Before I proceed to unimaieyon, in the prosecntion «»l'>oMr sindilc tribute of tiianks to all, Tvithont exception, for th:it «le»Tee of kindness, of civility, ot re- gard and re!:peet, which yon have on all occasions tnanifcstcd, whilst 1 endeavored to unfold, illustrate and explain the principles of »»cieiK'e. To your able and assiduous Teacher, you are tieeply in- iTNbted, for that love oMearnin«j, that d( sire of improvement, that anibilion ot excelltncr, which you have displayed. Permit me to say, tliaf your acquirements in Grammar, Com- posiiion, Writino^ and Arithujetic, the principles of Geography, History and Astronomy, are not Mirpassed by any Ladies ot'this Province, of the same stiUidinjj:. Your advancement has been pro- gressive, creditable and meritorious. If you are of opinion upon mature and deliberate refleclion, that I have not nen^lected your in- terests, you can represent my conduct to my worthy friends, whose names are prefixed, v^ho may be able to procure for ine some per« manent situation. 0>^^^0'>0— = The powers and faculties of mankind were bestowed by an all vise Creator, for ti:e b« st, wisest and noblest purposes. It is there- fore your duty, as well as interest to cultivate them to the bestadvan* ♦age. They were confi rred upon yen, for your improvement in knowled-hted with the toys of childhood. The individual who can calcu- late the perioiical revolutions of the planets and their distances once < ornmonced the simple rules of arithmetic and the first principles of riumhors. Hence we lay it down as an axion, asa fact whicli can* not he called in question, that from the zeal an 1 ardour any of you shall evince, in the pursuit of science, it is not only probahle, but al- so apparent, also demonstrable, that the greater attainment will be made in that particular branch of knowledge, to which your atten- tion shall be directed. Who has not heard of tlic fame of Handel ? Did this celebrated individual excel in music ? His whole ambition was exerted in the acquisition of emiticnce, and his memory is transmitte4 to posterity ,a3 liavine; acquired and merited just applause, fame and renown. Who has not heard of Sir Isaac Newton, the Philosopher, the botst and pride of man ? With what assiduity, ardour, zeal and energy did he persevere in the attainment of science ? Where is the difficulty, which exertion will not surmount ?— Where is the danger which fortitude will not brave ? Where is the obstacle in the pursuit of knowledge which assiduity will not conquer .'* It is a f|uestion which remains to be determined, whether the exer- tions of genius and talent have done more to promote the advance- ment of sdience, than the united and combined auxiliaries of perse- verence, industry and aplication. Without assiduity, without labour, without exertion, without the cultivation of those talents, with which we are endowed, we shall not attain erninence and distinction There is perhaps a gradual scale of mental power, of mental ability possessed by mortals. All have wisely allotted them their diflerrnt pursuits, and all may perhaps be enabled to brave and conquer those difficulties and barriers to which they are subjected, in the attainment of knowledge. How then, shall I animate, inspire and hivigorate you to make ad- vancement in knowledge, in science, in literature ? How shall 1 im- press upon you the advantages you possess ? How shall 1 incite you to eminence and superiority ? Let mc place before you examples of > I clislinctlon fjr your imitation. Let me hold up to view, those indivi- duals, who have acquired lor themselves anan»eand mMnoral, more valuable than gold, more permanent than the wealth of the possessions of the world. Miss Edgeworth has beaulifully depicted virtue and vice in their true and genuine colours. The poetry of Mr«. Hemans, is sublime, beautiful and aflfectinjy.
