REMARKS.
The Trustees of Richmond College appeal to a generous public for encouragement in their efforts in behalf of liberal education.-1 They need an endowment to give enlargement and permanency to their enterprise. They invite the patronage of studious and sedate young men, for whose benefit the College has been established . As bequests to benevolent objects are not recoverable by law in Virginia, because the societies promoting these objects are not incorporated, they beg leave to suggest, that such bequests could be judiciously made to the College, because they may be :.ecured by a legal process. Hoping that this fact may have its proper effect, they append the form of a bequest. "I hereby give and bequeath to the Trustees of Richmond College, the sum of$--, (or such other property as may be desired to devise, if money,) to be paid to the Treasurer of the said Trustees."
