They make one other singular complaint, viz., that no provision is made for supplying the lay students with instruction in theology. It ought to be said in defence of the cardinal and the bishops, though the memorialists probably could not venture to say it, that the church hardly pretends that the university is an efficient or complete instrument of education.
Miranda then went to Washington, saw the President and the Secretary, and wrote to the memorialists that he had fully unfolded his plans to both. In the course of a long conversation with Mr.

Accordingly, on Christmas day, 1824, I addressed to him the following letter; Maranham, Dec. 25,1824.
