GEORGIA EPISCOPAL INSTITUTE. * 



The Episcopal Church is chiefly indebted to the liberality 

 of G. B. Lamar, Esq., formerly of the city of Savannah, for 

 this invaluable seminary. 



This school is located in Monroe county, about seventeen 

 miles from Macon, fourteen from Forsyth, and six from the 

 Macon and Western Railroad. Its advantages are not sur- 

 passed by those of any school in the United States. Until the 

 property was purchased by Mr. Lamar, it was a favourite re- 

 resort for invalids, who were attracted by its medicinal springs, 

 healthful cHmate, and delightful temperature. Its natural beau- 

 ties, which are rarely equalled, have been improved with the 

 finest taste. The visitor needs only to see its extensive lawn, 

 majestic groves, shady walks, beautiful gardens, and spacious 

 buildings, to be in love with the spot. In addition to this, it is 

 the permanent residence of the bishop of the diocese, a gentle- 

 man long distinguished for devoted piety and extensive literary 

 attainments. His large and well selected library affords an inex- 

 haustible source of entertainment and knowledge to the pupils. 

 The course of instruction is thorough and complete ; embracing 

 every item that can contribute to fit a lady for the first stations 

 in society. Its teachers are persons of high character and 

 first rate abihties. They have been procured at great expense
