STONYHURST SCIENTIFIC ESTABLISHMENT. 



When the French entered Liege, the gentlemen of the 

 seminary at that place were forced to make a precipitate re- 

 treat, abandoning a large establishment, together with a 

 valuable library and a fine collection of mathematical instru- 

 ments. Having since found an asylum in this country, they 

 have formed an establishment at Stonyhurst, where they are 

 making a laudable attempt to introduce the sciences, in their 

 improved state, into their common course of education. As 

 a first step, a handsome room for a library and another for 

 mathematical apparatus have been built, to which it is in- 

 tended to add a chemical laboratory as soon as possible. 



As the arrangements of the building appear to us to unite 

 much in a small space, we are happy in being enabled to 

 present our readers with an engraving of the ground plan, 

 (see Plate XII.) which may prove useful to those who pro- 

 ject similar establishments. 



It is not doubted that the gentlemen at Stonyhurst will 

 not only be soon enabled to finish the erection of their 

 bud 'hug, but to procure the books and instruments neces- 

 sary to the perfecting of their undertaking — a very liberal 

 subscription having been procured among the friends to their 

 establishment. 



Among other respectable names in the list of contributors 

 we observe the duke of Northumberland's for 100/. ; the 

 marquis of Buckingham subscribes 5oL, the earl of St. 

 Vincent bi)L, and the earl of Moira 50/., Sec. &c.

 has been so fortunate as to obtain plants, which have grown
