 to my best wishes for success in life.

 for the appointment of Classical Mast( • at School. 
 
 I have much satisfaction in complyini; with his wisli, and 
 stating the high opinion which I formed of his abilities and 
 acquirements durin^r the time he was in residence at 
 Brascnoso when I was tutor, lie is a man of strong clear 
 sense, quick in apprehension, and of good memory. lie 
 has read extensively, and was a very fair scholar ; but 
 history and science were his strong points. I aiways 
 thought him a very likely man to bo placed in the first 
 class. In character and conduct ho was irreproachable. 
 
 Should you think fit to nominate him, I am sure you will 
 gain the assistance of a very zealous and cfricient masrter. 
 
 I remain, dear Sir, 
 
 Your's faithfully,

 for two terms before his examination. He is a very good 
 scholar ; shewed great ability In the subjects which he read 
 with me (Ethics and Logic), is very quick in apprehension, 
 and possesses, I should think, a ve- j extensive memory.

 From Brasenose College. 
 Brascnose College, Oxford, Juno 5, 1852. 
 
 "We have much pleasure in bearing testimony in favor of 
 Mr. John Ambery, B.A., of Brasenose College, who is about 
 to offer himself a candidate for the Second Mastership of 
 
 . For four years Mr. Ambery Avas a pupil of the 
 
 Vice-Principal, and since his appointment to an llulmian 
 Exhibition, he has attended the lectures on that foundation. 
 
 His conduct during that time Avas marked by uniform 
 regularity, diligence, and correctness. 
 
 On presenting himself for examination in Easter Terra, 
 1850, he was referred by the examiners to the second class 
 in Literis Ilumanioribus, which may be considered a suffi- 
 cient evidence of his attainments in classical literature. 
 His scholarship is sound, and taste in translation considera- 
 ble. Since taking his degree he has read with private 
 pupils, and must have had some experience in imparting 
 knowledge to others. 
 
 We have no doubt that ho would be found a ready and 
 able assistant in carrying out any system of instruction and 
 d.sciplinc which he might be called upon to support. And 
 if he should succeed in obtaining the appointment for which 
 he is a candidate, we feel sure tliat there will be no reason 
 to regret the selection.

 the Second Classical Mastership in the School at . 
 
 I have great pleasure in hearing testimony to his fitness foi' 
 such an appointment. I have been acquainted with him for 
 many years, daring which time he has enjoyed a high repu- 
 tation in respect both of attainments and unimpeachable 
 moral character. His career at the University was em! 
 nently successful; he frequently obtained the first place in 
 the college examinations, and his position in the class list 
 was highly ere itable. Since he took his degree, he has 
 had considerable experience as a private tutor, and has 
 been, 1 believe, very successful with his pupils 
 
 Should you decide upon electing him, I have no doubt 
 that his devotion to the duties of his office will be such as to 
 satisfy your highest expectations.

 Gentlemen, ''"''^'^' '^' '^^'^^-"'^^'^'^ ^^^^• 
 
 I am happy to bear testimony to the manv 
 very valuable qualities which Mr. Ambery /ossesses, and 
 which eminently fit him for the post at ~L for Jvhicli 
 I understand he is now a candidate. ' 
 
 
11 
 
 He has been a Classical Master in the college for two 
 years, and during that time he shewed the greatest possible 
 interest in and zeal for the advance and well-doing of his 
 pupils in every respect. 
 
 I am sure he is the man to spare no pains in fulfilling the 
 duties which may devolve upon him. 
 
 llis abilities and powers are borne witness to by his class 
 at Oxford; but during a personal friendship and acquaintance 
 which I have enjoyed with him, ever since he has b'^en at 
 Bradfield, I have learnt to consider that his degree does not 
 do him justice. He is an accurate and complete scholar, 
 well acquainted with history and its kindred subjects, and is 
 fully fitted, I should say, to undertake the teaching of boys, 
 whatever may be their attainments or prospects. 
 
 ^ I may add that we are very sorry to lose him, and that 
 his own ill-health (which was caused, I believe, from circum- 
 stances peculiar to the work here) alone deprived us of his 
 services. And I sincerely believe that he will form a most 
 valuable acquisition to any school over which he may be 
 placed.

 Rodland, Bristol, February 5, 1855. 
 Gentlemen, 
 
 Understanding that Mr. Ambery is a can- 
 didate for the Head Mastership of the Grammar School now 
 at your disposal, I gladly avail myself of the opportunity of 
 bearing my testimony to his fitness for that post, on such 
 points as I feel myself qualified to judge. 
 
 Mr. Ambery's familiar acquaintance with classical litera- 
 ture, acquired by assiduous and praiseworthy study during 
 
12 
 
 a longer residence at Oxford (both before and after taking 
 his degree) than falls to the lot of most men, and his sound 
 scholarship, evinced by the distinctions there gained by him, 
 arc "well known, and I have no doubt; will be duly laid before 
 you ; but the points in Mr. Ambory's character to wliich I 
 would urge your notice as having fallen under my own ob- 
 servation at Bradficld are, unfailing patience and kindness, 
 excellent judgment, and great consistency of character. 
 These qualities ever gained for him the respect, confidence, 
 and regard of his pupils, and will, I feel confident, render 
 hira a popular as well as successful schoolmaster. 
 
 I have the honor to be, 
 Gentlemen, 
 
 Yours most obediently, 
 
 George Ogilvie. 
 
 From thellev. David Morton Bulley, Fellotv ofCaius College,

 Gentlemen, 
 
 I have much pleasure in testifying to the 
 qualifications of the Rev. John Ambery, M.A., of Brasenosc 
 College, Oxford, for the Head Mastership of the Grammar 
 School at ■ — • . 
 
 The University honors he obtained at his degree, however 
 good in themselves, certainly fail to convey an adequate Idea 
 of the taste, elegance, accuracy, and extent of his classical 
 scholarship. 
 
 His experience also in tuition for nearly three years as 
 a private tutor in Oxford, and since then in the School 
 at Bradfield, supplies another essential recommendation. 
 In the latter post I had daily opportunities of observing 
 the very excellent manner in Avhich he performed his 
 duties, no less by his success in imparting knowledge, than 
 by the happy manner in which he combined the preservation 
 of strict discipline with a firm hold on the affections of his 
 pupils.

 13 
 
 Mr. Ambery'g knowledge of mathematics is also amply 
 sufficient for the routine of any school, and his acquaintance- 
 with modern literature very considerable. 
 
 On these grounds, combined with the high personal 
 character of Mr. Ambery, I am enabled to recommend him 
 as most eminently fitted to discharge the duties of the post 
 for which he is a candidate, and to fully maintain the reputa- 
 tion of the school. 
 
 I have the honor to be, 
 Gentlemen, 
 Your most obedient servant,

 VVc hereby certify that the Reverend John Ambery, M.A 
 has discharged the duties of Professor of Classics in Trinity 
 College since March, 1856, and that ho now contemplates 
 relinquishing that appointment in consequence of private 
 arrangements of his own. 
 
 We can speak in very high terms both of his attainments 
 ftnd of his moral character, and we also know that con- 
 smerabl^ experience in tuition at home has qualified him 
 for the office which he is now seeking.

 Toronto, Nov. 29, 1858. 
 The Reverend John Ambery, M. A., has been associated 
 With me, smcc the mouth of March, 1856, in the conduct 
 
14 
 
 of Trinity College, having held during that time the oflico 
 of Professor of Classics. I have great pleasure in bearing 
 my testimony to the cordial cooperation which I have always 
 received from him, both in carrying out our system of instruc- 
 tion, and in the maintenance of discipline. I greatly regret 
 that his intention of marrying obliges Mr. Ambery to relin- 
 quish his appointment in the College, as -we have always 
 worked together most satisfactorily, and as I have good 
 reason to appreciate highly the services which he has ren- 
 dered to the institution. 
 
 Should he obtain the appointment which he now seeks, I 
 am satisfied that he will discharge its duties with great effi- 
 ciency, and that, in his management of boys, he will discover 
 a firmness blended with kindness which will secure to Iiim at 
 once their respect and affection.
