d to the superior Clergy in _England_, who would give at least what
Duplicates they have upon such an useful Occasion; and what necessary
Collection of Books cannot be obtain'd by begging, they may buy as soon
as they shall be able to stock their Library; as a great Help to which I
believe considerable Contributions would be made by the Clergy,
Burgesses, and Gentry of the Country, if upon easy Terms they were
allowed the Use of the Library at certain Hours, at such Times as they
shall be at _Williamsburgh_, either for Pleasure or upon Business.

The Office of Librarian is given to Mr. _John Harris_ the Usher, in
order to make his Place more agreeable to his Merit; and if the Gardener
was made to execute the Office of Porter for his present Salary, it
would be no great Hardship upon him, and would be an Ease to the
College; and for the Benefit and Encouragement of the House-Keeper
several small necessary Pensions and Privileges might be contrived more

the while of a Person of Integrity, Knowledge, and Prudence, to
undertake and carry on so troublesom an Office.

The greater the Number of Collegians, the greater would be the Gain of
the House-Keeper; so that when the College should be full and compleat
as here directed and wished, the Collegians may be boarded upon easier
Terms; boarded I say; because if any but the President dieted
themselves, it would create Confusion; and if any belonging to the
College but such Masters as have Families were permitted to eat
elsewhere, it would not be worth any body's while to lay in Provision,
when they could not tell what Number they must provide for.

As for the _English_ College Customs of _Commons_, &c. it is thought as
yet more adviseable to board in the College than to keep to those
Methods, till the Country affords better Conveniencies and Opportunities
for so doing.

The _Indians_ who are upon Mr. _Boyle_'s Foundation have now a handsom
Apartment for themselves and their Master, built near the College,
which useful Contrivance ought to be carried on to the utmost Advantage
in the real Education and Conversion of the Infidels; for hitherto but
little Good has been done therein, though abundance of Money has been
laid out, and a great many Endeavours have been used, and much Pains
taken for that Purpose.

The young _Indians_, procured from the tributary or foreign Nations with
much Difficulty, were forme
