DEATH OF PRINCIPAL LEE.—It is with extreme
regret that we announce the death, in his eightieth year, of
the Very Rev. Principal Lee, which took place within his
house, in the college, at an early hour on Monday morning.
Principal Leo was one of the few survivors of the old race
of Scottish divines and scholars ; and many will miss from
our streets and bookstalls his venerable and well-known
figure. His life was one of indefatigable industry ; though
it is matter of regret that his numerous writings give but
an inadequate impression of his great talents and extensive
acquirements. In the General Assembly he filled the office
of principal clerk, and on abstruse points of our early eccle-
siastical history he was an authority from whom there was
no appeal. In 1844 he was elected to the Moderator's
chair ; and many of the pastoral letters that from time to
time were addressed to the church were from his pen. The
late Principal was born about 1780, in a village on the
Gala Water. He was for a time under the celebrated Dr.
Leyden, and afterwards passed to the I7niverit3r of Edin-
burgh, where he took a degree in medicine. Subsequently,
however, he entered the church, his first charge being a
Scotch church in London. His next preferment was to
Peebles, where he resided for four years ; and thus early
rising to some degree of eminence, he was in 1812 elected
to the chair of Church History in the University of St.
Andrews. Dr. Lee, besides other appointments, afterwards
successively filled the charges of the Canongate, Lady
Yester's, and the Old Church in this city, until, in 1840, he
was elected by the Town Council to the high office of Prin-
cipal of the University. In 1844 he was elected to the
chair of Divinity in the University, which he held in _
con-
junction with the principalship. Principal Lee was one of
the deans of the Chapel Royal, and a fellow of the Royal
Society.—Edinburgh Courant.

deer-stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, game-
keepers, and tourists. Price 30s.—Spectacle Lenses of the

dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Persons

stating the distance from the eyes they can read small print
with it, and those who have not made use of spectacles by
