NICHOLAS STREKT. 184.5. TESTIMONIALS. '(^ Testimonial from the Rev. Dr. Rowley, late Master of Univer- sity College, Oxford. University College, March 21, 1836. My Lorp, 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 unde- viating regularity and correctness of his conduct during his resi- dence here — and can witli 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 instruc- tion of any youths who may be committed to his care, I have the honor to be. Your Lordship's Most obedient servant (Signed,) G. Rowiet, Master. The foregoing is a true copy from the original, addressed to me by the Rev. Dr. Rowley. The statement that Mr. Lundy's scholarship is " not of the first rate" is perhaps liable to be misunderstood. The expression refers, I apprehend, technically, to the ^rst class of honors at the time of taking degrees. Men who attain this very high dis- tinction are only to be detached from the University by some extraordinary inducement. {Signed,) J. G. MONTREAL. Marshmont, 12th July, 1840. 224-1 Testimonial from the Rev. Dr. Plumptre, late Dean, noiv Mus- ter of University College, Oxford. My Loki), Iliivin;; been informed that Mr. Francis Lundy is a candi- date tor the situation of Master of a School, about to be estab- lished at Quebec, I beg leave respectfully to submit to your Lordsliip the following testimonial in his behalf. Mr. Lundy lias been resident witli us for nearly three years, during wjjich 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 unlforndy steady, correct and becoming a gentleman — and I be- lieve his principles to be sound. His temper is good and gene- rous. Though Mr. Lundy had not the advantage of being edu- cated at one of our great public schools, yet he was brought up at one sulliciently large to make him well acquainted with the system upon which a school should be conducted — I believe he has already had some slight experiment in teaching boys, as he had the charge of a school for about six weeks during the illness of a friend — his attainments are very respectable, and I should think fully adequate to the nature of the charge, as far as I have been informed — I feeT persuaded that Mr. Lundy will spare no pains to merit the approbation of your Lordship, and of the pa- rents of tlie boys who may be intrusted to his charge, I have the honor to be, my Lord Your Lordship's most obedient servant, (Signed,) F. C. PLUMPTRE. Tutor and Dean of University College, (now Master.) University College, Oxford, March 21st, 1836. TTic foregoing is a true copy from the original, addressed to me by the Rev.

As one of the original subscribers to your Scliool, and as havin"- felt a continued interest in its success, from liaving supplied two of its scholars, from my own family, I liave been particularly conversant with your great merit in the establishment anj management of this useful Institution, and have much satisfi-.c- tion in bearing testimony, as well as in expressing a strong he pe, that your deserts and services may render your application for the Professorship now adverted to, successful; t>eing with Tcat regard, My dear Sir, Yours, very sincerely, {Signed,) J.

It would Iiave given me most sincere pleasure to have used any influence I might have possessed in your favor, in your en- deavor to ohtain the Classical Professorship of McGill College, a situation wldch though inferior in emolument to your present one, would imve afforded scope for abilities and acquire- mcnts, very far beyond the narrow sphere in which they are now exercised. Unfortunately I possess no inflnc-nce whatever with those in whose hand.s is placed the nomination, and I fear that my humble testimony 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 many years have elapsed since that happy period of my life, tliat I may well be supposed to be unskilled in Classical Literature and unht to pronounce an opinion on the rpialifications of others. If my opinion however can be of any service to you, I can luue no hesitation in saying that I know no one better qualified to discharge the duties of Classical Professor of any College than yourself, and however I may regret your proposed dejiarture from amongst us, it will give me sincere pleasure to hear that you have been appointed to that honorable ofhee, I remain, my Dear Sir, With sincere esteem, yours faithfully, {Signed,) G.

Since! I had the pleasure of making your acquaintance in 1836, the period at which you opened the Classical School in Quebec, I, as a parent of two boys who have been at the School, have had much reason to congratulate myself, that thoy should have had tlie good fortune to have been placed under your tuition, from the kind manner, ability, and zeal with which you discharged the important trust confided in yon, not only towards my sons, but generally to all the boys, and the great progress they have made proves that your labour and arduous duty has not been in vain. While I hope you may attain the Chair to which you aspire, and from your ability and qualifications I know not of any person who can produce so strong a claim, I cannot withhold ex- pressing my regret that the community will meet with a loss in you as an Instructor of youth, that I fear that we shall never be able to replace.
