Sir , NONE ought to feel so strongly as the Dissenters the importance of the establishment of an institution where their children may receive the benefits of a liberal education without the sacrifice of principle . I am one of those who are not sorry that
circumstances prevented the Unitarians from having * a prominent share in the first formation of the proposed University ^ because I feel convinced that more prejudice might have been brought to bear against a design so set on foot , than it has been possible
to enlist against the present undertaking in the hands of men of all classes of society . But I do feel the urgent call that the friends of a liberal and extended system of education have a right to make upon a body of persons who are so competent to render
assistance in the most essential way , and who have so strong an interest in the success of the undertaking , a call which , may be answered in a quiet way , though most efficiently , as appears by the difficulty found in completing the appropriation of the requisite number of shares .
It will be obvious to the wealthy members of our body , that they can efficiently come forward with very little trouble or risk to ensure success to a noble work ; but the principal object of the present letter is to
inquire whether any of our public institutions have funds which they could to any extent embark ( temporarily at any rate ) in the furtherance of so important an object to the Dissenting * community . In particular . I I have understood In particular have understood
, that a considerable sum of money remains from the funds of the Academy formerly existing at Hackney , and which it was intended should be hereafter employed either as the basis of sonic new institution of the same
sort , or in some purpose kindred to the original design of promoting the liberal education of Dissenters .

If this be the case , I would suggest that the cause could not be more materially served . than by the investment of at least some portion of this money in the purchase of shares of the
University . 1 he gentlemen , whoever they are , who hold this fund , can as well ( even probably with a view to pecuniary income of their fund ) have it , or a part of it , invested in these shares as in the public funds , and with probably no great risk of deterioration .
They would have the benefit mean time of recommending students—a purpose Identical with that of the original fund , and I am not aware that , until the establishment of a new
Academy ( no very probable thing ) should render it necessary to withdraw the fund so employed , it could be disposed of in a manner more truly useful , and more consistent with the original intention of the subscribers .
I should , perhaps , myself be inclined to go further , in the event of the proposed institution really answering the expectations of the founder , and should think the interests of
truth and learning better served by the permanent establishment to which all sects and parties would resort for education and instruction , than by institutions in their nature contracted , and confined to the inculcation of the
peculiar systems of any particular sect , however liberally conducted ; but at all events some assistance might be rendered , without in any way permanently affecting the disposeableness of the fund . E . T .

Sir , IN the haste with which I made my remark on the verb yiyveaSat , m
my last , ( p . 605 , ) I omitted to observe that , in the passage quoted from Herodotus , yiveoci can neither be rendered by fis nor by factus es , the sense excluding the former , and the tense of the verb the latter of these renderings .
I also neglected to submit to the consideration of your ingenious correspondent , an example or two of yevEtr-Sr ^ t , used as the aorist of eivcu . r lhe following instances will shew that a not
transition or chdngc of state is always implied by this word . Thucydides , Lib . iv . c . xciv . ^ iXoi—ovu tote TrapTjcroc p , qvtb eyevoyro zv ty ) TroAfi * Lib . ii . c . xcvii , E 'ysyeTo vj apxv y O 8 / w-
