Excerpt from The Queen's University in Ireland, and the Queen's Colleges: Their Progress and Present State, an Address Delivered at the Distribution of Prizes in Queen's College, Cork; November 27th, 1856 Since the delivery Of this Address some discussion has taken place as to the num bers which I had given for the proportion Of Students in the University of Dublin Who should be classed as Lay or Divinity Students, respectively. The result of this discussion, although not in any manner affecting the argument employed or the conclusion arrived at in the Address, has yet enabled me to render the figures given more authentically correct than the sources of information previously available to me had allowed. I have, therefore, adopted the amended numbers, and I have given, in some short notes in an Appendix, the ex planations and authorities upon which the several numerical results stated have been adopted.
