I commend in unqualified terms ^ the motives of both youf correspondents respecting the Academy , and I sincerely hope they will be the means ^ through the medium of your excellent publication , of inducing many opulent Dissenters to patronise the only Institution from which they can expect a succession of
well educated Ministers . 1 am fully sensible that the labour of the Tutors ., particularly the Theological Tutor , must be incompatible with their health , and ] heartilywish the funds would admit of another * That the labour of the principal Tutor is very great , I was a witness when the Academy was under , the direction of that excellent man , the Rev .
