upon which, in addition to the<br />
<strong>University</strong> buildings, it is proposed to erect Colleges, wherein<br />
the academical secular teaching may be supplemented at will by<br />
the dogmatical instruction and discipline <strong>of</strong> the several Churches<br />
into which the community is divided.<br />
An Act to encourage the erection <strong>of</strong> such Colleges was passed<br />
by the Legislature during the Session <strong>of</strong> 1854. Ample assistance<br />
is <strong>of</strong>fered towards their endowment; and with an enlightened<br />
liberality the maintenance <strong>of</strong> the fundamental principle <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>University</strong>—the association <strong>of</strong> Students, loithout respect <strong>of</strong> religious<br />
creeds, im, the cultivation <strong>of</strong> secular knowledge—is secured consistently<br />
with the most perfect independence <strong>of</strong> the College<br />
authorities within their own walls. Colleges in connection with<br />
the Church <strong>of</strong> Englaud, and also in connection with the Roman<br />
Catholic Church, have been established.<br />
Under the Fifteenth Clause <strong>of</strong> the Electoral Act, 22nd Victoria,<br />
No. 20, the <strong>University</strong> is entitled to return one Member to<br />
Parliament, when it shall contain one hundred graduates who<br />
have taken the Degree <strong>of</strong> Master <strong>of</strong> Arts, or any higher degree.<br />
An account <strong>of</strong> the several Scholarships and other Prizes for<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>iciency which have been established out <strong>of</strong> the Funds <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>University</strong>, or have been founded by Private Benefactions, will<br />
be found in this <strong>Calendar</strong>.

WldotXU, by the Grace <strong>of</strong> God <strong>of</strong> the United Kingdom <strong>of</strong><br />
Great Britain and Ireland, Queen, Defender <strong>of</strong> the Faith, To<br />
all to whom these presents shall come greeting: WHEKEAS<br />
under and by virtue <strong>of</strong> the provisions <strong>of</strong> an Act <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Governor and Legislative Council <strong>of</strong> our Colony <strong>of</strong> New<br />
South Wales, passed in the fourteenth year <strong>of</strong> our reign,<br />
No. 31, intituled " An Act to Incorporate and Endow the<br />
<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Sydney</strong>, and to which our Royal assent was<br />
granted on the ninth day <strong>of</strong> December, One Thousand Eight<br />
Hundred and Fifty One, a Senate consisting <strong>of</strong> sixteen Fellows<br />
was incorporated and made a body politic with perpetual<br />
succession, under the name <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Sydney</strong>, with<br />
power to grant, after examination, the several degrees <strong>of</strong><br />
Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Arts, Master <strong>of</strong> Arts, Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Laws, Doctor<br />
<strong>of</strong> Laws, Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Medicine, and Doctor <strong>of</strong> Medicine, and<br />
to Examine for Medical Degrees in the four branches <strong>of</strong><br />
Medicine, Surgery, Midwifery, and Pharmacy. AND<br />
WHEKEAS our trusty and well beloved Sir William Thomas<br />
Denison, Knight, Commander <strong>of</strong> our most honorable Order<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Bath, Lieutenant-Colonel in the Royal Engineers, our<br />
Captain-General and Governor-in-Chief in and over our said<br />
Colony, has transmitted to us the humble petition <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Senate <strong>of</strong> the said <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Sydney</strong> under their common<br />
seal, dated the ninth day <strong>of</strong> February, One Thousand Eight<br />
Hundred and Fifty Seven, wherein is set forth a statement <strong>of</strong><br />
the establishment <strong>of</strong> the said <strong>University</strong>, the appointment <strong>of</strong><br />
learned Pr<strong>of</strong>essors <strong>of</strong> the Faculty <strong>of</strong> Arts, and the Provisions
ROYAL CHARTER. 17<br />
adopted and to be adopted in respect to the Faculties <strong>of</strong><br />
Laws and Medicine and the course <strong>of</strong> Education and<br />
Discipline for the Scholars, Undergraduates, and Graduates<br />
<strong>of</strong> the said <strong>University</strong>, and in which it is humbly submitted<br />
that the standard <strong>of</strong> acquirements which must be attained by<br />
Graduates in the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Sydney</strong>, is not below that<br />
prescribed by the most learned Universities <strong>of</strong> the United<br />
Kingdom, that the direction <strong>of</strong> the studies in the said<br />
<strong>University</strong> has been committed to Pr<strong>of</strong>essors who have highly<br />
distinguished themselves in British Universities, that the<br />
Rules under which the high standard in the <strong>University</strong> has<br />
been fixed, cannot be altered without the approval <strong>of</strong> our<br />
representative in the Colony, and that there is vested in<br />
him the power <strong>of</strong> interference should the Rules laid down be<br />
unduly relaxed in practice, and that therefore the Memorialists<br />
confidently hope that the Graduates <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Sydney</strong> will not be inferior in scholastic acquirements to<br />
the majority <strong>of</strong> Graduates <strong>of</strong> British Universities. And that<br />
it is desirable to have the Degrees <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Sydney</strong> generally recognized throughout our Dominions.<br />
And it is also humbly submitted that although our Royal<br />
assent to the Act <strong>of</strong> the Legislature <strong>of</strong> New South Wales<br />
hereinbefore recited fully satisfies the principle <strong>of</strong> our law<br />
that the power <strong>of</strong> granting Degrees should flow from the<br />
Crown, yet that as that assent was conveyed through an Act<br />
which has effect only in the territory <strong>of</strong> New South Wales,<br />
the memorialists believe that the Degrees granted by the said<br />
<strong>University</strong>, under the authority <strong>of</strong> the said Act are not legally<br />
entitled to recognition beyond the limits <strong>of</strong> New South Wales.<br />
And that the memorialists are in consequence most desirous<br />
to obtain a Grant from us <strong>of</strong> Letters Patent requiring all our<br />
subjects to recognize the Degrees given under the Act <strong>of</strong> the<br />
local Legislature in the same manner as if the said <strong>University</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Sydney</strong> bad been an <strong>University</strong> established within the<br />
United Kingdom under a Royal Charter or an Imperial<br />
enactment: And the memorialists therefore hereby most<br />
humbly pray that we will be pleased to take the premises into<br />
our gracious consideration and grant to the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong>
18 ROYAL CHARTER.<br />
<strong>Sydney</strong> Letters Patent effective <strong>of</strong> the object therein set forth.<br />
Now KNOW YE that we, taking the premises into consideration<br />
and deeming it to be the duty <strong>of</strong> our Royal Office for<br />
the advancement <strong>of</strong> religion and morality and the promotion<br />
<strong>of</strong> useful knowledge to hold forth to all classes and denominations<br />
<strong>of</strong> our faithful subjects without any distinction whatsoever<br />
throughout our dominions encouragement for pursuing<br />
a regular and liberal course <strong>of</strong> Education, and considering<br />
that many persons do prosecute and complete their studies in<br />
the Colony <strong>of</strong> New South Wales on whom it is just to confer<br />
such distinctions and rewards as may induce them to<br />
persevere in their laudable pursuits, Do by virtue <strong>of</strong> our<br />
Prerogative Royal and <strong>of</strong> our especial Grace and certain<br />
knowledge and mere motion by these presents for us, our<br />
heirs and successors, will, grant and declare that the<br />
Degrees <strong>of</strong> Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Arts, Master <strong>of</strong> Arts, Bachelor <strong>of</strong><br />
Laws, Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Medicine, and Doctor <strong>of</strong> Medicine, already<br />
granted or conferred or hereafter to be granted or conferred<br />
by the Senate <strong>of</strong> the said <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Sydney</strong> shall be<br />
recognized as Academic distinctions and rewards <strong>of</strong> merit,<br />
and be entitled to rank5 precedence, and consideration in<br />
our United Kingdom and in our Colonies and possessions<br />
throughout the world as fully as if the said Degrees had been<br />
granted by any <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> our said United Kingdom.<br />
And we further will and ordain that any variation <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Constitution <strong>of</strong> the said <strong>University</strong> which may at any time or<br />
from time to time be made by an Act <strong>of</strong> the said Governor<br />
and Legislature shall not so long as the same or the like<br />
standard <strong>of</strong> knowledge is in the opinion <strong>of</strong> the said Governor<br />
preserved as a necessary condition for obtaining the aforesaid<br />
Degrees therein in any manner annul, abrogate, circumscribe,<br />
or diminish the privileges conferred on the said <strong>University</strong>,<br />
by these our Royal Letters Patent, nor the rank, rights,<br />
privileges, and consideration conferred by such Degrees.<br />
And lastly we do hereby for us our heirs and successors grant<br />
and declare that these our Letters Patent or the enrolment or<br />
exemplification there<strong>of</strong> shall be in and by all things valid and<br />
effectual in law according to the true intent and meaning <strong>of</strong>

the same, and shall be construed and adjudged in the most<br />
favorable and beneficial sense <strong>of</strong> the best advantage <strong>of</strong> the<br />
said <strong>University</strong> as well in all our courts elsewhere, notwithstanding<br />
any non-recital, uncertainty, or imperfection in these<br />
our Letters Patent. IN WITNESS where<strong>of</strong> we have caused<br />
these our Letters to be made Patent.<br />

5.—LEVEY SCHOLARSHIP.<br />
<strong>The</strong> sum <strong>of</strong> £500 was bequeathed by Solomon Levey, Esquire,<br />
to the <strong>Sydney</strong> College, which had been established by a certain<br />
number <strong>of</strong> Subscribers forming a Joint Stock Company for the<br />
purpose <strong>of</strong> imparting the rudiments <strong>of</strong> a liberal education to the<br />
youth <strong>of</strong> the Colony. <strong>The</strong> direction <strong>of</strong> Mr. Levey in respect to<br />
this bequest was that the amount should be invested in the purchase<br />
<strong>of</strong> shares in the College, and that the annual income arising<br />
therefrom should be applied towards the education <strong>of</strong> Orphan<br />
Boys at the discretion <strong>of</strong> the Trustees <strong>of</strong> the College.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Sydney</strong> College having failed in its object, the Shareholders<br />
were empowered by an Act <strong>of</strong> the Legislature passed in 1853, to<br />
sell to the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Sydney</strong> the Land in Hyde Park, which<br />
had been granted by the Government as a site for the College<br />
with the buildings and all other property belonging to the College,<br />
including Mr. Levey's bequest. This sale having been effected<br />
accordingly in the same year, it was resolved by the Senate <strong>of</strong><br />
the <strong>University</strong>, that Mr. Levey's bequest which they had acquired<br />
should be devoted to the foundation <strong>of</strong> a Scholarship to be called<br />
the Levey Scholarship, but that the principal, which then, with<br />
accrued interest, amounted to £565, should be allowed to accumulate<br />
further before its actual application to the intended object.<br />
<strong>The</strong> principal is now represented by seven Government Debentures<br />
<strong>of</strong> £100 each, bearing interest at the rate <strong>of</strong> 5 per cent.<br />

REPORT<br />
U N I V E R S I T Y OF S Y D N E Y ,<br />
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31si DECEMBER, 1860.<br />
1. <strong>The</strong> Senate <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Sydney</strong>, in accordance<br />
with the provisions <strong>of</strong> the 22nd clause <strong>of</strong> the Act <strong>of</strong> Incorporation,<br />
14 Vic, No. 31, have the honor to submit, for the information<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Governor and Executive Council, the following<br />
Report <strong>of</strong> their Proceedings during the year 1860.<br />
2. Twenty-two Students were admitted to Matriculation in<br />
the <strong>University</strong>, after having passed the preliminary examination.<br />
3. Eight Students who had completed the <strong>University</strong> course,<br />
extending over a period <strong>of</strong> three years, and had passed the statutory<br />
examination, were admitted to the Degree <strong>of</strong> Bachelor <strong>of</strong><br />
Arts.<br />
4. <strong>The</strong> Degree <strong>of</strong> Master <strong>of</strong> Arts was conferred on one member<br />
<strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong> who had obtained, previously, the Degree<br />
<strong>of</strong> Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Arts, and had complied with the requirements <strong>of</strong><br />
the By-laws.<br />
5. In the competition for Scholarships, the successful candidates<br />
were:—<br />
BARKER SCHOLARSHIP (for Mathematical Science):—<br />
Cecil Bedford Stephen.<br />
DEAS THOMSON SCHOLARSHIP (for Physical Science) :—<br />
Cecil Bedford Stephen.
REPORT. 121<br />
GENERAL, UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIPS (for general pr<strong>of</strong>iciency):—<br />
Third year:— Cecil Bedford Stephen.<br />
C Samuel Walker Griffith.<br />
First year:— < Charles Stuart Mein.<br />
(. Charles Edward Robertson Murray.<br />
<strong>The</strong> SALTING EXHIBITION (devoted to a Student proceeding<br />
from the <strong>Sydney</strong> Grammar School to the <strong>University</strong>) was awarded<br />
to Charles Stuart Mein.<br />
6. Vacancies were caused in the Senate by the resignation<br />
<strong>of</strong> Mr. Alfred Denison and Mr. James Macarthur on the occasion<br />
<strong>of</strong> their departure for Europe. Mr. William Charles Wentworth<br />
was elected to fill the seat vacated by Mr. Denison, and Sir<br />
William Macarthur was elected to the other seat.<br />
7. <strong>The</strong> Senate have much pleasure in recording a further<br />
instance <strong>of</strong> the munificence <strong>of</strong> the Provost, Sir Charles Nicholson,<br />
to whose personal exertions and liberality the <strong>University</strong> already<br />
owes so much, viz., the donation <strong>of</strong> his large and valuable collection<br />
<strong>of</strong> Etruscan, Greek, Roman, and Egyptian Antiquities.<br />
<strong>The</strong> means <strong>of</strong> establishing a Museum having been thus secured,<br />
the Senate, with a view to render the objects contained in it<br />
accessible to all members <strong>of</strong> the community and to enable the<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>essors to avail themselves <strong>of</strong> their aid in the illustration <strong>of</strong><br />
the classical lectures, prepared three rooms in the southern end<br />
<strong>of</strong> the building for their reception. Mr. Edward Reeve has been<br />
appointed Curator <strong>of</strong> Museum, and a catalogue <strong>of</strong> the antiquities<br />
is in course <strong>of</strong> preparation.<br />
8. <strong>The</strong> Senate are unable to report much progress in the<br />
building during the past year. <strong>The</strong> completion <strong>of</strong> the battlements<br />
<strong>of</strong> the tower has been deferred, the money reserved for<br />
that purpose being required for the Museum. <strong>The</strong> building,<br />
however, has been rendered in all respects pro<strong>of</strong> against the<br />
weather.<br />
9. With a view to enable persons who may have taken the
122 REPORT.<br />
Degree <strong>of</strong> Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Arts, or an equivalent first Degree in Arts<br />
in any <strong>University</strong> in the United Kingdom, or in Melbourne, to<br />
proceed to the higher Degree <strong>of</strong> Master <strong>of</strong> Arts in this <strong>University</strong>,<br />
the Senate, by virtue <strong>of</strong> the powers vested in them by the<br />
13th clause <strong>of</strong> the Act <strong>of</strong> Incorporation, have passed a By-law to<br />
enable them to confer that Degree, after examination, under<br />
certain conditions. This By-law, a copy <strong>of</strong> which is appended<br />
to this Report, has been approved <strong>of</strong> by the Governor and<br />
Executive Council.<br />
10. A By-law to enable the Senate to confer the Degree <strong>of</strong><br />
Doctor <strong>of</strong> Medicine, after examination, under circumstances<br />
similar to the foregoing, has also received the assent <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Governor-General. (A copy <strong>of</strong> this By-law is appended.)<br />
11. A further By-law has been passed, repealing the By-law<br />
relating to Matriculation, in so far as the time <strong>of</strong> payment <strong>of</strong> the<br />
fee is concerned. Hitherto a candidate for Matriculation was<br />
required to pay a fee <strong>of</strong> two pounds previously to admission to<br />
examination. <strong>The</strong> payment <strong>of</strong> the fee under this By-law is<br />
deferred until after the examination and approval <strong>of</strong> the candidate<br />
by the examiners. Inasmuch as, at the present time, the<br />
examination for Scholarships <strong>of</strong> the first year is coincident with<br />
that for Matriculation, persons whose hopes for securing an <strong>University</strong><br />
education depend upon the successful issue <strong>of</strong> their<br />
examination, are, in case <strong>of</strong> failure, exempt from any pecuniary<br />
loss. (A copy <strong>of</strong> this By-law is appended.)<br />
12. Leave <strong>of</strong> absence for one year has been granted to Pr<strong>of</strong>essor<br />
Smith, to enable him to proceed to Europe. In addition<br />
to considerations <strong>of</strong> health, the desirability <strong>of</strong> a visit to the principal<br />
laboratories <strong>of</strong> Europe, and <strong>of</strong> personal intercourse with<br />
their eminent conductors ; and, further, the opportunity presented<br />
for purchasing apparatus for the Chemical Department <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>University</strong>, induced the Senate to concede that leave. Provision<br />
for the fulfilment <strong>of</strong> the duties <strong>of</strong> the Chemical Classes has been
RE PORT. 123<br />
made by the appointment <strong>of</strong> Mr. Charles Watt, as to whose<br />
ability to perform the work entrusted to him, the Senate have<br />
received ample assurance.<br />
13. An account <strong>of</strong> the Receipts and Expenditure <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong>,<br />
during the past year is appended.<br />
<strong>The</strong> foregoing Report was adopted at a meeting <strong>of</strong> the Senate<br />
held on the 15th February, 1861, and ordered to be transmitted<br />
to the Honorable the Colonial Secretary, for presentation to the<br />
Governor and Executive Council and the Parliament, in pursuance<br />
<strong>of</strong> the 22nd section <strong>of</strong> the Act <strong>of</strong> Incorporation, 14 Vict.,<br />
No. 31.<br />
(Signed) HUGH KENNEDY,<br />

FIBST AND SECOND YEARS.<br />
This last letter <strong>of</strong> yours has so distressed me, that I can<br />
hardly summon courage to reply to it. Alas, my dear Hubert,<br />
it is possible that you are unhappy, when you are admired and<br />
loved by every man who has a spark <strong>of</strong> goodness in him ? If it-<br />
were anything in your private concerns which thus -disturbs you,<br />
I should beg and beseech you, by the love I bear to you, and by<br />
our sworn friendship, which I shall cherish as long as I live, to<br />
let your advancing age repose on my affection (true, it has not<br />
much power, yet inclination <strong>of</strong> itself may effect something) ; and<br />
be assured that there is nothing I call my own to which you have<br />
not by the same title a prior claim. But as I have long known<br />
your strength <strong>of</strong> mind, and as I perceive from this very letter<br />
that your grief arises from the state <strong>of</strong> the good cause, and your<br />

the defence <strong>of</strong> the Romans, and have maintained that some at<br />
least among them have deserved to be preferred to the best <strong>of</strong><br />
the Greeks. But the greatest men have instituted a more accurate<br />
comparison, and have most energetically asserted on behalf <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Greeks their old claim to the highest honours. <strong>The</strong>y have not<br />
only compared the Greeks and Romans in the aggregate, but<br />
have contrasted the chief writers <strong>of</strong> both, and have thus established<br />
the undoubted superiority <strong>of</strong> Greek over Roman literature.<br />
To me it seems that there are two causes which account for this :<br />
first, the early commencement and long continuance <strong>of</strong> literary<br />
activity among the Greeks; and secondly, the advantage which<br />
the Greeks derived from the literary competitions <strong>of</strong> their public<br />
