The second lecture of t]le University
Extension Course by Prof. Smith. was
given at st. Peters Chapel on Monday
night to about the same number of
persons as the lecture a fortnight pre-
vlous. The time embraced was the
development of English civilization
from the time of King Alfred to the
poet Chaucer. Alfred was a great ruler.
and besides fighting the piratical
Danes, whose chief business seemed
to be to rob the people and burn the
towns in Great Britain, was great
promoter Of material development and
education, and according to whose tes-
timony there was scarcely person in
the lower half of England who could
read and translate when he came to
the rulership. The lecturer said the
great stimulus to education, learning
and literature was promoted by the
translation of the Bible by Wickliff
and subsequently by Tyndal. into the
English language. 1t was the book
that had Inspired poetry, art, science
and general iiteratuFe The next lee
ture will commence with Shakespeare.
The members of the class who want to
review the lesson in advance, will meat
