when opportunities were put before him — for dispensing the 

 wealth which in so large a measure God had given him as the 

 result of his own intelligent efforts. He might add that, as 

 by conviction, and in obedience to conscience. Sir Titus Salt 

 was a Nonconformist, he had never confined his princely 

 liberality within the narrow limits of a mere sect, but had been 

 ready, with a liberality of spirit which had always done him 

 honour, to promote the erection of churches and schools, and 

 the promotion of any organization whatever which, by God's 

 blessing, might tell upon the material, social, and, above all, 

 the religious wellbeing of the people among whom he has 

 lived. There were thousands now before him, each one of 

 whom might take a lesson from the life of this distinguished 

 man. They might depend upon it that, when the History of 

 England came to be written, a very substantial chapter would 

 be given to the class of men of whom Sir Titus Salt was a dis' 

 tinguished ornament, and who, by personal sympathy and 

 continuous earnest effort, have contributed so largely to the 

 good work that has been done during the last forty years. 

 There was need when such men were advancing in years, or 

 passing away, for an accession of fresh men to come forward 

 to carry on the work that had been so nobly begun. He com- 

 mended, with all his heart, the example of Sir Titus Salt's life 

 to the imitation of every inhabitant of the town.' 



The last great public and benevolent act of Sir Titus Salt's 

 life was the erection of a suite of buildings for the Sunday 

 schools of Saltaire, one of the principal features of which is 

 that the teaching halls consist of separate rooms. Every 

 classroom is supplied with a small table and chair for the 

 teacher's use, and the floors are covered with Brussels carpet.
