to discuss the subject.
By a Clause in your Bill, p. 4, it is declared and enacted—
" That the person or persons having the power of appoint-
ing the master of any School Founded or Endowed for the
teaching of Grammar, and who shall have appointed such
master, may, if he or they think fit, make a bargain
with are said master as they can agree together, by force
of which he s!ball bind himself to teach, either by himself or
an usher or assistant, reading, writing, and accounts, to
such persons and on such terms as shall be agreed upon, be-
side teaching grammar, according to the instructions and di-
rections of the founder, grantor, devisor, or testator."
By the next clause—" That it shall and may be lawful for
the person or persaaa having the appointment of the master
of such Grammar School as aforesaid, as often as the place
of such master shall be vacant, from and after the passing of
this Act, to order arid require that the person to be appoint-
ed as waster shall, without any further consideration, teach
.by himself, or by an usher or -assistant, reading, writing,
and accounts, to such persons, on such terms as the said
per Son er persons so appointing him to be master shall
think fit to prescribe, beside teaching Grammar according to
the intentions and directions of the Founder, Grautur, De-
visor, or Testator ; and in case such master, after befog so
limn, riled, shall not so teach reading, writing, and accounts,
in the mariner so prescribed, then ire shall be removed from
his place by an order of the Lord High Chancellor, Master
of the Rolls, or Vice Chancellor, for which the person or
persons aforesaid having the power of appointing such was-
ter, is and arellereby authorised and empowered to apply."
By the next—" That if in any. Foundation, Endowment,
Gift, Devise, or Bequest, connected with instruction of
youth, a limited number of children or other persons. are di-
=rected to receive the benefits thereof, and no more, it shall i
and may be lawful fur the person or persons having the ap-
pointmetitarf schotilmaster, mistress, or-other teacher there-
in, and,who shall have appointed such master, mistress, or
teacher, to -make a bargain with haus or Iser, by force of
which he or sire shall be bound to teach any greater number
,if children or persons on such aerms as shall be agreed on ;
and it sir and may he lawful for the said person err persons
having the power of appointing as aforesaid, as often as the
said place of master, mistress, or teacher shall be vacant,
from and after tire'passing of this Act, to order arid direct
any waster, mistress, or teacher whom they shall appoint,
to teach such numbers of children or persons as they may
think tit to prescribe, and upon such terms as they may
think fit to impose, and to apply to the Lord High Chancel-
lor, Master of the Rolls, or Vice Chancellor, for an order
removing the said master, mistress, or teacher from his or
her place, in case of disobeying such order or directions,
after he or she shall have beers appointed; which order the
said Lord High 'Chancellor, Master of the Rolls, and Vice
Chancellor, are hereby authorised and empowered to make."
By the next—" That it shall and may be lawful for the
person or persons having the appointment of master, mistress,
er teacher of anyEuilowed School whatsoever, as often as the
place of such master, mistress, or teacher shall be vacant,
tuna and after the passing of this Act, to order and direct
what number of boarders such master, mistress,' or teacher
shall take, receive, or entertain in the house in which be or
she may reside, uuder the said Foundation or Endowment;
and if they think ,fit to forbid altogether the taking, re-
ceiving, or entertaining of any such boarders ; and such per-
son) or persons are hereby authorized and empowered to asp-•
ply to the Lord High Chancellor, Master of the Rolls, or
Vice-Chancellor, for an order, removing the said master or
mistress, or teacher, .disobeying such direction or prohi-
bition, after he or she shall. have been appointed i which
order tire said Lord HigliChancellor, Master of the Rolls,
and Vice-Chancellor, life hereby authorized stud empowered
to make."
The first of these Clauses provides, and in common justice
it.could do no less, that IP.; master who was appointed master
of a Grammar School shall be obliged to teach English read-
lag., writing and artatunts, without ins own consent. This at
least was due to him, that he should not he the victim of an
ex post facto law; if he pleases, he may justly say, non bxc in
feedera Yetli ; and it will be his own fault if he clauses to he
the voluntary instrument of his own abasement.
One important fact, however, •is acknowledged by this
Clause, which, if I mistake riot, you were not at all thanes au
ready to admit, I mean the clear and undtMhted distinction
between Grammar Schools, that is, Schools in which Gram-
niar and the Learned Languages are taught, and Schools for
teachini,, English reading and writing. It is a great tiling to
have Irris clearly, plainly, and distinctly recognized, though
I urn afraid it will lead to a conclusion fatal to the title of
your Bill. Now if Grammar Schools are Schools distinct (ram
Eniglish Schools, and yet if the Bill requires that English
reading and writing shall be taught ins the former, besides
Grammar according to the Instructions and Directions of the
Founder. I do not see how such Bill can be tray well en-
titled a Bill for tire better fulfilling the intentions of the
Founder. For if 'there be any meaning. inn words, and ally
force in logic, the Clause which provides that tire master shall
teach English reading, writing, and aceonnts, besides Gram-
.mar'aceording to tire intention of the Founder, acknowledges
that the Founder did not intend that English reading, writing,.
and accounts, should he taught in his School, but that he
intended to found a School for distinct and different purposes.
Surely, Sir, the Founder intruded to found a Grammar
School, or be did nut. If he did not, why has it a name
which does not belong to it ? He might as well have called
it a stable, an hospital, or an apothecary's shop. But if ire
did intend to found a Grammar School, then to engraft au
English reading and writing School on it. is no better fulfil-
aient of his intentions, than to add to it a Dancing, School or
a Music School. Tine master of a Grammar School hold• his
appointment for a specific object, the teaching of Grammar
arid the Learned Languages; and whether lie holds it under
deed of Gift, Will, Settlement, Act of Parliament,or in what-
ever manner, if lie comes tliere legally appointed, and con-
forms to the Statutes which are to govern him, he fulfils the
specific purpose which the Founder of that Endowment in-
tended should, ne fulfilled ; in other words, lie e• fulfils the
intention of the Founder hereof," and he will no better ful-
fil it, by teaching English reading, writing, and accounts,
than by teaching shoe-making or house-painting, or any
other extraneous business.
Should any one attempt to argue that the engrafting an
Epglish reading,- waiting, and account school on as.Gratuanar

school is only aft enlargement of the founder's intention, I
must beg leave to remind him, that after the rectagn.tion of
Grammar schools, as distinct from English schools, such an
argument would be wholly inconclusive. I have used the
terms him and any one, because I wish clearly to mark that I
cannot for a moment. suspect a man of your acknowledged
talents and acuteness, of baying recourse to an argument so
utterly illogical and absurd. By parity of reasoning, such an
arguer might " order and require" all future masters of
Grammar schools to teach French, Spanish, It ussian, Sans-
crit, Armenian, Coptic, &c. &c. &c. for this would wily be
an Enlargement of the founder's intention, though you and I
should certainly not call it a fulfilment thereof.
Suppose, Sir, you were by will, (far distant be the day when
it should be carried into effect) to found a school for a speci-
fic purpose, for instance, teaching Euglish reading, writing,
and accounts, and were to entitle your school a School for
teaching English, and should give directions as to the conduct
of the masters, the boys to be admitted, and books to he
taught ; and suppose two hundred years after, some candidate
for popular favour should get op in the House of Commons,
and say, that although you expressed nothing about teaching
Latin and Greek, you certainly must have intended that these
should be taught, and should enact accordingly; would you,
if you could have any sense of what was then doing, think
yourself fairly dealt by; would you not, if you could speak
from your grave, say, My purposes wete to have English
taught, and not Latin and Greek; what business has poste-
rity, at the distance of two hundred years, to pretend to un-
derstand my meaning better than I understood it myself, and
to construe it in direct opposition to all that I have myself
declared ? How dare a man overturn the sanctity of a will
hecause it is 200 years old, which he would not presume to
violate if it were of yesterday, and what succession or what
property, is secure for a moment if this principle be once ad-
mitted
It appears, therefore, Sir, either that the title of the Bill is
a misnomer, or that clauses which are designed to promote the
objects specified its the title, have a directly opposite tendency.
If the title stands, you must leave out these clauses. But if
the clauses stand, and you wish fur consistency, you will only
have to alter two words in the title, and instead of " better
fulfilling," read " utterly defeating," for at present the one
is utterly irreconcileable with the other.
The three parties concerned in this Bill are—l. The found-
ers, or at least their representatives, who, acting for the
founders, are supposed tohave the same views acid intentions
—2. That masters Time public, 1. e. the parents of buys
entitled to the benellts of the foundation, and their children.
I have briefly considered how your Bill affects the first of
these ; and I new proceed to the second class. And here,
Sir, a 4serson less liberal than yourself, may perhaps accuse
me of selfish And interested motives, as I have the honour
myself to be included in this class; I therefore think it
right just to remark, that as your Bill cannot affect me
without my own consent (always supposing the clauses to
stand as they now are), and I am not likely to be a party
to my own degradation, I cannot well be influenced
by such unworthy consideratious. A fair and candid judge
will consider ate as cowing forward front higher and purer
motives, itt a case in which I cannot be personally affected,
to defend my successors its tights which I have received, and
which I think it becomes me to transmit to them unabridged
and uninjured. I have, Sir, also, still higher and purer nu)-
! tives than these, arising from a zeal for the interests of piety,
and literature," of sound learning and religious education
a zeal which has beets fostered during the bug discharge of
*sty professional duties, and which I hope will continue to
grow with soy growth in years and strengthen in my mind
even amidst bodily infirmities and decay.
It will, I think, be conceded by all those who ate capable
of forming a correct judgment on the matter, that hew bodies
of men are more usefully or taore laboriously employed, or
more moderately paid fur their continued exertious and heavy
responsibility, than the masters of our endowed Grammar
Schools. Having themselves received a liberal education,
and bein?: ' as a collective body, certainly among the must
learned of this country, the stipends they receive from their
endowments are seldom more than sufficient to provide them
with the necessaries of life. Much the greater number of
these endowments do not exceed 1001. a year—and few indeed
are above 2001; Can it be expected, Sir, that at man of tido-
catiou, competent to educate boys for the liberal professioas
and for academic pursuits, to form their morale and direct
their taste, should starve upon this pittance without any other
resources ? Do not, Sir, suppose that lam an advocate fur
lavish and excessive salaries to be given to masters—far from
it :—I conceive that the present moderate stipends are better
calculated to produce the proposed object, than sums of much
greater amount, because as they are at µresent, fur the most
part, absolutely inadequate to the proper maintenance of the
master and Isis family, they compel him to exertion, and pre-
vent his making his office a sinecure. But I contend that
nothing can be wore oppressive and unjust, than to give him
a salary on which be can barely exist, and prohibit his im-
provement of his income by that fair ;arid honest exercise of
his talents which has hitherto been the:customary and esta-
blished practice of the country. Must School-houses are
built expressly for the accommodation of boarders, and when
you cut Off this resource of a master's income by " limning
or altogether forbidding" his reception of them, you paralyze
his exertions, you cramp the sphere of his utility, and reward
his meritoriousness and activity with indigence and privation.
In many cases, Sir, it is provided that the Masters of En-
dowed Grammar Schools shall be graduates of- one of our
English Universities ; in souse, Ipay instance this School for
one, that the appointment shall vacate a fellowship, (as I va-
' cattail mine accordingly.) Do you think, Sir, that a succes-
sion of academic men will be found to ,undertake the direc-
tion of these Schools, when they are &graded, fettered, and
reduced to the :miserable pittance anal the laborious drudge-
ries to which your Bill would bring them? And if such a
succession of men as have been indicated by the founders

cannot be met with, do you think you shall better fulfil the
mtentious of theie founders b substituting worse ? Why
did they provide that the masters should he academic gradu-
ates, but for the sake of taking all possible care that they
shold be competently learned men ?—Why did they want
Learned Men but to teach Learning ; such learning as
may prepare
.the mind of the scholar for his academic
course ?—A Master of Arts is not wanted to teach A, B, C,
nor is it in human belief that they ever could have thought
of subjecting their Masters to such a degradation. •
If you say, that the master of an endowed school is not to
take • boarders to the prejudice and exclusion of foundation
boys, I quite agree with you ; but this is a very distinct case,
and apparently not contemplated by the Clause in question,
in which the power is given of limiting or prohibiting the re-
ception of boarders, in broad and unqualified terms, and may
be exercised without appeal, as the caprice or pique of the
patrols may suggest. But I must go one step farther, and
assert, that it by no weans appears to have been the intention
of the founders of Endowed Grammar Schools that they should
be wholly confined to boys on the foundation. That it was
not so at the school over which I myself preside, 1 can prove
by the most satisfactory evidence: I can prove that the very
perso❑ who drew up our statutes to be approved by our prin-
cipal founder, aml which were approved accordingly, admit-
ted foundation boys and strangers indiscriminately and with-
out limitation ; for we still have the lists in his own hand•
writing. What may be the case at other Endowed Schools I
know not ; but I know what answer ansalte., and co►vmoit
sense dictate, and I have little doubt but that in almost all
Schools which have preserved their earliest records, a similar
practice will he found, ab MAI.; to have prevailed. 1 consider,
therefore, this Clause, giving arbitrary power to patrons to be
exercised at their caprice without control, as She must.usons-
trous and oppressive species of tyranny.
Neither is this all ; fur, havi►ig reduced the master to his
original foundation stipend, cud cut hint oil' from al! hopes
and power of increasing it, by forbidding to take boardei s,
, another Clause provides " that the Patrons of any founda-
tion connected with the Edocation of youth, (and there-
fore including all Endowed Grammar Schools) wherever a
limited number of Children or Other Persons are directed to
receive the benefits thereisf, and no more, may order and
direct any master, mistress, or teacher whom they shall up-
point, o teach. such. number of children or persons as they
may think fit to prescribe, and upon such terms as they May
think fit to impose." Now, let us suppose a school is limited
to teach twenty Children or Persons, which I suppose means
adults in contradistinction to children, and that the master
receives sixty or eighty pound* a year for teaching these; by
this Clause the Patrons of the foundation may say be shall
teach twenty, fifty, or fire hundred inure, Without any increase
of salary : fur both the number to be taught, and the terms of
• caching, tite left to their Lliert:tion. This is reducing the
