MIR. Buckiusham'- Lecture on the Middle

We were glad 10 perceive, by the increased
number of the audience the third lecture of this in
terestpg course, Tuesday evening that the public
attention has been fairly reused by the proceeding
lectures and that our intellectual citizens have mani
tested their warm interest in the stsrtliugly novel
views which MIR Buckingham maintains with regard
10 the intellectual and religious condition % our ences
tors. The lecture OF Tuesday evening was devoted to
a review OF the schools and universities OF the Middle
Ages and the facilities which existed for popular cdu
cation and the lecturer demonstrated by great msss
OF evidence that the views generally entertained with
regard the intellectual advantages then enjoyed by
mankind entirely opposed to historic truth. lie
proved that abundance of schools then existed that
education was gwen gratuitousy 10 all who sought
and that the spread OF knowledge was encouraged by
those in authority both by preccpt and by energetic
practical exerton.
on Friday evening Mr.. Buckingham will deliver HE
fourth Lecture the subject of which will be- The Bible
In the Middle Ages We are 90 accustomed TO believe
that In those centuries the Scriptures utterly neg
lected aud secluded from the access of the people
that the bare announcement of this topic will be SUIT
Client To srouse universal curiosity and when state
that Mr. Buckingham promises 10 prove that the Bible
was then read aud studied diligently, by the monks and
clergy and rendered by them far possible
enough to induce the religious public and the philo
sophie students OF History 10 avail themselves OF this
opportunity of gaining new insight into the customs
OF antiquity and listen 70 the evidence which is 10 be
presented in support Of these bold and startling pFopo
