APPENDIX.

EXTRACT from the REPORT of the COMMITTEE on the CURRICULUM in 1846.

There is one regulation which we think should be instantly adopted, and laid in the form of a specific and peremptory injunction upon all those students who are attending the University of Edinburgh, and intending for the ministry of the Free Church. We have now our own Moral Philosophy, and that is the Moral Philosophy which our Edinburgh students at least ought to acquire previous to their admission into the Hall. It would be too much to exact this from the students of the other Scottish Universities, and thus subject them to an additional session of study and residence in Edinburgh. But it is not too much (otherwise we should be giving up the use and importance of having an Ethical class of our own at all), to expect and require of our Edinburgh University students that they should attend the ethical lessons which we have provided for them.

Before entering on the theological part of our curriculum, in our proposals for which we shall be greatly more definite, it is necessary that we should advert to another class which has been more recently instituted in our New College, having been only taught for one session, but with the most encouraging success and a very large attendance, -the class of Natural Science. To estimate aright the theological importance of this class, let it be considered that it includes more especially that department of natural science in which the evidences of an intelligent and designing Cause are both by far the most abundant and the most palpable; insomuch that though they be the mental phenomena, and more especially those of conscience, which afford to the

eye of reason the most satisfactory demonstration of a God, it is from the one department of Natural History that Natural Theology draws her largest resources in building up her argument for a Deity from the constitution of the material world. But over and above this
