A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Addresses printed in this volume are of two kinds. My brother, for a number of years, was in the habit of giving a lecture, at the beginning of each session, on some subject connected with the studies of the University, or on the work of some great author philosopher or theologian, scientific or literary man who might be regarded as a representative of one of these studies. He also, throughout his tenure of the office of Principal except on one or two occasions when he was prevented by ill-health delivered an Address to the graduates at the end of the Session after the Graduation Ceremonies, generally discussing some topic connected with University Education. Of the former class of Addresses the most important, to the number of twelve, are included in this volume.
