XI.—From John Carmichael, Esq., A.M., Professor of Classics and Mathematics, Congregational College of Victoria.

I Have known Mr. Macgregor for several years in Melbourne, and knew the reputation of his family at home as dis-tinguished students of the University of Edinburgh, and among their number was ranked Mr. Angus Macgregor. I know Mr. Macgregor for a nice Classical scholar, using that term in its academic sense. As a Mathematician, I consider that he has considerable natural aptitude for that science, and that he has knowledge amply sufficient to qualify him for conducting the Mathematical department of any Upper School. A kindly manner and strong common sense, both of which Mr. Macgregor possesses, ought to render him a favourite teacher.
