Dr Drown. — This enthusiastic and scientific ! They will be continued four ninths 



professor, has just commenced a course of Botan 

 cal Lpclures in this town, which are fashionably 

 attended. The terms of admission are inconsid- 

 erable compared with the value of the lectures. 

 We Iiave never heard a more charming lecturer 

 than Dr Drown. His faculty of illustrating ev- 

 ■cry subject that conies under his view, is e.xcelleiiL 

 He is never tedious or unnecessarily prolix, but al- 

 ways clear and energetic. His lectures are worth 

 tthe attention of all who may wish, in so easy a 

 ■nanner, and at so small an expense, to obtain a. 

 •knowledge of the science of Botany. — Providence

Mr Stimpsoh's Horse Car. — The exjieriment

 out increasing exertion to the horses. 



The ingenious inventor has so constructed his 

 Jar, that the horses moving it, by walking at the 

 rate of two and a half miles per hour, propel

This extension in the term of the Lectures has been 

 thought n""cessaiy to afford time (or such a course of in- 

 struction and demonslra'ian, a.s is deemed by the Faculty 

 to be requisite, under the advantages which have recent- 

 ly accrued to the Sdiool. 



The Legislature of Massachusetts, with an enlighten- 

 ed liberality, wiiich ('oes honor to our age and country, 

 have extended the protection of law to the cultivation of 

 Anatomy wiliiin tiiis Commonwealth. The advantages 

 which will hence result to students resorting to this 

 school will be sufficiently obvious. It will be the aim ol 

 the Professors to carry into effect the intentions of the 

 Legislature, in such a manner as to evince at the same 

 time their respect for the rights of humanity, and their 

 interest in the promotion of the healing art
