This is to be the perpetual rule for the Senatus in
deciding."
After stating some other conditions, the document thus concludes:
"And so may a little trace of help to the young heroic soul struggling
for what is highest spring from this poor arrangement and bequest.
May it run for ever, if it can, as a thread of pure water from the
Scottish rocks, trickling into its little basin by the thirsty wayside
for those to whom it veritably belongs. Amen. Such is my bequest to
Edinburgh University. In witness whereof these presents, written upon
this and the two preceding pages by James Steven Burns, clerk to John
Cook, writer to the signet, are subscribed by me at Chelsea, the
20th day of June, 1867, before these witnesses: John Forster,
barrister-at-law, man of letters, etc., residing at Palace-gate House,
Kensington, London; and James Anthony Froude, man of letters, residing
at No. 5, Onslow Gardens, Brompton, London.
