THE INSTITUTIONS OF POPULAR EDUCATION. AN ESSAY: TO WHICH THE MANCHESTER PRIZE WAS ADJUDGED. BY THE REV. RICHARD WINTER HAMILTON, LL.D., D. D. LONDON: HAMILTON, ADAMS, & CO., PATERNOSTER-ROW; JACKSON & WALFORD: LEEDS: J. Y. KNIGHT, 39, BRIGGATE. M DCCC XLV. TO THE RIGHT HON. EARL FITZWILLIAM, ETC., ETC., ETC. MY LORD, I beg You to accept the Dedication of this Volume. It is written upon a theme which has ever commanded Your close attention and received Your munificent support. As a Treatise, it is not improbable that it may contain opinions with which Your judgment does not coincide. Its spirit of freedom and candour I am confident that You will approve. Were I to address Your Lordship, as did Walker King at an early period of Your life, it would be * Bishop of Rochester, in a Dedication prefixed to an Edition of Burke. |
