Province, to enable the Corporation to erect a suitable building for
the President, Professors and Students; and to procure a Library, and
Philosophical apparatus for the same. The Legislature of the Province
has likewise granted a liberal sum for the same purpose; in consequence
of which a building on a liberal scale is to be immediately erected on
a conspicuous part of the rising ground adjoining the town.

The most general seminary for the education of the bulk of the
population is the Madras School. The Lieutenant-Governor and a number
of the first characters in the Province, have the management of this
seminary, which is incorporated by the name of "The Governor and
Trustees of the Madras School in New-Brunswick." As most of the Parish
Schools in the Province are on the Madras system of education, and
under the direction of the corporation, I shall close this short sketch
of the state of learning in this Province with a statement of that
institution copied from the last report.
