CHAPTER II.--A CHARTER OF SETTLEMENT.
_Habet populus Romanus ad quos gubernacula rei publicae deferat_: _qui
ubicunque terrarum sunt_, _ibi omne est rei publicae praesidium_, _vel
potius ipsa res publica_.
CICERO.
HAMLET. _Is not parchment made of sheep-skins_?
HORATIO. _Ay_, _my lord, and of calf-skins too_.
HAMLET. _They are sheep and calves which seek out assurance in that_.
SHAKESPEARE.
The Trustees of the School met at Uppingham on March 11th. This was the
earliest opportunity of consulting them collectively on the resolution to
break up the school and to migrate, which had been taken on the 7th. They
sanctioned the breaking up of the school. On the question of its removal
elsewhere they recorded no opinion.
Meanwhile a reconnaissance was being made by one of our body, who was
despatched to visit, as in a private capacity, Borth, and two or three
other spots on the Welsh coasts, while inquiries were also made in other
directions.
On Monday, 13th, the Headmaster left Uppingham for a visit to the sites
which promised most favourably.
