TO THE MEMBERS OF THE SENATE OF THE
UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE.
Sr. Jamen.place, Dec. 5, 1832.

GENTLEMEN
BEG to inform you that the Poll is fixed to
take place at CAMBRIDGE, on WEDNESDAY, the
12th inn.

I have not disguised my political sentiments, but the
grounds upon which my friends have advocated my claims
I.° Your support are not of a political nature, and I consider
It of so much importance to establish the principle that
attachment to scientific pursuits should not constitute a
"qualification for political distinction, that I am ready to
eThtend to the utmost for that principle, although I most
I_l, eerely wish it had been intrusted to one of greater
ability and superior pretensions.
Should I succeed in attaining the high honour of repre-
nting you in Parliament, I shall use my utmost endeavours
'oPport the interests of the Established Church, and to
promote the welfare of the University.

again most respectfully solicit the honour of your vote
kid support,
And remain, Gentlemen, with great respect,
Your most obedient and faithful Servant,
J. W. LUBBOCK.
