The PRESIDENT and governors of this college are 

 authorized to inform the public, that, whenever it may be 

 deemed expedient to extend the plan, fo as to render it a 

 proper introduction to professional studies, in the 

 UNIVERSITIES, Gentlemen of diilinguifhed merit, in 

 different departments of fcience, have promifed to unite their 

 labours, with thofe of the prelectors, who now engage 

 in the undertaking. And they flatter themfelves, that, 

 as this inftitutlon difclainis all relation to parties, either in 

 religion or politics, and originates in the moft generous and 

 laudable views, it cannot fail to meet with candour, appro- 

 bation, and encouragement. Many honourable teftimonie?, 

 in its favour, have already been received, from the ableft 

 judges. And the governors acknowledge, with peculiar 

 fatisfadlion, the very obliging terms in which the Lord 

 Lieutenant of the County, and the two Knights of 

 the Shire, have been pleafed to fanftion it with their 

 patronage. "I ftiall be happy," fays his Lordfliip, in a 

 letter to the president, on this occafion, "by every 

 means in my power, to promote an undertaking, carried 

 on upon fuch liberal principles, and directed to fuch a 

 Eoble and beneficial objed."

 courfes of leftures, are defired to deliver their names, as 

 foon as convenient, to the prcfident, or to fome governor or
