manufacturing and agricultural population had been fortified with the principles which are now instilled in these schools, into the children of the poor, the success of the teachers of infidelity and sedition would have been far different from what it has unfortunately proved. The system of instruction adopted in King’s College is precisely the one which has been recommended as alone affording any security that education will be rendered conducive to the advancement of the best, the eternal interests of man. Every facility is afforded for the acquisition of knowledge, but the relative importance of its several departments is steadily kept in view, and the balance of studies is carefully adjusted, that, if possible, none may be pursued to the neglect of others, but all receiving their due degree of attention, religion and morals, literature and science, may occupy their proper place in the plan of education. This institution, through the Divine blessing, may be of great value in checking the progress of unsettled and unsound opinions amongst a class of men which is daily becoming more influential in society; whilst there will be also a better safeguard for the future, in the foundation of sound religious principles, which is designed to be laid; and which should ever be a primary object, for not only is the prevention easier than the cure, but the poison may spread where the antidote is never, or fruitlessly, applied. If we view then in connexion, our Infant, National, and Sunday Schools, in full operation; King’s College adapted to branch into similar institutions in our great towns; and our old-established Grammar Schools and Universities continuing to flourish; we shall see that these are calculated to form one vast chain, which, in its concatenation, would unite the great bulk of the population of the country with the established Church.
