ing received students from eeren oil the STATES anu
| from Two foreign countries. Owing TO the pressure
of an extensive practice simultaneously with the du-
ties which the Institution involved resolved Ia Tue
wear 1886 TO abandon lily the practice OF my ever
and long cherished profession, but also the Law ins-
tute and for health and ease, sought 'he more ge"a
climates Of Europe. Finding, at this time, my health
perfectly restored and with IT no abatement whatever
of my zeal and devotion to that great science, which
in this country OF all Others needs to be meftodealy
and carefully sutherland seeking, moreover, INDUS
trious and continued occupation, SO essential to hepr-
in land that knows oilers reso ed TO re-esta
blish the Law lnstuon-and have selected Phila-
deiphia the place Of lis location. In 9oag have
thought that city IN the mon affords such various
and ample Inducements for all the purposes OF the
| Law Sutherland that in none Il worthy
| economy be preserved, and yet with every requisite
comfort.

lance the former OCCASION regard to the pdrftc
uiars of my enterprise induce to anticipate similar
inquiries now-and, TO meet all such in advance,
now address this Circular, all that | offer In
explanation, and, probably AZ all that may be requ-
site.
