Of all public institutions none, I believe, is better known for its great utility and general benefits than the royal foundation of CHRIST'S HOSPITAL, vulgarly called the BLUE-COAT SCHOOL. It has already stood the test of time for upwards of two centuries and a half; and the number of British youths who have been educated here since its establish ment in 1552, would amount to an incredible number. Different from the Charter-house and other public semina ries, it confines itself to the limits of a liberal education, without professing to polish its scholars or to refine them with modern improvements. The benefits of this institution being also widely diffused over all ranks and descriptions of people, a consequent mixture of the sons of gentlemen and tradesmen must ensue; the directors have, therefore, judiciously divided the branches of education into several departments, which may be classed under the following heads :-a Grammar School, Writing and Mathematical School, with a Drawing School which belongs exclusively to the mathematical.

The Grammar School is, as its name implies, entirely devoted to the study of the classics, with occasional lessons in geography and natural history This school is under the guidance of the Rev. Dr. TROLLOPE, a gentleman whose knowledge, whether classical or general, is of the most extensive and valuable description. By a well-timed severity, he has ensored to himself both the respect and love of his scholars-few of whom would depreciate his character from the remembrance of a punishment or the disappointinent of a holiday. The four head boys, generally denominated Grecians, are under the more immediate tuition of the doctor; the first of these is annually sent to the University, of Cambridge, and once in seven years to Oxford. A circumstance which redounds to the credit of Dr. T.'s instructions, and should not be omitted, is, that a quondam pupil of his has lately obtained NEW MONTHLY MAG.-No, 26.

[VOL. V.

the honour of senior wrangler and a fellowship, two of the highest distinctions of the university. The inferior boys of this school rise by gradual preferiment to the higher classes, sooner or later, according to their own natural ability or exertions; and it will be doing inadequate justice not to mention, that out of this school many illustrious names are known in the literary world, and indeed in almost every department of science.

The Writing School, when compared with the grammar, may be considered as inferior, because the boys in general, independent of their ignorance of the Latin tongue, are more deficient in common diction, reading and spelling; though now, since Dr. Trollope has had the management of this latter branch, they are considerably improving. Writing and arithmetic are carried to perfection under Messrs. GODDARD and PEACOCK. Although writing and arithmetic contribute but little to the expansion of the mental faculties, yet their general utility is so obvious and indispensable, that the want of other knowledge is but little felt; especially as the mercantile world presents a wide and fruitful field to industrious youth.

The Mathematical School is of later date than the preceding, Charles II. being the original founder. By this royal act of munificence, a midshipman's commission, with instruments for the study of navigation, clothes, &c. are given to each boy who has passed his examination at Trinity Hall. Naviga tion, mathematics, the elementary parts of astronomy, with geography and the use of the globes, are here to be acquired. Lessons in drawing are also given by Mr. WELLS, and form no despicable part of nautical education. These boys, or as they are commonly called, King's scholars, whether from ancient custom, or the nature of their future profession, consider themselves as a sort of superior beings to the other boys, and treat them with a contempt that is really ridiculous and disgusting. They have, however, till very lately laboured under much disadvantage from their inattention to reading and orthography. There is besides this VOL. V.
