other commodities, can avoid this conse- quence. But we shall talk of this when we meet. It is not tyorth while to write ahout it. 84. — T&Br. Chalmers. Ediabutgh, 21st Deceinber, 1819. My dear- Sir — I have read your pamphlet* with great pleasure and full assent. I cannot say on this occasion that you have made a convert of me, for my sentiments have always been in unison with those which you express,- both as to the peculiar advantages of our system of paro- chial education, and as to the cau...ses which have deprived our great towns of most of its benefits* The reasoning in the last six or seven pages of your pamphlet I take to be as sound and convincing as the eloquence with -^hich it is expressed is admirable and touching. The only thing to be doubted or questioned is, whether the evil has not got to too great a head to be nOw successfully combated. But zeal and talents like yours have already wrought greater works than this ; and it is extremely com- fortable to think that the effort is not only not intermina- ble, as you have well remarked, but that even its partial success will be attended with great benefits, and that every school established upon right principles will not Only be a pattern and an incitement to others, but will at all events, and of itself, do a great deal of permanent good.
