EDUCATION. 



The attention of the Nobility and Gentry is directed to an 

 Establishment under the superintendence of a Gentleman, 

 who has distinguished himself in the Literary world, con- 

 ducted on a system, and comprising a course of education 

 suited to Youths destined to fill the higher departments of 

 life — the Church, the Law, the Army and Navy, and Mer- 

 cantile Offices. 



A public announcement precludes enlargement on this 

 system, yet the following exposition may not be altogether 

 useless : — 



The importance of Classical Learning requires no enforce- 

 ment — ^it must ever form the basis of a Uberal education. 

 But it is universally admitted, that a shorter period than is 

 usually consumed might suffice for its attainment. It may 

 therefore be necessary cursorily to observe, that the best 

 treatises, both English and Foreign, on the most effectual 

 mode of teaching the classics have been consulted, with a 

 view of forming a system by which a competent knowledge 

 of Greek and Latin may be acquired in the shortest possible 

 time. The success which has attended the labours of the 

 Principal and his Assistants in this department, and of which 

 very satisfactory evidence can be adduced, will give attes- 

 tation to the excellency of the Classical instruction afforded 

 in this Establishment.
