Southey has just paid £60, out of £200 for being articles to a Sanitary Surveyor: such an amount to be paid out of 80 would be impossible.

Three years is too short a time for the completion of a medical or legal course, and would barely suffice for preliminary, if engineering were chosen.
It is very rare in England for a boy under 19 to pass the London Matric. In Hong-Kong, Certificated Teachers of great experience and ability find it sufficiently hard; it is doubtful whether their pupils will succeed in surpassing their own teachers, and the average experience of England.
Latin, Greek (or French), Science, English History, Grammar, Literature, Geography, are all compulsory; a failure in one subject entailing total failure.
"Relatively highest marks", I infer that this means that candidates for Scholarship may take as many of the above subjects as they please, and the one who obtains the highest number of marks will be called Scholar.
It is much to be doubted, whether London University will award marks to papers, unless there is evidence that their regulations have been complied with, by each candidate offering all the subjects, and sending in answers to them. One of the objections raised to the existing Scholarship, was that five candidates were too small a number to show appreciation of the scholarship. The proposed scheme will probably make the number still less, if not absolutely nil.
