experienced the want of facilities which might be afforded
by a sufficiently-comprehensive public institution, where a
practical and colloquial acquaintance with the more im-
portant modern oriental languages might be acquired.

In France, Germany, and Austria-Hungary there exists
institutions of magnitude and importance for affording in-
struction in the spoken and written oriental dialects and in
matters relating to the history, commerce, and political
economy of the countries in which those languages are
spoken.

In France the School of Living Oriental Languages, which
was founded nearly 100 years ago, receives from the State
the free use of a large building and a grant of over £6,000
per annum; gratuitous instruction is there given in the chief
modern oriental languages, and a commercial section has
recently been added to it by the Minister of Public Instruc-
tion.

The Imperial Oriental Academy of Vienna has long been
of world-wide celebrity, and has greatly contributed to the
extension of commerce in Austria-Hungary, whilst in Berlin
the Imperial German School of Living Oriental Languages,
established a year ago upon a very important footing, has
already received considerable development. This school is
supported by an annual subvention of £3,600, and the
tuition there is entirely gratuitous.

Although the scope of action of the Imperial Institute, as
defined by its charter, does not embrace the exercise of
actual educational functions, its governing body has con-
sidered that the creation and development of an organization
for providing, in the United Kingdom, the important aid to
the official and commercial sections of the community which
is furnished to continental nations by such establishments
as above named, might prove a work of considerable utility.

There have existed at University College and at King's
Colleges, since their foundation, professorships of certain
oriental languages: the Indian School of University College
on the one hand, and the Oriental Section of King's College
on the other, have accomplished useful work in the prepara-
tion of candidates for the Indian Civil Service and other
Government departments, by affording facilities for the study
of some of the eastern languages.

The Committee of the Institute having met with a cordial
response from the Councils of the two Colleges to a proposal
to consolidate the work of this nature now being performed
there, and to bring it into harmonious working with a
scheme for affording practical instruction in other important
oriental languages, now desire to direct attention to the
results of a careful consideration of the whole subject by a
Special Commiteee, appointed by them for that purpose,
which includes representatives of the Councils of University
and King's Colleges, and of which the following are the
members:-

Sir Frederick Abel, C.B., D.C.L., D.Sc., F.R.S. (Chair-
man); Colonel Sir Edward Bradford, K.C.S.I.; Sir Francis
Dillon Bell, K.C.M.G., C.B.; Colonel Sir Charles Wilson,
R.E., K.C.B., K.C.M.G.; Sir Thomas Wade, G.C.M.G.,
K.C.B.; Major-General Sir Frederic Goldsmid, K.C.S.I.,
C.B.; Sir Philip Magnus; Major C. M. Watson, R.E.,
C.M.G.; Sir George Young, Bart., LL.D., and Professor
Henry Morley, LL.D. (nominated by the Council of Uni-
versity College); the Rev. Henry Wach, D.D., and Professor
R. K. Douglas (nominated by the Council of King's College).

Arrangements have been completed by this Committee,
and approved of by the governing bodies of the Imperial
Institute and of the two Colleges, for the organization of a
school in London, designed both for giving instruction in
modern oriental languages, and also for the pursuit of
studies relating to the history, literature, commercial and
physical geography, political economy, and the natural and
industrial resources of the countries and districts in which
the various languages are used.

It is in contemplation to arrange for the delivery of special
lectures, or courses of lectures, from time to time, in con-
nection with the school, by experts or specialists in any of
the foregoing subjects.

This school will be carried on under the immediate direc-
tion of the Committee above specified.

The classes which the School of Modern Oriental Studies
comprises are divided under two heads:-

Division I. includes classes for all oriental languages
especially required by students qualifying for examinations
for the Indian Civil Service, the instruction being of the
same character as that provided for some time past at
University College and at King's College.

These clases will, from the commencement of the autumn
term of 1889, be continued at University College, and will be
conducted under regulations common to the other classes
which combine with them to constitute the general school.

This division includes instruction in Sanscrit, Bengali,
Hindi, Hindustani, Tamil, Telugu, Punjabi, Pali, Marathi,
Gujarati, Arabic, and Persian.

Division II. consists mainly of classes for modern oriental
languages other than the Indian languages.

The courses of tuition will be of a practical rather than of
an academic character; they will have particular reference
to commercial and official requirements, and to the facili-
tation of colloquial intercourse with natives of oriental
countries.

It is in contemplation, so soon as the number of students
warrants the expenditure, to secure the services of native
readers and teachers of conversation in connection with the
classes of this division.

The languages to be taught in Division II. comprise col-
loquial Arabic, modern Greek, colloquial Persian, Russian,
Turkish, Chinese, Burmese, Japanese, Malay, and Swaheli.

The classes under this division will be conducted at King's
College, where arrangements will also be made for the esta-
blishment of evening classes.

The names of instructors and the places where various
classes will be held are given below.

There will be three terms of about ten weeks in each
year, as follows: Autumn term, commencing about the
beginning of October; spring term, commencing about the
middle of January; summer term, commencing early in
May.

The school will open with the autumn term of 1889.

A fee of three guineas per term will have to be paid in
advance by each student for each language taken up for
instruction. This payment will entitle the student to the
use, within the Colleges, of text-books, dictionaries, and
works of reference required in connection with the particular
language taught, and to the use of all the facilities which it
is proposed to secure in the development of the school.

Accommodation will be provided to enable students to
pursue their studies at hours when the classes are not held.

The libraries of both Colleges will be open to students in
any of the classes of the school during the usual hours of
study.

Intending students should communicate with the Organ-
izing Secretary, at the offices of the Imperial Institute,
1, Adam Street, Adelphi, London, W.C., where the registra-
tion of students will take place, and where all information
regarding the school will be supplied.
