“To WILLIAM G. ALLEN, Esq. late Professor of Greek in
New York Central College.

“DEAR SIR—­We, the undersigned, having heard your lectures on ‘America’ and ‘Africa,’ and derived therefrom much instruction as well as gratification, do, on our own part and that of many of our fellow citizens who are anxious to hear you, respectfully request that you will give, at least, two lectures more upon these interesting subjects.

  From “Belfast News-letter,” Dec. 10, 1858.

“REV.  DOCTOR COOKE occupied the chair.  Professor Allen then delivered a lecture of great ability and interest.  Dr. Cooke said he had listened to a remarkable oration.  He was glad he had heard it.  He thanked Professor Allen, in the name of the meeting, for his truly valuable and instructive lecture.”

  From the DEAN OF WATERFORD.

“Professor W. G. Allen, an American gentleman of color, having visited Waterford, delivered two lectures here, one on ‘America,’ and the other on ‘Africa and the African Races.’  On each occasion I had the pleasure to occupy the chair at the meetings held to hear Mr. Allen’s lectures, which proved most interesting and instructive.  The Professor is himself a witness that there is nothing in color or race to hinder a man from being distinguished for eloquence, good taste, and religious feeling.

“I have seldom heard public addresses which have interested me more, and I have no doubt that Mr. Allen’s lectures will prove useful, wherever they are delivered, in creating an interest on behalf of our fellow men, who have suffered so great wrongs from professing Christians, though happily no longer at the hands of British subjects.

From Rev. DOCTOR BROWNE, Principal of Kilkenny College.

“Kilkenny College, Feb. 3, 1858.

“I have attended Professor Allen’s lectures on ’America and the Americans,’ and on the ‘African Races,’ and have received much pleasure as well as information from the talent and power with which he has handled the subjects of which he treated.

“His knowledge, his ardent and impressive manner, and clear melodious voice, render him a most pleasing as well as instructive lecturer.
