Jast and the preceling century, compelled 
to seek in’ foreign countries an education 
which they were ‘not allowed to receive at 
home, from prolessors of their own religious 
belief. -Much money was necessarily expend- 
ed in formirg estabiishments, where those, 
who were afte: wards destined te become teach-

their lives in the retirement necéssaty-for the 
acquisition of religious and scientific mforma-

of this country, they sunk beneath the spirit
