    TO THE JOINT BOARDS OF MANAGERS AND VISITERS OF THE . BELFAST ACADEMICAL INSTITUTION. Gentlemen, I BEG leave tnost respectfully to offer myself as a Candidate for the Professorship of Moral Philosophy and Metaphysics in the Institution under your care, and to re- quest your consideratwn of the following documents in support of my claims to that distinguished office. I am conscious of zeal, at least, in the cause of useful learning ; and my habits of life, together with the materials which I have amassed during many years of study, are such as to impart to me a degree of cheerful confidence in the prospect of being honoured by your approval. It were easy for me to multiply Testimonials, did I not conscientiously think myself bound to exercise forbearance in this respect. You will give me credit for this remark, when I men- tion, that, besides my extensive and intimate acquaintance with literary men, I have repeatedly occupied situations of a public nature, and now hold two *, in this metropolis. I have the honour to be. Gentlemen, Your very obedient humble servant, RICHARD POOLE.
