By tiie ^runificencc of His Majesty, and of tlic Britidi Parliament, in addition to tile liberal Support of the Lcgillalure of the l»rovin-e, a fpacious and eonveni(Mif. Building was erected in 179S, at Windfor, in Nova Scotia ; where many yonng j\ie:i have already completed their Studies. I$ut as the Funds of the Coliige werclnade- quate to the Purchafe of a fullicicnt Library, many Contributions in Books and Monty were received lad Year for tliis Purpofe, under tl'ie Patronage of his Grace the Arch- biihop of Canterbury, and the Bithops of London and Roeheltcr. His Majesty has been fince gracioully pleafed lo grant Ills Royal Cuartkk, dated letii ^fay 1802, for founding and incorporating the faid College, i)y ibe Nanu- and Style of " The Governors, Prelident, and Fellows of King's College at Windfoi-. " in Nova Scotia," for the Kducation of Youth in the Principles of true Religion, and for their Infiruaion in the dlflerent Branches of Science and Literature. w"hieh arc taugiit al the Univcrfitics in tliis Tnited Kingdom. It muft be particularly gratifying toevery Friend of his Country, to find that the Munificence which has diftingiiiniccl IJis M ajesty's Reign, is tlius extended to the rcmoteft Provinces of His Dominions. The genuine Patriot, the fincere Clniftian, and the Lover of Ciaflical and Polite Literature and the Sciences, will rejoice to fee the Blcflings ol' the Mollier Country communicated to the diitant Hegions of North America; and from the lilitablithmcnt of tliis infant College, which, it is hoped, may hereafter become, as the Charter ex- l)rc(rcsit,«TheMoTni;u of an UMVEUSITY," will anticipate the mod imporlant and beneficial Eflwls; tlic general Ditfuhon of found Learning, the Promotion of every liberal Art and Science, and, above all, the firm Support of the Clniftian Religion, as I'loi'eficd and laugiil by v.wv lieformed F.pifcopal Church. i:.>:pericnce has abundantly proved, that as Nations advance in Wealth and Luxury, 111 Commerce and the Art i, Tir.tlis, the inoR nniverfally received and the moll highly icfi)cctcd, arc apt gradually to Jote their I^iiimution : Hence the I ie of Articled of I'ailh; hence thu \'a!ue of Schools and Colleges, and other li-anud loundations; I..M1CC the \ a!:ic pV the InfUtulion for which we prcfuine to foHcit the Public Support.
