502 Additional Nota, 



The number of Students in this College is believed to be 

 about 45 or 50. They are boarded in private families in the 

 town. 



3. Franklin College, in Lancaster. This institution was 

 founded in 1787, for the particular accommodation of the 

 German inhabitants of Pennsylvania, to enable them to edu- 

 cate their youth in their own language, and in conformity 

 with their own habits. The Principal is a German Lutheran, 

 and the Vice-President a Calvinist. Its present state is not 

 known to the writer; but it is believed not to be in a very 

 flourishing condition. 



In Maryland there are four Colleges, viz. 



1. St. Johns College, at Annapolis. This College was 

 founded in the year 1784; and, together with the seminary 

 which will be next mentioned, forms the " University of 

 Maryland." 



This College is governed by twenty-four Trustees. Its Offi- 

 ce)^ are, a President (now John M'Dowell, Esq.) and two 

 Professors. Its Funds are chiefly derived from voluntary sub- 

 scription, and an annual grant of c£i750 from the State, aided 

 by the income from the Students for tuition. Its Library is 

 moderately large; and its Philosophical Apparatus only toler- 

 ably good. 



In 1801 the number of Students in this institution was 

 about 90. 



2. Washington College, in Chestertown, instituted in 1782, 

 and, like the preceding, placed under the direction or twenty- 

 four Visitors or Trustees. In 1787 a permanent fund was 

 granted to this institution, by a law of the State, of £\25Q 

 a year ; which has been since continued. No other particu- 

 lars concerning this College are known to the writer. 



3. The Catholic College, at Georgetown, on the Potow- 

 mac. This institution is under the particular direction of the 

 Roman Catholics, who form a considerable part of the popu- 

 lation of Maryland. The writer has not been so happy as to 

 succeed in his attempts to obtain particular information con- 

 cerning this seminary. 



4. Cokesbury College, at Abingdon, in Harford county. 

 This College was founded by the Methodist Church in 1785, 

 and intended for the education of youth belonging to that com- 

 munion. It is so called in honour of the Rev. Thomas 

 Coke, and the Rev. Francis Asbury, Bishops of the Me- 

 thodist Episcopal Church. No particulars are known to the 

 writer respecting the Officers, Funds, number of Students* &c.
