PREFACE.
THE UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY was incorporated by an Act of
the Colonial Legislature, which received the Royal Assent on the
9th December, 1851. The objects set forth in the preamble are—
" the advancement of religion and morality, and the promotion of
useful knowledge." It is empowered to confer degrees in Arts,
Law, and Medicine ; and is endowed with the annual income of £5000.
The Government of the University is vested in a Senate, consisting of sixteen Fellows, who select from their own body a Provost
and Vice-Provost. Vacancies will be filled up by the Fellows themselves until there are one hundred Graduates entitled to vote, upon
whom, thereafter, the right of election will devolve.
Under the peculiar circumstances of the Colony, it was judged
expedient to establish at first, the Faculty of Arts alone, before
attempting those which are specially devoted to the professions of
Medicine and Law. The curriculum for the degree of B.A.,
includes the Classical Languages ; History, modern and ancient ;
Logic and Moral Philosophy ; Mathematics and Natural Philosophy ;
Chemistry and Experimental Physics. The teaching of the Faculty
of Arts, in addition to these subjects, will embrace, Mental and
Political Philosophy ; Natural History, comprising Mineralogy
and Geology ; Botony and Zoology ; the French and German
Languages and Literature.
The Faculty of Medicine has since been established, and a
Board of Examiners has been appointed by the Senate to test the
qualifications of Candidates for Medical Degrees.
14
PREFACE.
The immediate direction of the studies in each Faculty is
entrusted to a Board of the Professors in that Faculty ; and
questions relating to the general studies are decided (subject to the
approval of the Senate) by a Board consisting of the Provost, ViceProvost, and all the Professors, the Dean of the Faculty of Arts
being ex officio Chairman.
The maintenance of discipline is provided for by the appointment
of a Board styled the Proctorial Board, and composed of the
Provost, the Vice-Provost, the Senior Professor of Classics, the
Senior Professor of Mathematics, and the Senior Professor of
Chemistry and Experimental Physics. Subject to the general
control of the Senate, this Board is empowered to make Rules for
the due observance of order, and to visit insubordination and
irregularity, with fines or other ordinary Academic punishments.
The Lectures of the Professors are open to persons not members
of the University, upon payment of a moderate fee for each course.
The distinctive character of the Sydney University, is the
absence of any religious test, as a condition of Membership, of
honor, or of office : it is intended to supply the means of a liberal
education to "all orders and denominations without any distinction
whatever :" it possesses no theological faculty, but resembles, in
respect of its secular faculties, the Universities of the Continent,
and Edinburgh, and of Oxford, as reformed by the late Act of
Parliament.
Although the comprehensive principles on which the University
is founded do not admit of the establishment of a Theological
Faculty, the importance of religion as an element of education is
fully recognised. With a special view to this object, Government
has granted to the Senate a valuable building site of about 130 acres,
upon which, in addition to the University buildings, it is proposed
to erect Suffragan Colleges, wherein the academical secular teaching
may be supplemented at will by the dogmatical instruction and
discipline of the several Churches into which the community is
divided.
»
PREFACE.
An Act to encourage the erection of such Colleges was passed by
the Legislature during the Sesson of 1854. Ample assistance is
offered towards their endowment ; and with an enlightened liberality
the maintenance of the fundamental principle of the University—
the association of Students, ivithout respect of religious creeds, in the
cultivation of seculer knoioledge—is secured consistently with the
most perfect independence of the College authorities within their own
walls. A College in connection with the Church of England has
already been established
A College in connection with the Church of Rome has been
incorporated.
An account of the several Scholarships and other Prizes for
proficiency, which have been established out of the Funds of the
University, or have been founded by Private Benefactions will be
seen, page 87.

SCHOLARSHIPS.
1.-UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIPS
FOR
PROFICIENCY.
GENERAL
Nine general Scholarships of the annual value of £50 each, have
been established by the Senate out of the Endowment fund of the
University. Under the present By-Laws three are allotted to the
undergraduates of each of the three years of the University Coursé,
but these are not awarded unless the Candidates exhibit a degree of
proficiency satisfactory to the Examiners. They can be held for
one year only, and are given for general proficiency in the subjects
to be studied for a degree in the Faculty of Arts. Under the provisions of the By-Laws in force, previous to the year 1855, these
Scholarships were tenable during the whole of the undergraduate
course.

2—CLASSICAL SCHOLARSHIP.
A Special Scholarship of the annual value of £50 was awarded
by the Senate in the years 1854-5-6 for the encouragement of
Classical Literature, to be open to all undergraduates without
limitation who might have completed their sixth term in the
University.

SCHOLAKSHIPS.
This Scholarship ceased to be awarded on the foundation in
lS57ofthe
COOPER SCHOLARSHIP.
A sum of £1000 was given by the Honorable Sir Daniel Cooper
in 1857, for the foundation of a Scholarship for the encouragement
of Classical Literature. The Principal is invested in Government
debentures, bearing 5 per cent, interest, and yielding at the present
time £50 per annum. This Scholarship is open to all undergraduates who have completed their sixth term, and is tenable
for one year only, but it can be held with a General University or
Special Scholarship.
3.-BARKER SCHOLARSHIP.
A principal sum of £1000 was given by Thomas Barker, Esq.,
in 1853, for the foundation of a Scholarship for the encouragement
of Mathematical Science. The principal is invested in Government
Debentures, bearing 5 per cent, interest, thus yielding at the present
time £50 per annum. This Scholarship was originally open to all
undergraduates, but it can now be competed for by those of the third
year only, like the Cooper Scholarship above described, and is held
on the same terms.
1853—DAVID SCOTT MITCHELL.
1854—DAVID SCOTT MITCHELL.
1855- JAMES PATERSON.

4.-DEAS THOMSON SCHOLARSHIP.
In the year 1854, the Honorable E. Deas Thomson, Esquire,
then Colonial Secretary of New South Wales, left the Colony on a
visit to England, and on that occasion a Testimonial Fund was
raised and presented to him on account of his public services. Out
of this fund Mr. Deas Thomson appropriated £1000 to the foundation of a Scholarship in the University for the encouragement of
89
90
SCHOLARSHIPS.
Physical Science* Like the Cooper and the Barker Scholarships,
it is open to undergraduates in their sixth term only, and is held
on the same terms as those Scholarships. The Endowment money
is invested in Government Debentures, bearing 5 per cent. Interest,
and produces therefore the annual sum of £50.
1854—ROBERT SPIER WILLIS.
1855-WILLIAM SEVERIN SALTING.
1856—Not Awarded.
5.-LEVEY SCHOLARSHIP.
The sum of £500 was bequeathed by Solomon Levey, Esquire,
to the Sydney College, which had been established by a certain
number of Subscribers forming a Joint Stock Company for the purpose of imparting the rudiments of a liberal education to the youth
of the Colony. The direction of Mr. Levey in respect to this bequest was that the amount should be invested in the purchase of
shares in the College, and that the annual income arising therefrom
should be applied towards the education of Orphan Boys at the discretion of the Trustees of the College.
The Sydney College having failed in its object, the Shareholders
were empowered by an Act of the Legislature passed in 1853, to
sell to the University of Sydney the Land in Hyde Park, which had
been granted by the Government as a site for the College with the
buildings and all other property belonging to the College, including
Mr. Levey's Bequest. This sale having been effected accordingly in the same year, it was resolved by the Senate of the University, that Mr. Levey's Bequest which they had acquired should be
devoted to the foundation of a Scholarship to be called the Levey
Scholarship, but that the principal, which then, with a reduced interest amounted to £565, should be allowed to accumulate further before its actual application to the intended object.'The principal is now
represented by seven Government Debentures of £100 each, having
interest at the rate of five per cent.

Sydney have the honor to submit for the information of the
Governor and Executive Council, the following Report of their
proceedings during the year 1857.
1. The number of students admitted after having passed the
Matriculation Examination prescribed by the By-laws, was nineteen.
2. The following students having attended the University
Lectures during the prescribed period of three years, and having
passed the Statutory Examinations, and otherwise complied with

The Medal given by the Vice-Provost for the best translation
into Latin Elegiacs.
George Salting.
The Prize git en by Professor Woolley, for the best Latin Essay.
George Salting.
4. Two vacancies in the Senate occurred during the past
year,—The first was occasioned by the resignation of Mr. Broadliurst, on his departure for England. The second was caused by
the resignation of Mr. W; C. W entworth, who in consequence of
the uncertainty as to his early return to the Colony, declined to
accept the extended leave of absence, which, in consideration of his
great services to the Institution, had been proffered by the Senate.
These vacancies have been filled up by the election of the Honorable
Sir Daniel Cooper, and of Mr. Alfred Denison, who had formerly
been a Member of the Senate, but had resigned his seat on his
departure for England, in 1853.
5. A Scholarship for proficiency in Classical Literature was
founded with the munificent donation of £1000, presented,
for this object, by the Honorable Sir Daniel Cooper.
This amount
BEPORT.
103
having been invested in Government Debentures, bearing 5 per cent,
interest, the present value of the Scholarship is £50 per annum.
It is tenable for one year, and open to Students of two years'
standing in the same manner, and on the same terms as the Barker
and Deas Thomson Scholarships, founded for the encouragement
of Mathematical and Physical Science.
6. The Senate also received the handsome donation of £100,
from Mr. William Fanning, to be applied to such purpose as they
may think fit.
This sum has not as yet been appropriated.
7. The Senate were enabled to give up possession of the building
in Hyde Park, so as to admit of the opening of the Grammar School
on the 1st August last, and at the commencement of the Michaelmas
term the University building was sufficiently advanced to admit of its
occupation.
8. Considerable progress was made in the building during the
past year. The Great Hall was roofed in, and the internal
fittings have now been so far completed that it can be used as
soon as the stained glass windows, which are expected from England,
can be put up. According to late advices these windows were
rapidly approaching completion, and notice of the shipment of a
portion of them may be received by the next mail. The internal fittings
of the greater part of the compartment between the Hall and the
Tower are finished, where accommodation is afforded for the
Classical Lectures, the Library, the Registrar's Office, and
Retiring Rooms for the Professors and undergraduates. In the
Laboratory Compartment at the Southern end of the building, all the
rooms are finished, and afford the required accommodation for the
Lectures of the Prefessors of Mathematics, and of Chemistry and
Experimental Physics. Retiring Rooms, an Instrument Room, a
Laboratory with dark rooms attached, are included in this Compartment, and a tank under the roof, capable of holding 3000 gallons,"
provides an ample supply of water. An apparatus for the manufacture of gas has also been formed under the directions of the
104
REPORT.
Professor of Chemistry, by which light and the heat required for
experiments are supplied to the Laboratory. Thus the immediate
requirements of the University are provided for, but it is to be borne
in -mind, that owing to the old Sydney College property having been
handed over to the Trustees of the Grammar School at a less sum
by at least £8000 than it was originally estimated to be worth, the
funds at the disposal of the Senate for the completion of the building
will be insufficient.
9. The Nursery Garden, founded in 1856, has, by liberal
contributions from private grounds, been stocked with a large
number of young trees and shrubs, which will eventually cause a
very great saving in the laying out of the University grounds. A
Plantation has been commenced along the side of the Parramatta
Road, where a screen was most required. The further planting
of the grounds, and the formation of the gardens will be gradually
proceeded with year by year as the means at the disposal of the
Senate will allow.
10. The College of St. Paul, founded by members oftheChurch
of England, under the Colleges Act of 1854, was opened in the past
year, and several Students of the University are now in residence
there. An Act of Incorporation was passed for the College of St.
John, founded by the Members of the Roman Catholic Church,
and vigorous movements have been made by the Presbyterians
and the Wesleyan Methodists towards the establishment of Colleges
within the University for the Members of their respective creeds.
There seems therefore every reason to expect that within a short
period the University will be supported by four Colleges of Residence, in which Students not living with their- friends, can receive
moral training and religious teaching whilst attending the course of
instruction supplied by the University in its Lay Faculties. With
the prospect of these valuable adjuncts, and seeing the increasing
number of Scholars attending the higher class of Schools, the
Senate confidently anticipate that within a shorter period than might
REPORT.
have been expected, the number of Students in the University will
be such as to yield a considerable addition to its annual income,
and thus afford the means of enlarging the Professorial Staff.
11. The power of conferring Degrees having been granted by
the Crown to the University of Sydney through Her Majesty.'s
assent to an enactment of the local Legislature, the question arose
whether the Degrees would be entitled to recognition beyond the
limits of the Colony within which the provisions of the enactment
have effect. The Provost, Sir Charles Nicholson, was accordingly
requested to ascertain in England whether a further authority might
not be granted by the Crown to secure for the Degrees of this
Uuiversity the general recognition which is accorded to those
conferred by Universities established in Great Britain under Royal
Charter or Acts of the Imperial Legislature. The Provost had a
satisfactory interview on the subject with the Secretary of State
for the Colonies, and at his instance suggested to the Senate that
application should be made for the authority required through the
local Government. The annexed Petition was accordingly addressed
to Her Majesty and transmitted through His Excellency the Governor-General, whose cordial support it received. The Provost was
at the same time accredited as the Agent of the University in the
matter, and requested to furnish to the authorities in England, all
information which might be required. A favourable answer has been
received from the Secretary of State, and the Provost has been
actively engaged in communications with the Officers of Her
Majesty's government and in the preparation of a Draft Charter,
containing provisions similar to 'those of the Charter granted to the
University of London. There seems no reason to doubt that Her
Majesty will be advised to issue a Charter on these terms. The communications received from Sir Charles Nicholson on the subject
are , highly gratifying, as shewing the deep interest taken by Her
Majesty's Government in the advancement and progress of this
Institution.

Petition of the Senate of the University of Sydney to Her
Majesty the Queen, praying for the grant of the further authority
required to render the Degrees thereof entitled to recognition in all
parts of Her Majesty's Dominions.
To THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
The Humble Memorial of the Senate of the University of Sydney,
HUMBLY SHEWETH TO YOUR MAJESTY :—
1. That under an Act of the Legislature of the Colony of New
South Wales, which received your Majesty's Assent on the 9th
è
December, 1851, a Senate, consisting of sixteen Fellows, was
incorporated under the name of the University of Sydney, and
was empowered to grant, after examination, Degrees in the
Faculties of Arts, Laws, and Medicine.
2. That under the said Act the Governor of the Colony for the
time being was appointed to be the Visitor of the said University,
and the power of making Statutes and Bye-Laws touching discipline, examinations, and all other matters in general regarding
the §aid University was granted to the Senate, subject to the
condition that" such Statutes or Bye-Laws shall not have legal
effect until they shall have been submitted to the Governor and
Executive Council, and shall have been approved of and
countersigned by the Governor.
S. That on the appointment of a Senate under the said Act, the
._
selection of three Gentlemen of high attainments to fill the Professorships of Classics, of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy,

I.
and of Chemistry and Experimental Physics was confided by the
said Senate to the undernamed eminent Scholars, viz :—
Sir John Herschel, Bart.
Professor Airey, the Astronomer Royal.
• Professor Maiden.
Henry Denison, Esq.
4. That out of Sixty-three Candidates, of whom it was reported to
the Senate by Sir John Herschel that "many, in each Department,
" produced Testimonials indicating qualifications of a very high
"order as to their proficiency in their several branches of know" ledge, their College distinctions, and their general character and
"competency from ascertained experience in the duties ofinstruc"tion,"—the following Gentlemen were selected: viz.—
As Professor of Classics.
The Rev. John Woolley, D.C.L., Oxford.
First Class in
Classics in 1836 ; late Fellow of University College,
Oxford, and Head Master of King Edward VI. School;
Norwich.
As Professor of Mathematics.
Morris Birkbeck Pell, Esq., B. A., Cambridge.
Fellow of
St. John's College, and Senior Wrangler of 1849.
As Professor of Chemistry.
John Smith, Esq., M.D., of Marischall College, Aberdeen,
and Assistant Professor of Chemistry in that University.
That on the arrival of these Gentlemen in the Colony in the year
1851, the Faculty of Arts was established in the University;
and the admission, the instruction, and the examination of
Students proceeding to Degrees in that Faculty are now regulated
by the following Bye-Laws : viz.—
[Here follow the Bye-Laws relating to Admission, Lectures, yearly Exr
animations, B.A. Degrees, Examination for Honors, and M.A. Degtees.]

respect to the Examination of Candidates for Degrees in the
.
Faculties of Laws and Medicine.
[Here follow the Bye-Laws relating to the
Medicine.]
Faculties
of
Laws
7. That in the Faculty of Laws, your memorialists have not as. yet
brought the foregoing Bye-Laws relating thereto into active
• operation, but in the Faculty of Medicine a Board of Examiners
has been recently appointed, composed of the above-named
Professor of Chemistry in the University, and of eight of the
most distinguished Medical Practitioners in the City of Sydney ;
all of whom are holders of Diplomas or Degrees from the
authorized Medical Bodies of the United Kingdom.
8. That your Memorialists humbly submit to your Majesty that
the foregoing statements shew that the standard of acquirements
which must be attained by graduates in the University of
Sydney, is not below that prescribed by the most learned
Universities of the United Kingdom,—that the direction of the
studies in the University of Sydney, has been committed to
Professors who have highly distinguished themselves in British
Universities,—that the rules, under which the present high
standard in the University of Sydney has been fixed, cannot be
altered without the assent and approval of your Majesty's·
Representative in the Colony,—and that your Majesty's
Representative, as Visitor, has vested in him the power of
interference, should the rules laid down be unduly relaxed in
practice.
9. That your Memorialists therefore confidently hope and expect
that the graduates of the University of Sydney, will not be
inferior in Scholastic acquirements to the majority of graduates
of British Universities ; and they feel in consequence less
hesitation in applying to your Majesty for the concession of such
further authority, as, for the reasons hereinafter stated, appears
and
110
BEPORT ----- APPENDIX
I.
to them to be required to entitle the Degrees of the University
of Sydney to general recognition throughout your Majesty's
dominions.
10 That although the assent given by your Majesty to the Act of
the Legislature of New South Wales, under which the University of Sydney is incorporated, fully satisfies the principle of
law that the power of granting degrees should flow from the
Crown, yet, as that assent was conveyed through an Act whieh
has effect only within the Territory of New South Wales, your
Memorialists believe that Degrees granted by the University of
Sydney under the authority of the said Act, are not legally
entitled to recognition beyond the limits of New South Wales.
11. That your Memorialists are in consequence most desirous to
obtain a grant from your Majesty of Letters Patent, requiring
all your Majesty's subjects to recognize the Degrees given under
the Act of the Local Legislature, in the same manner as if the
said University of Sydney had been an University established
within the United Kingdom under a Royal Charter or an
Imperial Enactment.
12. Your Memorialists therefore most humbly pray, that your
Majesty will be pleased to take the premises into your gracious
consideration, and grant to the University Letters Patent
effective of the object therein set forth.
And your Memorialists will ever pray to your Majesty, &c.
In testimony whereof the Common Seal of the said University
has been affixed this Ninth day of February, one thousand eight
hundred and fifty seven :—

At that sight, her husband and her father cried aloud ; but
Lucius drew the knife from the wound, and held it up, and said,
" By this blood I swear that I will visit this deed upon king
Tarquinius, and all his accursed race ; neither shall any man
hereafter be king in Rome, lest he do the like wickedness." And
he gave the knife to her husband, and to her father, and to Publius
Valerius. They marvelled to hear such words from him whom
men called dull ; but they swore also, and they took up the body
of Lucretia, and carried it down into the forum ; and they said,
" Behold the deeds of the wicked family of Tarquinius." All the
people of Collatia were moved and the men took up arms', and they
set a guard at the gates, that none might go out to carry the tidings
to Tarquinius, and they followed Lucius to Rome. There too, all
the people came together, and the crier summoned them to assemble
before the tribune of the Céleres, for Lucius held that office. And
Lucius spoke to them of all the tyranny of Tarquinius and his sons,
and of the wicked deed of Sextus. And the people in their curiae
took back from Tarquinius the sovereign power, which they had
given him, and they banished him and all his family. Then the
younger men followed Lucius to Ardea, to win over the army there
to join them ; and the city was left in the charge of Spurius

There's a bower of roses by Bendemeer's stream,
And the nightingale sings round it all the day long ;
In the time of my childhood 'twas like a sweet dream
To sit in the roses and hear the biid's song.
That bower and its roses I never forget,
But oft when alone in the bloom of the year
I think,—is the nightingale singing there yet ?
Are the roses still bright by the calm Bendemeer ?
No, the roses soon wither'd that hung o'er the wave ;
But some blossoms were gather'd while freshly they shone,
And a dew was distill'd from the flowers, that gave
All the fragrance of summer, when summer was gone.
Thus memory draws from delight 'ere it dies,

Cato's merit on the whole was superior to that of any of the
great men who stood against him for that magistracy. He was temperate, brave, indefatigable, frugal of the public money, and not to
be corrupted. There is scarce any talent for public or private life
which he had not received from nature or acquired by industry.
He was a great soldier, an able orator, a learned historian, and very
knowing in rural affairs. But he had great faults. His ambition
being poisoned with envy, disturbed his own peace, and that of the
state, as long as he lived ; and though he took no bribes, he was unmerciful and unconscionable in amassing wealth, by all such methods
as the law did not pimish.

Wherever the barbarians marched, their route was marked with
blood. They ravaged or destroyed all around them. They made
no distinction between what was sacred and what was profane.
They respected no age, or sex, or rank. What escaped the fury
of the first inundation, perished in those which followed it. The
most fertile and populous provinces were converted into deserts,
in which were scattered the ruins of villages and cities, that afforded
shelter to a few miserable inhabitants whom chance had preserved,
or the sword of the enemy, wearied with destroying, had spared.
The conquerors who first settled in the countries which they had
wasted were expelled or exterminated, by new invaders, who, coming from regions farther removed from the civilized parts of the
world, were still more fierce and rapacious. This brought new
calamities upon mankind, which did not cease until the north, by
pouring forth successive swarms, was drained of people, and could
no longer furnish instruments of destruction. Famine and pestilence, which always march in the train of war, when it ravages with
such inconsiderate cruelty, raged in every part of Europe, and completed its sufferings. If a man were called to fix upon the period
in the history of the world, during which the condition of the human
race was most calamitous and afflicted, he would, without hesitation,
name that which elapsed from the death of Theodosius the Great,
to the establishment of the Lombards in Italy.

soil which it brought up indicated land to be at no great distance.
The flocks of birds increased, and were composed not only of
sea-fowl, but of such land birds as could not be supposed to fly far
from the shore. The crew of the Pinta observed a cane floating,

that of África ; but had both of them remained contented with the
possession of those fair empires, which nature itself seems indeed
to have circumscribed with spparate bounds./ But, since we engaged
in war against each other, first to acquire the sovereignty of Sicily,
and afterwards that of Spain ; since at last, like men infatuated by
fortune, we advanced so far together in our preposterous course, as
to bring even the safety of our own native seats into alternate danger,
that danger which you have so lately known, and to which we also at

the consul marched out of the fortress with his army, and went to the
opposite side of the country of the Veientes, that lies next to the
other part of Etruria, where the Veientes. kept -their herds, not expecting that a Roman army would ever penetrate into that country ;
and, having possessed himself of a great booty, he caused it to be
transported to the new-erected fortress, which booty gave him great
pleasure for both these reasons : the first that he had taken a swift
revenge on the enemy, and the other that he should supply the
garrison with everything they wanted in great abundance. For he
neither brought any part of the spoils to the treasury, nor divided
any to the soldiers who served under him : but granted all the cattle,
the beasts of burden, the yokes of oxen, the iron, and the other instruments of husbandry, to the guards of the Roman territories. After
he had performed these things, he returned home with the army.

Behold at last my letter from Padua ! Not that you are to expect any greater eloquence than is usually to be found in my epistles,
but that you may know 1 have arrived here as I purposed, and in
safety ; and I think it right, without any delay; to write you a few
words from hence for your satisfaction and my own, as far as communication by letter can be satisfactory. Here I am, then, and I
have already visited his excellency the count, and the Baron Slavata,
your worthy young friends, and while I enjoy their acquaintance
with the greatest pleasure to myself, I am perpetually reminded of
your surpassing love of me, which you show in taking so much care
not only for me, but for all my concerns and conveniences, and that
without any deserving on my part. But you are not a man to be
thanked for such a thing ; for you are even now "meditating greater
kindness still, and, in truth, as far as I am concerned, much as I am
indebted to you, I am only too willing to owe you more. But
enough of this. Your last letter, written on the first of January,
reached me on the thirteenth. It brought me no news, for it was
filled with instances of your affection,—ever pleasant indeed, but
long since known and proved,—a kind of letter which is above all
others delightful and acceptable to me; for while I read, I fancy
that I have the very Hubert himself before my eyes and in my

die nundinarum πανή-γυρις. Qusesivit ex eo, placeretne ei, judices
a praetore legi, quo consilio idem praetor uteretur ; id autem erat
de Clodianà religione ab senatu constitutum. Tum Pompeius
μάλ' αριστοκρατικως locutus est, senatûsque auctoritatem sibi
omnibus in rebus maximi videri semperque visam esse respondit,
et id multis verbis. Postea Messala consul in senatu, de Pompeio
qusesivit, quid de religione et de promulgate rogatione sentiret.
Locutus ita est in senatu, ut omnia illius ordinis consulta γενικώς
laudaret, mihique, ut assedit, dixit, se putare, satis ab se etiam de

illum judicibus effugere posse ; contraxi vela, perspiciens inopiam
judicum. Nam ut rejectio facta est clamoribus maximis ; quum
accusator, tamquam censor bonus, homines nequissimos rejiceret;
reus, tamquam clemens lanista, frugalissimum quemque secerneret ;
ut primum judices consederunt, valde diffidere boni cœperunt: non *
enim unquam turpior in ludo talario consessus fuit. Maculosi
senatores, nudi équités, tribuni non tarn aerati, quam, ut appellantur, aerarii. Pauci tarnen boni inerant, quos rejectione fugare ille
non potuerat ; qui maesti inter sui dissimiles et mserentes sedebant,
et contagione turpitudinis vehementer permovebantur. Hic, ut
quaeque res ad consilium primis postulationibus referebatur, incredibilis erat severitas, nulla varietate sententiarum : nihil impetrarat
reus : plus accusatori dabatur, quam postulabat : triumphabat (quid

4. Prove the formulae—cos (A + B) = cos A cos B — sin A sin B
cos 2 A = Z cos2 A — 1
cos (60° + A) + cos (SO0 - A) - cos Λ
5. If ^4, 5, C, be the angles of a triangle, shew that—
sin A + sin B + sin C = 4 cos | Λ cos.J B cos | C.
Hence determine the sine, of 30°.
6. If the hypothenuse and one side of a right angled triangle
be given, shew how the remaining side may be determined directly,
by means of a formula adapted to logarithmic computation.
Ex. a = 124-31, c = 201-74.
