MIR. William l.. Harris, during aperiod Of about eighteen
months, performed the duties OF IA tutor in Hampden Sgd.
ney College. My daily intercourse with him gave me
many opportunities OF ascertaining his proficiency in the
languages, and in other branches OF study connected with
the college course. He has shown himself 10 be well &C.
quainted with the Greek and Latin Languages, which he
translates with a facility and accuracy not often found
even in classical scholars. He translates the French Ian
guage with considerable case, and has acquired some
knowledge OF Spanish and Italian. lie is familiar with
the branches OF Algebra and Geometry generally taught
in classical schools and academies; and i'm addition 10 these
requirements, he possesses the important advantage of an
excellent English education, in which many Of our Greek
and Latin scholars are deficient. 1 am confident that he
will perform the part of a faithful instructor, and I would
recommend him 10 parents and guardians as one whose
precepts and example will improve the character Of the
pupils entrusted 10 him, no less than his instruction will
contribute TO the cultivation OF their minds.
