& n 4 Additional Notes. 



1768, was well chosen, and tolerably complete. It cost, at 

 that time, between 2000 and 3000 dollars. Having been in 

 constant use for more than 30 years, it stands in need of re- 

 pairs, and is less complete than at first. 



The Funds of this College were much diminished by the 

 Revolution. They now amount to about 4500 dollars per 

 annum — derived from the rents of certain lands ; a certain 

 proportion of Surveyor's fees; and the interest of monies 

 loaned. 



There is probably no College in the United States in which 

 political science is studied with so much ardour, and in which 

 it is considered so pre-eminently a favourite object, as in this. 



2. Hampden Sidney College, in Prince Edward County. 

 This seminary was founded about the year 1774, chiefly by 

 the exertions of the Rev. Samuel S. Smith, now President 

 of the College of New-Jersey. 



This College has scarcely any Funds. The Philosophical 

 Apparatus is small. Its Library consists of about 500 vo- 

 lumes. The number of Students may be estimated, in gene- 

 ral, at about 60 or 70. 



North-Carolina has one College, viz. 



The University of North-Carolina, in Chapel-Hill, Orange 

 County. This institution was incorporated in 1789 ; and the 

 Legislature of the State, by subsequent acts, made large grants 

 for its support. The College buildings were erected in 1794; 

 and tuition, it is believed, was commenced in 1795. 



The Funds of the University of North-Carolina are large. 

 They consist of £ 14,777 in cash, public stock and bonds; 

 of all the property in the State which is, or shall hereafter be 

 escheated ; of 94,000 acres of land, in different parts of the 

 State; and of other real property to a considerable amount. 



No other particulars concerning this institution are known 

 to the writer. 



South-Carolina has four Colleges, viz. 



,1. Winnesborough College, in Winnesborough, in Fair- 

 field County. This institution was founded about the year 

 1795. It is yet in an infant state; the Funds, number of Stu- 

 dents, &c. being small. 



2. A College in the city of Charleston. This was insti- 

 tuted about the same time with the preceding ; but has not 

 yet attained any great degree of respectability. The Trustees 

 have, in a few instances, conferred the degree of Bachelor of
