Excerpt from A System of Mechanics, for the Use of the Students in the University of Dublin

Trinity College, its Fellows can scarcely be ex pected to. Devote themselves to any work of re search, or even of compilation; constantly em ployed in the duties of tuition, which harass the mind more than the most abstract studies, they can have but little inclination, at the close of the day, to commence a new career of labour. How different is this from the state of the English Universities, where the tutors constitute a very small part of the body, and the remainder have both leisure and incitement to pursue their pecu liar studies, and increase the literary fame of their Alma Mater by their publications. In the pre sent case the author happened to be less occupied than most of his brethren, yet he was engaged from seven to eight hours daily in academical duties for, the year during which he c'o'mposed this work.
