consequence of the permifsion unanimously granted 

 of the scnatus concilium. 



With regard to the place where such a semina- 

 ry ought to be establifhed ; it ought doubtlefs to 

 be in the neighbourhood of the largest city in the 

 state to which such an institution belongs ; for thus 

 it would be rendered accefsible to the greatest num- 

 ber of people, without deranging their affairs. In 

 England, therefore, London is clearly the best place. 

 And Edinburgh for Scotland. 



Good substantial houses, (^but not palaces, J with a 

 garden to each, if pofsible, fhould be provided for 

 each profefsor, aad-be perhaps the principal part, 

 if not the whole of the fixed living. Adjoining to 

 these fhould be provided a suite of convenieat lectu- 

 ring room?, aid a mus?u-n and library ; without 

 which every serlunary of education must b-; extreme- 

 ly incomplete. The museum fhould be divided in- 

 to departments suited to the clafies of lectures ; 

 each lecturer t'^ be intrusted with thi- charge of the 

 articles belonging to his own depar'ment. All the 

 articles contained in each fhould be inseVtcd in a ca- 

 talogue, and the whole fhould be visited once a year 

 by committee of the senatus concilium, afsisted 

 by certain other persons to be named for that pur- 

 pose, who fhould compare the articles with the ca- 

 talogue, and see that nothing is destroyed or deranged. 

 This visitation ought to be a great public act ac- 

 companied with particular ceremonies; and every 

 student who had attended the seminary more than 

 years, fhould have a right to atttend at that 

 yisitation if he chose it.
