INSCRIPTION AT BEROOT.

MR. Maundrell, in his `interesting journey to Jerusalem, p. 56, gives the following account of an inscription, which he saw at Beroot:

"Over another gate, not far distant, we found in a piece of marble this following inscription: Τῆς τοῦ προσιόντος ἀνδρὸς ἐννοίας αἰεὶ σαφὴς ἔλεγχος ἡ πρόσοψις γείνεται, δίδου προθυμῶς ὃ παρέχεις ἢ μὴ δίδου, παρὰ γὰρ τὸ μεῖχρὸν γείνεται πλήρης χάρις.It was probably an altar inscription, relating to the offertory in the holy communion; for its sense seems to look that way; and it is well known that the comers to the blessed sacrament were called by the ancients by the peculiar name of oἳ προσίοντες.”

This inscription consists of four Iambic verses; a circumstance which appears to have escaped the notice of Mr. Maundrell : μικρὸν should undoubtedly be substituted in the place of μειχρόν. The following will probably present a true copy of the inscription:

THC ΤΟΥ ΠΡOCIONTOC ΑΝΔΡΟΣ ENNOIAC AEI

A DEFENCE OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
No. I.

WHEN I observed in a popular periodical work, an attack on

Public Schools, authoritative in its style, illiberal in its spirit, inconclusive in its argument, and incorrect in its statements, I expected to see in some publications of opposite principles a regular confutation of it. Their silence I construed into a general conviction that the attack would be a telum imbelle; that the envy and love of detraction, which aimed the blow, would be so obvious as to render it harmless. My conversation with literary characters tended to confirm that construction. But when I considered the extensive range of that publication, and the merit which distinguishes many of its articles, it appeared probable that the greater number of its readers would not stoop to detect sophisms, or to unravel the clue of the maze of misrepresentation; I thought it therefore expedient that some notice should be taken of this article, that neither apparent indifference nor real contempt might be mistaken for general acquiescence. As a Classical work, like yours, cannot be contaminated by party principles; and as you have shown your impartiality by admitting different views of University education, I have chosen the Classical Journal as a vehicle peculiarly appropriated to this disquisition. It will not be necessary to follow the writer through all the windings and doublings of his course; if he can once be driven from his strongest stations of attack,
