 It will always give Lord Cathcart very great satisfaction to 
 bear his testimony to ICr. Lundy's very ni^ merits and quali- 
 fications as a Clerg3rman, for any preferment which may be 
 within his reach, founded upon the personal knowledge of 
 Mr. Lundy's chai^cter and attainments, which Lord Cathcart 
 had the opportunity of acquiring during th6 period of his official 
 employment in Canada, in wM(^ country Mr. Lundy IVasl^n 
 a resident, and at which time Lord Cathcart Was mtfch in- 
 debted to Mr. Lundy for the instructions he was kind enough 
 to give to some of ue younger members of Lord Cathcart's 
 family, with much benefit to them, and to Lord Cathcart's 
 perfect satisfaction.

 Rev. F. J. Lundy, York. 
 
 Li 1836 Mr. Limdy was selected by the present Bish(m of 
 Quebec, then the Bishop of Montreal, out otseveral candidates 
 to be Head Master of the "Quebec Classical School." 
 
 In 1842 he was unanimously elected by the Governors of the 
 XJniTetsity of McGill College, at Montreal, Professor of 
 Classical Literature, and Vice Principal of that Institution.

 My Lord, 
 
 University College, March 21, 1836. 
 
 Understanding that Mr, Lundy of this College is a candi- 
 date for the Mastership of a school in your Lordship's appoint- 
 ment, I think it due to him to bear my testimony to the 
 imdeviating regularity and correctness of his conduct during 
 his residence here — and can with great truth add that his 
 gentlemanly manners and kindness of disposition are well 
 suited for the office which he is desirous to obtain. His 
 scholarship also, though not of the first rate, I consider as fully 
 adequate to the instruction of any youths who may be com- 
 mitted to Mb care, 
 
 I have the honor to be, 
 
 Your Lordship's 
 Most obedient servant, 
 (Signed,) G. KOWLEY, Master, 
 
 The foregoing is a true cox)y from the original, addressed to 
 me by the Rev. Dr. Rowley. 
 
 The statement that Mr. Limdy's scholarship is "not of the 
 first rate" is perhaps liable to be misunderstood. The expres- 
 sion refers, I apprehend, technically, to the^r^^ cIosb of honors 
 at the time cl taking degrees. Men who attain this very high 
 distinction bie only to be detached from the University by 
 some extraordinary inducement.

 Testimonial from the Rev, Br, Plumptre, late Dean^ now

 My Lord, 
 
 Having been informed that Mr. Francis Lundy is a candi- 
 date for the situation of Master of a School, about to be 
 established at Quebec, I beg leave respectfully to submit to 
 your Lordship the following testimonial in his behalf. 
 
 Mr. Lundy has been resident with us for nearly three years, 
 during which I have had more opportunities of forming an es- 
 timate of his character, than I usually have of young men, 
 when at College. I can most conscientiously assure your 
 Lordship that to the best of my belief his conduct during that 
 period was uniformly steady, correct and becoming a gentieman 
 —and I believe his principles to be sound. His temper is good

 ning an es- 
 ^oung men, 
 assure your 
 during that 
 a genUeman 
 nper is good 
 
 and generous. Though Mr. Lundy had not the advantage of 
 being educated at one of our great public schools, yet he was 
 brought up at one sufficienuy large to make him well ac- 
 quainted with the system upon which a school should be 
 conducted — ^I belieye he has already had some slight experi- 
 ment in teaching boys, as he had the charge of a school for 
 about six weeks during the illness of a friend — his attainments 
 are veiy respectable, and I should think fully adequate to the 
 nature of the charge, as far as I have been informed — I feel 
 persuaded that Mr. Lundy will spare no pains to merit the 
 approbation of your Lordslup, and of the parents of the boys 
 who may be intrusted to his charge. 
 
 I have the honor to be, my Lord, 
 
 Your Lordship's most obedient servant,

 Thursday, 30th August, 1842. 
 My dear Sir, 
 
 Being made aware of your intention to become a candidate 
 for the Professorship of Classical Literature in McGill College, 
 I cannot but consider that the eminent service you have ren- 
 dered the public, by superintending and managing a Classical 
 School, at this place, for some years past, ought to operate as a 
 great recommendation in your favor, in the estimate which may 
 be made of your pretensions, with those of other candidates. 
 As one of the original subscribers to your School, and as having 
 felt a continued interest in its success, from having supjjlied 
 two of its scholars, from my own family, I have been particu- 
 larly conversant with your great merit in the establishment 
 and management of this useful Institutioui and have much 
 satisfaction in bearing testimony, as well as in expressing a 
 strong hope, that your deserts and services may render your 
 application for the Professorship now adverted to, successful; 
 being with great regard, 
 
 My dear Sir. 
 Yours, very sincerely,

 for such a char^^e. This charge he has, accordiiigly, been, ever

 of success. He has numMred among his pupils my own son,

 As you have done me the honor to request that I would 
 express my opinion of your merits as a Teacher and a Scholar, 
 almuugh in no way authorized by my own acqtiirements to 
 speak on such a subject, y t I most readily assure you that, 
 when the course of political events, in the year 1838, oUiged 
 me to remove my family from Quebec to Montreal, it was not 
 one of my least regrets that I should thereby lose the advantage 
 of your tuition to my little boy, who had been with you a few 
 months, and had made more progress in his studies imder you, 
 than I could have anticipated.

 Dear Sir, 
 
 tTnderstanding that you are a candidate for the Classical 
 Professorship in McGill College, I am anxious to bear testi- 
 mony to your qualiilcations to fill that or any other similar 
 situation destined for the instruction of the higher branches of 
 classical literature. Having had my eldest boy Frank, for 
 more than a twelvemonth in your Classical School at Quebec, 
 and both him and my other son Geoi^e previously in the pre- 
 paratory School for another year, I have had an opportunity 
 of jud^ng of your capacity in this respect, and I have no hesi- 
 tation in recommending you as fully qualified in talent and

 you should be nominated to fill that office,

 My Dear Lundy, 
 
 Understanding that you intend offering yourself as a can- 
 didate for the Froi6ssorship of Classical literature in McGill 
 College, -will you allow me to add my testimonial to those which 
 you have already received in Quebec. One of my sons has 
 been under your tuition since the period of your arrival in 
 Canada, and during that period I have never had cause to be 
 dissatisfied with the Institution of which you are Principal, 
 either as regarded the system of instruction adopted by you, or 
 the mode of its being carried into effect — I can therefore sin- 
 cerely say that it is a subject of regret to me that there should 
 be a prospect of so valuable an Institution being broken up by 
 Y or removal from Quebec. 
 
 If, however, you prove successful r>nd obtain the office, for 
 which you have every qualification, it will be satisfactory to 
 reflect that your services will not be lost to the Province ; but 
 that, transferred to a higher seminary of learning, the interests 
 of education will be benefitted in a two fold degree by the en- 
 larged sphere for exertion which will then be opened to you, 
 
 Believe me, dear Lundy,

 I have the pleasure of writing you this letter by the 
 Keverend F. J. Lundy, who is head master of the Quebec 
 Classical School and Pastor of our Chiurch at New Liverpool, 
 and is going to Montreal this evening, to make application for 
 the Professorship of Classical Literature in McGill College, for 
 which he is considered highly competent, and canies with 
 him ample testimonies. He was chosen by the Lord Bishop of 
 Montreal at the University of Oxford to imdertake his present 
 charge here, and has sent from his school several distingidshed 
 Classical scholars. He has had charge of three of my boys for 
 the last six years and has taken the greatest interest in their 
 studies and advancement, and I have every reason to be satis- 
 fied with his attention to them, and his ability and knowledge 
 as a Classical Scholar. 
 I hope therefore that he may satisfy the Commissioners and 
 
10 
 
 obtain the Professorship, and shall feel thankful to you for 
 every assistance you can give him.

 that I have had the pleasure of knowing you for the last six 
 years, during which my boys have been under your tuition and 
 have therefore had opportunities of judging of your capabilities

 My dear Sir, 
 
 It would have given me most sincere pleasure to have used 
 any influence I might have possessed in your favor, in your 
 endeavor to obtain the Classical Professorship of MoOill College, 
 a situation which thoitgh inferior in emrlument to your present 
 one, would have afforded scope for abilities and acquirements, 
 very far beyond the narrow sphere in which they are now ex- 
 ercised. Unfortunately I possess no influence whatever with 
 those in whose bands is placed the nomiaation, and fear that 
 my humble testi mony to your extensive and elegant Classical 
 knowledge will carry little weight with it ; for although as a 
 graduate of Trinity College, Dublin, I did once possess some 
 little claim to classical lore, so narty years have elapsed since 
 that happy period of my life, tiiat i may well be supposed to 
 imskilled in Classical Literature, and unfit to pronounce an

 opinion on the qualificationB of others. If my opinion however 
 can be of any service to you, I can have no hesitation in saying 
 that I know no one better qualified to discharee the duties of 
 Classical Professor of any College than yourseu, and however 
 I may regret your proposed departure ^om amongst us, it will 
 give me sincere pleasure to hear that you hav9 been appointed 
 to that honorable ojfficei

 College, I cannot but hope that you will be successful in your

 Governors of thiE* College, while your attainments of which I 
 judge by the proficiency made by my son, will add to the use- 
 fulness of the Institution. 
 
 As one of the gentlemen who in 1836 made the experiment 
 of establishing a Classical Institution, I beg to bear testimony 
 to the success which has attendedit imder yoiur superintendance,

 From Oeorg* Futvoy$t Etq.t in charge of the Educational 
 
 Commienon, 
 
 Having attended the examination of the pupils of the 
 Quebec Classical School, and very closely examined them as 
 to their proficiency in the various branches to which thei; 
 attention has been directed during the past year, I have plea- 
 sure in certifying that the dear and ready answers given to all 
 questions put by niyself, as well as by the Bishop of Montreal, 
 and the Rev. Dr. wilkie, by whom I was kindlv assisted, 
 afford evidence that no pains have been spared by the masters 
 to impart information in the manner best calculated to ensure 
 success. 
 
 Their accurate translation of the Latin and Greek Classics, 
 proves the pupils to have been well disciplined in the time de- 
 voted to the acquisition of the most important part, a sound 
 knowledge af the principles of the languages. 
 
 In my occasionial visits to this establishment, I have had an 
 opportunity to question the pupils priratelv and I am satisfied 
 that the too frequently practised system of drilling for public 
 examination has not been resorted to. 
 
 The Principal, the Beverend F. J. Lundy, is in my opinion, 
 well qualified in every respect, to superintend such an institu- 
 tion; his judicious and systematic method of teaching fully 
 satisfy me of his competency as an Instructor. 
 
 I consider the Proprietors particularly fortunate in havinfc 
 engaged a gentlemen so well suited to raise and fix the charac- 
 ter of the establishment, and I trust, at length, to bring it to 
 occupy such a standing among the the Educational Institutions 
 of the Province, as may remove the necessity of sending the 
 youth of this City, to a foreign country to complete their 
 education.

 Since I had the pleasure of making your acquaintance in

 regret at the prospect of losing you, from the manner in which 
 your School has been conducted here, its high toned system of 
 moral and religious instruction, the improvement of your Pupils 
 and the universal satisfaction expressed by the Parents, as well 
 I as your own peculiar adaptation, from your estensivt Classical 
 I and scientific acqiiirements, to fill the vacant Chair, I can hardly 
 doubt that you will be elected ; indeed I do not think there is 
 any person with whom I am acquainted capable of filling it in 
 this country but yourself. I wish you every success, and take 
 this opportunity of returning you my thanks for the attention 
 1 bestowed on my boy, and the progress he has made, which is 
 i greater than I could have hoped for. With kind regards to 
 Mrs. Ltmdy, and a tender of my services here where uiey caa

 qualifications as a conductor of a Classical School, I have great 
 pleasure in stating my conviction, that you are highly qualified

 of education, and should you ever be placed in a more public 
 situation, f which it would give me great pleasure to see,) I feel
