The Rev. F. D. Maurice is about to deliver a
course of seven lectures on the representation of the people, and how it is con- nected with the education of the people, at the Working Men's College, Great Ormond. Street, on the Mondays and Fridays in June, commencing with. next Friday, the 9th June. The profits of the course, for which the charge is- a guinea (four shillings will be charged for each lecture separately) are to go to the new building of the-college. The need for this new building is, we be- lieve, great, and the course itself, of which we have a syllabus before us, promises to be at the present moment so interesting that we trust the lectures will be attended by a crowded audience. We gather from the syllabus that Mr. Maurice would favour the principle of representing ideas not entertained by the most nume- rous class, that his object would be to get as adequate a represen- tation of the total moral originality and purpose of the com- munity as machinery of any sort will give.
