SCHOOL OF ARTS AT I;DLVaI7ROIL [PROM TOR EDINBURGH STAR.] This institution, the nature and objects of which have been already descrihed in our paper, opened on Tuesday night in Freemasons' Hall, Niddry-street, when Dr. Fyfe delivered the first of a course of leo. tures on chymistry. On this interesting occasion the directors were fa• vowed with the presence of the Lord Provost, and a number of gentlemen, patrons and subscribers to the institution, among whom we noticed, Sir John Hay, Bart.; J. F. Erskine, Esq. of filar; George Forbes, Esq. the Treasurer; and L. Horner, Esq. the Secre tary of the Institution ; the Rev. Drs. Macknight and Brunton ; the Rev. David Dickson ; the Rev. John Thomson ; Alex. Monro, Esq.; James Russell, Esq. ; Thomas Kiunear, Esq.: John Cockhurn, Esq. ; Forbes H. Blair, Esq. ; Dr. Barclay; William Inglis, Esq.; Thomas Allan, Esq. ; and several other gentlemen of the greatest respectability. Previous to the lecture, Leonard Horner, Esq. de livered, in the name of the directors, a preliminary address to the students, in which, after shortly re• capitulating the nature and objects of the Institution, as explained in the prospectus, lie observed, that it had been the proud distinction of Scotland, that while other countries were buried in the slavery of ig norance, the blessings of education had been here dif fused by means of oar parochial institutions—and the', barrier broken down which shuts out the poor man from those branches of human knowledge, which were calculated to call forth native genius, and open up the sources of wealth and happiness to the lahouring classes. There was no part of the civilized world in which Scotsmen were not to be found who bad risen to eminence by the exercise of their talents ; and it , would be easy to enumerate instances to show, that in the praises he had bestowed on our native country, he did not claim for it more holsour than fairly belonged to it. Ha would _mention two particular irevanceN which were well calculated to stimulate his auditor' In the pursuit of the high rewards of industry and gsaius. fie spoke of their countrymen, those elde. brawl engineers, Watt and Rennie. Mr. Watt,. the inventor of the steatn-engine, me a Bettie! of Ureenock, and at thirty years old was employed as a mathematical instrument maker. By his sub sequent exertions that powerfnl instrulnent the steam engine had been brought to inch perfee pion, as to he applled to most of the purposes of ~useful lily, and to Tender cheap wi Atccessible the materials of wealth and . pr t me r ezity. And this man had reaped time full, reward of Ms genius ' and perseverance in • the *gelation of an a:uple Are one, and in aenuriwg• the esteems and re peel *II Awake Anti dames of taw ennernaairy. Mr. 'Kenai e,.whic paii, V a ftw.:4aP, inti:l 4 k Ale vymf 414 kirt :fi!ra.4ll6 from au bunible sphere of life to the highest .udinsa;:e • in his profession. Mr. Horner here read an extract from a book published in 1779, by a Mr. David Loch, in which, describing a visit paid a school at Dunbar, be nutices the examination of the mathematical class, and the amazing genius displayed by Mr. Rennie, then a young man, following the business of a mill wright; and who'he describes as a second Newton, for whom no problem either in natural or experimental philosophy war too hard ; and prophecies that he would, at no distant period, prove a great honor to his country. - Mr. Horner appealed to the subsequent history oT Mr. Rennie, to prove that this prophecy had been ansply fulfilled. After prosecating the business of a mill-wright for a short time in Scotland, Mr. Rennie bad gone to London, and followed the profession of a civil engineer, in which he soon rose to the highest rank, and enjoyed the esteem and society of all emi nent men. Scarcely any great public work had been . .undertaken fur many rears in which Mr. Rennie was `not the engineer ; and among his last undertaklm;s, the Waterloo-bridge at London nt been spoken of by the celebrated Canova as the finest work in Coupe. — 'I he celebrated astronon.er, James Ferguson, was also another remarkable instance where cnitivation of natu ral genius had raised its possessor from an humble origin to the M i. :hest distinction. Mr. Ferguson was originally a shepherd-boy, and his relneation hail been scanty indeed; only three months' attendance at the grammar school at Keith ; but the native force of his groins overcame all obstacles. lie might mention many other instances of Men gifted by nature, ant! whose great talents most have been lost to the world but far the institution of parish schools; end if flow such a sys ens such great benefits hail 11 +w•:• ,!, :chat might n u t he exp ec t e d from such an in.ti:ution as the School of Arts, by which that hiolier species of knots ledge, hitherto confined to the opulent, was to be made accessible to the humble artis.itt. It had long been a prevalent error, that the speen:atious of the philosopher hail little to do with the business of life ; but this narrow prejudice had now elven way to s.,nioler 01410: us. I t was to the -Filre3blitnts of t:lr wired philosopher that we were itolehte.l for the steaimenginr—for the lighting of one streets pith 4-0 the discovery of the safety lamp, which had been the means of saving 113 discoveries were in no dearee the effoct.)llll4:lCP. 11 at the result.of patient and enli : ; htened I was by the la:items of the malltentatieian a,!r07.0 to r, and by• the discovery of the compass, the tel-s eope,.and the cliron :meter, th.tt stavigaq"n 11:d been brought to its present perfection—from sl:e Indian cantle, to that stupendous machine, a ship of war...6lM by which man was enabled to cireuazaavi gate the globe. The recent application of steam to navigation was one of the greatest triumphs of Douche ' itical art. There was scarcely a brooch of science which did not bear directly on the business of life, and it was the object of the founders of this institution to put the artisan in possession of the principles on which his daily occupation was founded. It wa• in:enled that in the course of the ensuing six mouths lectures should be delivered on the Tuesday and Friday even ings by Dr. Pyle and Mr. Galbraith, alternately ; by the former on chymistry, and by the latter on mechanical philosophy. Mr. Horner also mentioned that Mr. Dick hail generously offered to deliver lectures on ve terinary surgery gratis; and that probably also, in thr course of the winter, lectures woubl he given on ar chitecture by Mr. James Milne. Mr. 11Jrner then adverted to the advantages the students would possess in having access to the library of the institution, Ilse volumes procured fur which were already between 300 and -lOU. and would gradually bocome more nu merous and valuable. The object oldie lectures t. maid not be to excite their wonder by showy experiments, but to impart to them a knowledge of every thing that might be of value in the prosecution of their vari .us trades ; and he exhorted the sterlents to hestcw all at tention and diligence, and not to be discouraged if they should not at once comprehend the object of their studies, but carefully to store up facts in their minds ; and they might be assured davits theend their labours would tarn to good account. 'f lie School of Arts had arisen out of the kiwi interest which their feilow•ci tigens took in their prosperity and welfare, and its MP:. eess would in a great measure depend opts the zeal which the students should display in availing them selves of the opportunity now offered to acquire know ledge at the cheapest possible rate. They had come .forward with cominenda'.le alacrity, and if they con tinued to put a just value upon their privileges, the public, they might be aAsored, would not tie backward in the support of the institution. If, however, they should relapse into indifference, it would show that it was not wanted, and it must fall to the ground. But the directors anticipated no suck result. They were confident that every year would utile increase its value, and they indulged the hope that other Watts and other Rennie* world arise within the walls of the School of Arts. From the above outlines, we think that the reader n•ill be able to form snn►e convention of the worthy Secretary's address, every expression of which was the obvious dictate of a mind impressed with the sense of the magnitude and importance of the subject. Tlie foregoing remarks, however, were interspersed with others tide,' we consider, at this time, too valuable to be vivirely overlooked. The rewards of genius are powerfnl etmordants to exerdoo and enterprise : but, in contempJating tke heights t r which successful pre decessors have clisube.l, the mind is apt to he ►iizxir►►. ►vith their magnificence and splendour, and to over look the paths by which their acclivity was expinreo awl conquered : hence. the loftier the eininenc...which claims our adwir.etit•n, the stroager is the . clsarn► which holds its at its hale. , ale. Horner not only . set , hafore his hearers tire crowns and • reeouipilne s •to , gained by the iu.Lustri ors vetsoies.,of 'ciente, am! en- aeavottre.l to eeeite a desi:e to .obtain Minn. law • alsct kept in viev tke ',scans wki •it They Aerk • to so; more eil t ertnisiir.te serve this piqmoio. .4 , !xsltkis.lPs.sitAre ouls;te.ll twoa wso it#4 ple,ll Agotolcie fro.tia Aga erlsu proissioiy never usvi gained ru mach distinction, if the munificence of the parechlia schools had not in the first instance conferred on them such an education as their own fortunes could otherwise have provided. The great advantage which Scotland enjoyed over other commies was the ewe knee of her parish schools. It was this which ac counted for the superiority of her labouring classes. —lt was the common facilities of education which had enabled them co struggle with difficulties at home, and which had- enabled them in every part of the civilized world, to raise to honour by the Sole in fluence of their natural talent. This observation of Mr. Horner's is well calculated to convey a proper es timate of Scotch economy, to those by whom it is of letter talked of than it is understood. It does no: signify, that our people are not, in common with their neighbours, ton much addicted to be profuse, when it; prosperity ; neither does it imply that in adversity they will content themselves with the wretchedness and degradation of the Irish hovel ; but that they will overcome the natural difficulties of situation by tLe methodical peYseverance of their genius and habits. Is t, then, a matter of surprise, that a people who are economists by eduction, and by the force of cireatEk• stances, at bc.me, should advance to affluence and pras• pertly in countries where such are the rewards of their national characteristic, and where the diffienlties to which they have hemom inured do not so frequently a:t pear ? in the following anticipation, Mr. Horner will no doubt meet with a ready acquiescence: If. ailed try the natural talents of Seta:miter, so much benefit Iris accrued from our parochial schools, what may not be hoped from the estahiishnient of such institutions 'as • the present ? It is :o be presumed, that few of those whit have enrolled themselves on the lists of the Schaal of Arts, can need to lie told of the ativantagl which the practical mechanic twist detive, from an ac• mptaintnnee with the abstract principles of seience. This viol, however. was briefly adverted to by Mr. Horner, and was subserviently still more widely illes• !rated in the prelitnimtry lecture on rhyntie•ry. we have expressed oar gratitnde to Mr. Boner, for it! ire eats here record of Lis feeling and judicious a•.'l• dresses. the public, awl this institution in particula-, must still be content to owe him mach. • slut we err • taut shut to !pollee the beautiful and ImpresSive obsrc vistido with w ich lie coacinded, the force 4 which r.? individual present could have eiceepetl. Itsuggestie. in forcible language, as a roneideration deserving o. general attention, itieieg equally appileahle to othm4:s. beside those engaged in mechanical profes.ions, t 1 benclizial tendency w/iieti the philosophital coate-t• platiuns now prepoetol tong have, not merely in with drawing pertmns from frivolous and useless employ twen.i, to ear nothing of such parratits as were worse than frivolous, but especially in exalting the character to a higher sphere of moral respectability, by familiar izing the mind to the ennobling studiee of nature, and enlarging its rapacity for the contemplation even of what is superior to nature. We trust that Dr. Pyfe will reel ire, in the suttees• ful mealy; of hts labours, that justice which a news. paper paragrt.ph is inadequate to convey. He explain ed the chemical principles of attmaction and repulsi•i'm in the most familiar term', at the salve time illustrate ing his propositions by processes denerintive of die actions of various 11°114% It was truly affecting to notice the marks of approbation and surprise wliiitia some of these n!).rvi ins exeited in a portion of the auditory, and which had a visible street on the feeling's of the ieetnrer. His tassii was by no %leans an easy one; to lay aside the mattietnatical language of science, and to renatrime; a lll9i'e cotwitottly inteffigilsie medium fir the tratismi tel in of its doctrines, require a great ef fiirtot the mind, while it is at one and the same time c.m• scions of the necessity of precision, and oppressed with more than a usual anxiety to he understood : but science never ap:.ears in a more noble and venerable light, than when stoopaig to the capacities of he , iinuiblest disoiples. The language throughout was, in deed, remarkable for clearness and simplicity: so such so, that, fur one reason, we almast rerre•ted walling hail been allowed to remain more problemati cal, so 45 to :31n)rd an opportunity farsome of the stu dents to propose questions at the conclusion of the lec ture. This iltintacy between time Professor and his students, so desirable to be cultivated in every literary establishments, it it obri Ole must he extremely ailean tageous and retplieite in this; and the sooner that th • resolve and r,-sir tint which diffidence may at first ins. pose is diseelve I, ire think, the better. The con descending and &Stol:mate ntani , er in which Dr. Fife e:.t p ressed his taTlitigness to explain whatever be mig. i t be considered to leave obscure, could not fail to hart afforded much pleasnr• to the directors and friend: of the institution. The lecture lasted about an hour.— The feeling which seemed to pervade all present, at this close of the disceers-, tr?.n, ire a pp re h en d, th e tie s ' which could have b; 'n desited—that of awititenti curiosity on the part a the students, and of inexpresal. bin gratification on the pert of th••ir friends. 'I he students present were mimes-oes, 27? having purchased tickets; and, ea ;II tsavitig a privilege on time first night of bringiNr with halm two friends, the ball was completely erowded.
