11. I have no hesitation, however, bringing forward the subject once more, believing that such application of a portion of the Fund would be in accordance with the most enlightened Policy, whilst it would also harmonise, no doubt, with English sympathies and feeling.

19. My proposition, moreover, starts no new scheme, which, however philanthropical, involves speculative issues. It is a proposal to remove obstacles from the progress of the Education movement, of the most useful and civilising tendency amongst the singular races brought together under the British Flag. A great step has already been made in advance, and it has now become necessary to provide material means of expansion for that which otherwise is liable to be choked by the very progress which it has made, and is making.
