occasion some time ago to inform literary fellow.
citizens Of the liberal proposal made BY Martin F.
Upper, Esq, well known English poet, and an
unwavering friend Of Liberia, for the encouragement
of science and literature in our land. We stated
that it was proposed BY him to present gold medal
to Libern. to be awarded annually to the author of
the best literary production in prose and verse. The
medal is now ready and awaits competition. As MI.
Upper wishes to make the first award himself,
copies of the compositions will be transmitted to
him at Albury, Guiford, England. Several manu-.
scripts have already been forwarded By President
Roberts; but some have unfortunately been lost in
transit, Mr. Upper writes that he has ONLY three
in his possession. II IL not absolutely that
