scientific mind, and through it, on the material welfare of 

 the country, than any other six Englishmen now living whom 

 I can remember. Each of these men has devoted himself 

 specially, from early life, to the pursuit of one depart- 

 ment of knowledge; and yet, through the means of that one 

 study, his mind (educated by that one phase of it) has re-

" I should certainly add English history, Euclid and one 

 of the natural sciences to the subjects which he mentions. 

 The latter is particularly important, as calling out the faculty 

 of observation, which is scarcely done either by a training 

 in literature or in abstract science." — Rev. G. E. L. Cotton. 



" A man may not be a much better postman for being 

 able to draw, or being acquainted with natural history; but 

 he who in that rank possesses these acquirements has given 

 evidence of qualities which it is important for the general 

 cultivation of the mass that the state should take every fair 

 opportunity of stamping with its approbation." — John 

 Stuart Mill.

 se, as the smallest of those in an office, and must have learnt 

 how to measure the worth of parts by that of the whole 

 which each contributes to form." — R. R. W. Lingen. 



"As to the assertion that vanity and conceit increase with 

 knowledge and industry, one would only have expected it to 

 be made by persons either wilfully blind to the real effects 

 of a good education, or who have had no experience of it 

 themselves."— Rev. G. E. L. Cotton.
