How a municipality, or rural parish or township, wanting to organize a new school of any sort, is to proceed, in order to command the assistance and compaction of the Commissioners and clause loth provides, that' In all municipal corporations, already or here after incorporated, the town-councils may lay before the Commissioners, plans and estimates for the establishment of new schools, [we presume Infant, Ordinary, Model, or N ormsl.] and for the support of schools already existing, with the pro posed rules and regulations for the conduct of those schools and the Commissioners may ap prove of the same in the whole, or in part, or with variations. And authorize the town-councils to levy a rate for carrying into effect the scheme as approved by the Commissioners; and, after the rules for the conduct of any school, have been approved or fixed by the Commissioners, they are not to be altered without their con sent. We pause on this binding clause, without at once rejecting it, though preliminary appro bation of rules and regulations is the likost thing in the world to interference or to saying, If you do not adopt our method, you shall have none of the public money, nor be allowed to levy a rate for education. The amount of rate is not to be under sixpence, nor to exceed a shilling in the pound, and is to be collected along with the poor-rate, and paid over to the County Treasurer, and by him to the Town Councils. Or rural School Committees, to be employed for the specified uses for which the school rate was levied. To enable the Commissioners to fulfil their functions, the three permanent members, with the concurrence of one of the State Oficers, are to appoint not more than ten Inspectors, whose remuneration and travelling allowance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tait's Edinburgh Magazine for 1849, Vol. 16 Consequently, the history of treaties is too frequently the history of the most flagrant delusions and insults which mankind have ever put upon each other. We all know that among the worst imperfections of language is its inadequacy to paint ideas so as to guard against involuntary misconceptions; but in diplomacy language usually lies less open to blame than the deceitfulness with which it is employed. Nevertheless, the greatest source of evil is the perverse ingenuity of men who, having entered into an agreement, immediately exercise their utmost ingenuity to invent interpretations by which they may twist the meaning of the instrument to their own advantage.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tait's Edinburgh Magazine, Vol. 24: From January to December, 1857 Government by the people is avowedly sought by all the Liberal party; and by almost all parties in this country. The Conservative party, with few exceptions, profess the same principle. In France, the electors of the legislative assemblies are obviously not the people. In Russia, the people do not govern; but are battered or bought, and governed. Even in the United States, the free coloured men do not govern, for their citizen ship is denied, and the slaves carry votes for their owners, but none for themselves. The inhabitants of India do not have government by the people; but they are nearer to that result than either French, Russians, or americanised-africans ot' the United States, for they have a free press, un fettered rights of speech, and assiduous efforts made for their intellectual and religious progress.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Vol. 84: July December, 1858 It was to the other element, shown in idle luxury and the pride of wealth, that Spain, at a time when she seemed striding onward to European dominion, owed her fall. With thankfulness we feel that from neither of these sources of ruin has the faintest cloud yet darkened the lustre of British prosperity. Wherever our sword has been drawn, it has been that of the protector and the liberator, not of the oppressor and enslaver - Pacisque imponere morem, Parcere subjectis et debellaresuperbos. To no chapters in the proud history of our battles can we point with more confidence for the vindication of this truth, than to those two last Indian wars, which, to a heedless observer, judging of them by analogy with the acts of other powers, might be deemed to illustrate the spirit of aggression. What was the chief result of the campaign on the Sutlej, but the salvation of the submissive people of Hindostan from the tyrannous rule of a savage soldiery? Seventy thousand strong, with arms and money, and the powerful discipline which old Runjeet Singh had communicated to them, they thought they might take India and keep it to themselves. The bloody reign of anarchy and extirpation which such an oligarchy would have held had they been successful, can be conceived only from the scenes which then took place at Lahore, and those which befell at Delhi and Cawnpore the other day. But for that protracted list of bloody battles, of which Ferozeshah, Aliwal, Sobraon, and Chillianwallah are still familiar to us, the project would have succeeded. And in the last and most desperate of our trials, who were the enemies? Not the docile people of the land - for they remained true even during the temporary paralysis of the strong protecting hand but a pampered soldiery, trained to mimic our own supreme warlike tactics, and idly dreaming that the Empire which they thought the held for us, they might take an hold for themselves. No: from the we are hereafter to stand or to fall, we must for ever be an example to the world, as the first nation that has wielded its power, not in selfishness or cruelty, but in beneficence. Nor have our late terrible trials passed away without assuring us that we are free from all symptoms of moral decay. When the war with Russia began, it was felt that we were going forth against along-cultivated warlike power - "a man of war from his youth;" and we assured ourselves with justice that the resources accumulated by a long career of peaceful progress would give the material elements of warlike strength to us much more abundantly than the development of purely military power could impart them to our enemy. The wealth accumulated by our agriculture, manufactures, and commerce, would afford inexhaustible pecuniary resources; our shipping would supply a navy or transport our troops; the mechanical skill, cultivated for peaceful purposes, would instantly be turned to the creation of destructive engines.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Vol. 130: July December 1881 Continually the door would open for a message or telegram, - now brought by MacGregor the military secretary, now by Elwes the aide-de-camp - both since gone with the rest. "You will find Standerton an excellent position for defence," the General said. "Just get into the laager there, strengthen it, take care they don't get at you unawares, and hold till I come. Troops are starting already; we have wired to India for more. By the 20th of next month I shall be there, or thereabouts, and we shall march together on Heidelberg. Don't attack; act on the defensive, and wait till I come. Get up some volunteers; set the heliograph in working order; and look after the telegraph line." "Suppose they come at me, am I to fire? I asked. "Yes: tell them to stop; and if they don't, make them! Then we shook hands, and I left him: he to see others, and arrange further plans in that comfortable study; I to pack, wish good-bye, and bump up-country in a mail-cart, doubtful if I should ever get beyond Newcastle. Who would have said that we were never to meet again? who, if that were granted, would have ventured to say that, of the two, he was to be the one taken? Travellers by mail-cart in South Africa carry but a small amount of baggage, - military men more than others, their allowance being 40 lb.; and my 40 lb. was soon made up. A saddle and bridle - absolute necessities in the country - took half at once; the moiety was a change of clothes, soap, toothbrush, and towel, - the lot to last through a campaign that promised to extend over several months at least. My sword I managed to smuggle in unperceived, with a blanket and rug to sleep under; and with every pocket full, I climbed into the front seat beside the driver, and behind six spanking ponies, gave one last parting wave to those left behind, and was off down the dusty street towards the big hill behind the town, beyond which lies that terra incognita "up-country." We were six, including the driver, a black man from the old colony; a young lady held on somewhat tenderly by a tall, black-whiskered parson, who introduced himself as the chaplain to the new Bishop of Zululand; and a couple of storekeepers also bound up-country. How we did roll, and sway, and bump, and tumble! "Bumps!" cried the black driver; and bumps it was, landing me as often as not on the foot-board, and the young lady, pleasantly enough, to judge by his face, on the parson's broad knees. Mail-cart travelling in Natal must be endured to be enjoyed; and it must be a strange, strong man who can enjoy it even then. We passed strings of waggons hopelessly stuck in the deep mud; straggling lines of soldiers marching on towards the front; the two 7-pounders afterwards heard of in such terrible straits in the battles that were to come, the fat black horses only too good a mark for Boer rifles, and Charlie P - in command trotting cheerily by their side. At night we put up at the so-called hotels by the roadside, timing our journey so as to reach one by nightfall, and starting in the cold grey of the following morning.
