their former contributions, and from those who have not at present contributed towards that important object, the Syndicate are of opinion, that measures should immediately be taken for enabling the Vice-Chancellor to meet the deficiency above stated. "That the Syndicate see no better means of effecting this purpose than by appropriating thereto, for a limited period, a part of the Library Fund.' "That they therefore recommend that the Library Fund' be charged with the annual payment of 5001. for a term of years not exceeding 12-upon which annuity they are of opinion that the requisite sum may be raised. "In making this proposition, the Syndicate deem it right to observe that, the whole of the Library fund accruing to the present time has not been expended, but that they do not think it advisable that the accumulations amounting to 3777-91., new 3 per cent. stock, should be applied towards the payment of the existing debt. 66 They would further observe, that the principle of this proposition is recognised in the Report of a Syndicate which was printed and circulated throughout the University in the month of February, 1831; and the Syndicate now recommend this course with the greater confidence, inasmuch as the present annual amount of the Library Fund (1600.) exceeds that contemplated by the framers of the original grace of the 7th of December, 1825, by the sum of 4001."

An Address, embodying an announcement of our new arrangements, of which the present Number is in part a foretaste, will appear in the February Number. The Title and Index to Volume XXI. 1839, will be given in our next. An unavoidable accident compels us to postpone the promised continuation of our review of "Parkinson's Lectures." "D. I. E." "An Old Subscriber." ""Clericus Oxoniensis." "M. X." "L" "Northamptoniensis," &c. will perceive that we have determined to comply with the general wish of the Subscribers, and continue our Ecclesiastical Intelligence, but more fully than heretofore. Several Ordinations which we have received, in consequence of the proverbial shortness of the Christmas month, must stand over. "R. M. T." The Sonnet shall appear. "A. W." We plead guilty. The former part of the admirable article has been happily recovered, and we shall be obliged for the portion returned, as soon as convenient, that we may go early to press. We shall explain and apologize to our valuable friend in a few days. Messrs. Gray's "Belfast organ "shall have honourable mention, as it richly merits, in our proposed continuation of the " Organo-Historica." |
