THE UNIVERSITY OF KING'S COLLEGE,
AT WINDSOR, IN NOVA SCOTIA.
Tevery one who feels an interest in the
JIL moral and religious improvement of his fellow-creatures,
the following brief details, with regard to a very important por-
tion of the North American Colonies, are presented with much
respect and confidence.
The Province of Nova Scotia was erected into an Episcopal
See in 1787, and the established religion of the Church of
England thus assumed there that prominent and permanent
character to which it is so well entitled, both by the soundness
of its doctrines and the Godly excellence of its Liturgy and
Discipline.
To preserve those doctrines, and that Liturgy and Discipline,
in their unabated purity, it seemed necessary, at the same time,
that the means of a right religious education should be provid-
ed, both for those who were to teach, and those who were to be
taught the holy principles of our Church—that so they might
live and die in the faith and hope of their forefathers.
For this purpose, the University at Windsor was established,
and called King's College, as a testimony of gratitude to the
kindness and piety of his late Majesty King George 111.
under whose sanction, and by whose charter it was principally
formed.
The statutes of the College were drawn up after the model of
those of Oxford; and still more effectually to secure the wel-
fare of the institution, it was placed under the patronage of the
Archbishop of Canterbury, who has the power of a negative
upon every statute, and under the Government of the leading
official Personages in the Colony, whilst the important powers
of Visitor were entrusted, with equal prudence and propriety,
to the Bishop of the Diocese.
A plan of instruction so wisely framed could not fail of urov.
ing highly beneficial ; and the College has in fact brought up
in the principles of sound learning and a religious education,
not only the young men of Nova Scotia and the adjoining Co-
lonies, but also children of English residents in the neighbour.
ing States of America, who had inherited from their parents
an attachment to our venerable Church.
But the principal blessing which this University has been,
under God, the instrument of communicating to the Christi=
world, is to be found in the exertions of many pious Ministers
of the Gospel, whom it has sent forth qualified, as far as hu-
man means could qualify them, for the discharge of those ardu-
ous and holy duties, which, when speaking of the Clergymen
of these North American Provinces, can be considered in no
other light, and called by no other name, than the labours of
the Christian Missionary.
Men equally learned, and of equal zeal, might perhaps have
been obtained from the Universities of England ; but men of
equal experience, and equally contented with their peculiar
sphere, men equally acquainted with the habits of the people,
and equally attached to the country in which they were con-
tinually to preach and dwell, the Universities of England could
never have furnished.
Such was the origin, and such has been the past usefulness
of the University of Nova Scotia ; but it is now unhappily be-
coming daily more inadequate to effect its admirable objects
from several causes.

1. A temporary wooden building was all that, in the first
foundation of the College, it was deemed necessary or practi-
cable to raise: and that building, from a want of funds to ob-
viate the progress ofgradual decay, has naturally, in the course,
of nearly forty years, fallen into such a ruinous state, that it
can no longer be inhabited without extensive repairs, and is so
far gone as to be unworthy of being restored. It may be so re-
paired as to be occupied for a short time, but must won be
abandoned.
2. But even were the building in a more perfect condition, it
is now no longer sufficiently large to accommodate the increas-
ing number of students, or tit for the dignified purpose to which
it is appropriated, as the established University of a very rising
Colony.
The population of the Diocese of Nova Scotia is becoming
daily more nuns-roue, and the demand for a liberal education is,
in consequence, proportionally enlarged. Men of sound reli-
gious principles and extensive acquirements are wanted for every
department, but particularly for the ministry in the Church of
Christ. An official Report, just received,shews that in one of the
five Provinces which are included within the Diocese, only six_
tee. Clergymen arc scattered orcx: thcimmorseoortent 0e47,000
square miles, where the population is Increasing wonderfully
every year. The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel
has, at this moment, occasion for more than fifty additional
Missionaries in the North American Colonies alone; and the
formation of the two West Indian Bishoprics, and the earnest
endeavours which are so wisely making for the spiritual instruc—
tion of the Negro slaves, are likely to render King's College of
still more importance and use. they certainly render its pre-
sent building and its present means, altogether unfitand unequal
to answer its present and probable future opportunities of doing
good.
3. Without any imputation of improper hostility to other
forms of doctrine and Church government, it may be fairly
stated to those who love their own holy faith and discipline,
that if the College at Windsor be not supported by the pious
and benevolent, an attachment to the principles of the Church
of England and of our happy Constitution must, in Nova
Scotia, decline. There are other establishments rising up,
which arc not conducted upon the same principles, and from
them even the children of the members of the Church of Eng-
land must, if this university fall, be compelled to derive their
education. Or, if they do not resort to the dissenting establish-
; meats of Nova Scotia, they must gather their knowledge and
form their sentiments in the Republican Colleges of the United
States of America. Thus nurtured and instructed, it is natural
to conceive that they will imbibe opinions which are any thing
but favourable to the religious and political institutions of Ens.
land.

It is impossible to blame others who conscientiously endea-
vour to propagate their own views of the Gospel and govern-
merit, even where they differ from our own ; but surely if we
have any reverence for our own, or any real belief in their
truth and excellence, we must conscientiously contribute to
prevent the utter ruin of an University, which is their principal
support in a very important Province of the empire. We shall
do our utmost to provide a sound Episcopal branch of the
Church of Christ in America, with the means of educating for
itself, what it so greatly wants, a succession of sound Episcopal
ministers.
Impreased with these considerations the Society for the Pro-
pagation of the Gospel has founded scholarships for the educa.
tion of Clergymen, and granted 5001. to relieve the exigencies
of the College. The Society for Promoting Christian Know-
ledge has also made a donation of 5001. for the religious
objects of the Institution; and several distinguished indivi.
duals have followed the example.
But to give some temporary repair to the present Building,
so that it may be used until another is completed; to engage
in the erection of a new and sufficient edifice ; to provide ad-
, ditional Professors, Tutors, and Scholarships ; to furnish the
necessary Philosophical Apparatus and Books ;—these are ob-
jects, to which the Subscriptions already received are extremely
inadequate. It is, therefore, to enlarge these funds, and procure
additional Subscriptions and Donations from the liberality of
those who are interested in the progress of science and the pro.
pagation of sound religious, and moral, and political principles,
that the Governors of King's College have ventured to make an
appeal which they are sure may be properly, and hope will not
be unsuccessfully made.
Contributions in money, books, and philosophical apparatus
of every kind, will be most thankfully received by Sir Scrope
Bernard 11,1orland, Bart. M.P., 50, Pall Mall, who has been
the kind Agent of King's College for many years. Other friends
of the Institution, in different places, will forward the object
of this Address, and supply information to those who may re•
quire it.
During his short stay in England, the Bishop of Nova Scotia
will gladly afford this information, upon application to him at
200, Piccadilly. It may likewise be obtained from the Secre-
tary to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, 42, Castle-
ttreet, Leicester-square ; from the Secretaries to the Society for
Promoting Christian Knowledge, Lincoln's-inn-Fields ; and at
Cambridge from the Lord Bishop of Bristol, and the Rev. the
Masters of Trinity and St. John's Colleges.
