The Universities of Scotland; Past, Present, and Possible: With an Appendix of Documents Relating to the Higher Instruction (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Universities of Scotland; Past, Present, and Possible: With an Appendix of Documents Relating to the Higher Instruction
The substance of the following pages has already, to some extent, appeared in Articles, which I have contributed from time to time, to the North British Review. These Articles notwithstanding their many defects, having served the purpose of directing the attention of a portion of the public to the want of adequate provision for the higher instruction, and for a learned class in Scotland, an opinion was expressed by several friends in whom I had confidence, that the views which we held in common would be more readily disseminated by their republication, in a more complete and more accessible form, than by any other means which we could at present command. The hope of such a result is my only apology for again offering to the public, observations which have already received a degree of attention which, I am well aware is more than commensurate with their merits.
For the interesting Appendix on the qualifications which have hitherto been, and which in future are to be, exacted from Candidates for the Bar, I am indebted to the kindness of the Dean of Faculty, to whom, as well as to those friends who have favoured me with their remarks and their criticisms, both whilst the present sheets were passing through the press, and when the Articles of which I have spoken originally appeared in the Review, I beg to offer my warmest thanks.
