The Colleges marked (*) are under the direction of the Baptists; thus (†) Episcopali

ans;

thus () Methodists; thus (§) Catholics. With respect to the Colleges which are unmarked, the prevailing religious influence of those that are in the New England States is Congregationalism; of most of the others, Presbyterianism.

By students in the above table, except a few of the Colleges in the Southern and Western States, is meant undergraduates, or members of the four collegiate classes ; not including such as are pursuing professional education, or such as are members of a preparatory department.

Some of the Colleges above enumerated, are not in full operation; and scarcely deserve a place in the Table. According to the Census of 1840, there are in the U. States 173 universities or colleges, containing 16,233 students. There are 3,242 academies and grammar schools, containing 164,159 students. It is evident, that the difference between a college and an academy is not very clearly defined, except that the former has the exclusive right of granting degrees.

The column of Libraries includes the number of volumes in the College Libraries and in the Students' Libraries.

The information exhibited in the preceding table has been derived from the official statements contained in the Annual Catalogues of the several Colleges, mostly for the College years of 1842-3 and 1843-4. The sums are to be regarded as the average necessary expenses for the several objects. The college charges, included in the first three columns, are subject to comparatively little variation; but the other expenses are much more liable to change. With respect to several of the colleges, the expenses for washing, wood, and lights, are not mentioned. Other necessary expenses, not specified in the table, are such as relate to text-books, furniture of rooms, clothing, journeying, and pocket money, all of which vary according to circumstances, and the habits of individuals..

Schools for the study of law are much less frequented than schools for the study of the other professions. The first institution of this nature, of much note, that was established in the United States, was the Law School at Litchfield, in Connecticut, which had, from 1798 to 1827, 730 students; but it is now discontinued.
