BRITISH AND FOREIGN SCHOOL SOCIETY †.

THOUGH the nature and objects of this society are extensively known, we think it advisable, in this our first notice of its labours, to state briefly the principles by which it is directed.

The date of this institution may be inferred from the report; from which we learn that it has now existed for more than a quarter of a century—a period short indeed, if we contemplate the magnitude of the work to be completed, but still long enough to enable the public to form a correct judgment of the utility of the undertaking. The designation which the society has adopted, of The Institution for promoting the Education of the Labouring and Manufacturing Classes of Society of every religious Persuasion,' involves a principle of the highest importance for the general welfare of mankind, and one which gives to this society a distinct and decided character. How far this designation corresponds to the practice in the Society's schools, or rather how far it is strictly compatible with another regulation, which we shall presently quote, we reserve for subsequent discussion.

The two following regulations, 3 and 4, explain clearly the

There are also Latin examination papers, and papers on Greek plays, which we have not room to give.
