SIR,

No. 1925 of 1851.

GENERAL DEPARTMENT.

M. STOVELL, Esq.,

Secretary to the Board of Education.

With reference to the correspondence in regard to the final Examination of the Grant Medical College, I am directed by the Right Hon'ble the Governor in Council to enclose, for the information of the Board, the appended copy of a letter dated 18th ultimo, and its several enclosures, from Dr. McLennan, reporting the result of the Examination, and of my reply, with a request that they may be published in the Board's next Annual Report. I have the honor to be, &c., (Signed) J. G. LUMSDEN, Secretary to Government.

[blocks in formation]

The Right Hon'ble the Governor in Council has perused your letter of the 18th ultimo, reporting the results of the recent Examination of the Grant Medical College, and has directed me to communicate to you in reply the following observations :

2. The course of Examination detailed in the first 15 paras. of your letter, appears to have been eminently practical and searching in all its details, and the result, which has enabled you to pronounce that the graduates have proved their fitness to as great

a degree as you believe is ever done in Europe, cannot but be a subject of sincere gratification to all who have at heart the interests of Native education.

It has very properly been your aim to prevent the candidates from placing any dependence on retentive memories for finding answers to the questions given. This is the distinguishing and highly judicious characteristic of the late Examination, the successful issue of which is the more creditable to the parties so severely tested, and the better calculated to remove all doubts of the nature referred to in your 17th para.

4. The Right Hon'ble the Governor in Council entirely concurs in the encomiums which you pass on the Principal and Professors of the College: he believes that the entire success which has attended their endeavours will prove, in the opinion of the Gentlemen, their highest and sufficient reward.

5. A copy of your letter has been furnished to the Board of Education, and will, with its accompaniments, be printed in their next Annual Report.*

I have the honor to be, &c.,

Bombay Castle, 10th May 1851.

(Signed) J. G. LUMSDEN,

Secretary to Government.

The documents alluded to will be found in Appendix O, at page of the annexed Report of the Grant Medical College for the Session 1850-51.

Under instructions from Government, I have the honor to submit, to be laid before the Board, the accompanying original documents relating to the Ahmedabad Native Library.

2. This Library is, I beg to premise, attached to, and was established by the Vernacular Society of Gujerat, and it is to the courtesy of the Managing Committee I am indebted for the information now forwarded, and without which I could not have complied with the instructions above alluded to.

3. The Board will observe that the total number of books in different languages the Library contains, is 453, of which 250 are English, and 124 Gujerati. A list in Gujerati is attached to this Report.

4. The number of readers is altogether 73, of whom 49 understand and read English, and of these, again, 18 are pupils of the Government English School.

5. The Library is reported to work well, but a supply of books, both English, Gujerati, and Marahti, is much required, and the Secretary informs me that the privilege of franking letters and books to different parts of the country would save the Society about 100 Rs. per annum, and prove a great boon. I have the honor to be, Sir,

(Signed)

Your most obedient Servant,

H. H. HARRISON, Judge.

Ahmedabad, Court of Adawlut, 25th January 1851.
