TESTIMONIALS

IN FAVOUR OF

HENRY JONES, M.A.,

CANDIDATE FOR THE CHAIR OF

LOGIC, MENTAL AND MORAL PHILOSOPHY, AND POLITICAL ECONOMY IN UNIVERSITY

COLLEGE, LIVERPOOL.

THE UNIVERSITY, GLASGOW,
October 20th, 1881.

TO THE COUNCIL OF UNIVERSITY COLLEGE,

LIVERPOOL.

GENTLEMEN,

I beg to offer myself as a Candidate for the Professorship of Logic, Mental and Moral Philosophy, and Political Economy in University College, Liverpool, and to submit to your notice the accompanying Testimonials.

I am twenty-nine years of age. My education was commenced at a Welsh Elementary School, and continued at the Bangor Normal College, which I entered at the age of eighteen years. On that occasion I was placed at the head of the list of the Bangor candidates for the Queen's Scholarship, a position which I continued to hold in all subsequent examinations throughout my course. At the age of twenty I was appointed to the Head Mastership of the Amman Iron Works British School. After two years of successful work I gave up the School, with a view to preparing for a University course; and in the same year I took the Williams's Bursary, after an examination in London, and entered the University of Glasgow (Nov., 1875). At the expiry of my Bursary in 1878, I took the degree of M.A., with First Class Honours in Philosophy,

and gained the Clark Fellowship, which I continue to hold.

For the last three years I have devoted myself to the further study of Philosophy, English Literature, and Political Economy, have acted as Assistant to the Professor of Moral Philosophy, and delivered Courses of Lectures on Logic, Philosophy, and Literature, in connection with this University.

I am, GENTLEMEN,

Your obedient Servant,

HENRY JONES.
