containing 1477 scholars, with 74 teachers. The average attendance 

 is about eighty-five per cent, of the numbers on the books. 



Almost all the endowed schools are connected with the Established 

 Church. In many schools (particularly Sunday schools) which are 

 supported at the charge of particular denominations, scholars of all 

 creeds are received, and in few comparatively is a strictly exclusive 

 character maintained. 



Dates of Establishment. On this point the returns were consider- 

 ably defective, but on the whole, it appears that of the total number of 

 schools now existing in Bristol, nearly one-half have been established 

 since 1820, and nearly one-fourth since 1830. 



Mr. F. concluded his paper with some remarks on the influence of 

 education in its present state as compared with what it should be on a 

 wider and more efficient basis. He referred in illustration to the course 

 of primary instruction established in the Canton of Zurich, as one 

 of the most complete and rational schemes of cultivating the mind of a 

 people that have yet been proposed. In an appendix, the author gave 

 an account of the foundation and nature of instruction pursued in the 

 endowed schools of Bristol.

Population of Glasgow. 



The suburbs were included, for the first time in 1780. It will be 

 seen that the population fell oiF immediately after the restoration of 

 Charles II., in 1660, and that it required more than half a century to 

 make uy> what it had lost.
