[1876]

 this city by the well-considered munificence of 

 Johns Hopkins commenees to-morrow, and among 

 the many marks of confidence and good-will which 

 have been bestowed upon me in the United States,

 conferred by the authorities of the University 

 when they invited me to deliver an address on such

 handed over to an administrative body, hampered 



* Delivered at the formal openinc: of the Johns Hopkins 

 University at Baltimore, U. S.. September 12. The total 

 amount bequeathed by Johns Hopkins is more than 7.000.- 

 000 dollars. The suni of 3,500.000 dollars is appropriated 

 to a university, a like sum to a hospital, and the rest to local 

 institutions of education and charity.
