Manchester , X > ec I , 1808 . In presenting their Annual Report to the Public , the Trustees are persuaded that the Subscribers ^ large will sympathize with them in sentiments of the deepest regret for the death of their late excellent Visitor , the Rev . W . Wood ; whose cheerful piety , amiable virtue ,
extensive learning , and tinweariea concern for the interests of this Institution , rendered hini peculiarly well qualified for the office which he held in it , and gave to the advice which he was at any time called to offer , to the Trustees as to its management , or to the Students with regard to their conduct and ' behaviour , a

Those who recollect the glow of animated benevolence which lighted up his countenance , whenever he appeared as the advocate cf pure and undefiled Religion , and particularly , when he addressed his admonitions to the youn ^ , or even simply expressed his solicitude * for . their ^ improvemerit and welfare , will be best able to

The Friends of the Institution willhavc great satisfaction in observing the favourable state of its Funds . But lest the large balance which appears in the Treasurer ' s hand , should have the effect of relaxing the exertions of ks Friends , it ¦ will be proper that it should be attended to , that many of the Subscriptions and Benefaetions which are found in the
annexed Statetiient , belong in strictness to the accounts of the former year , but did not arrived m time to be included in the last Report ; and that , of those a considerable number were given with a particular view to providing for a third Tutor ; that of the remainder , several were contributed With a view to the
Establishment of a Permanent Fund ; the interest only of which shall be applied to the objects of the Institution , and thjitimtil such Fund becomes capable of sustaining : this increased expense , the Trustees will not think themselves authorised to engage any GentJeman in that capacity .
