          have tried the Experiment which Carr has done
 with the Albany school, viz established a class 
 of Practical Chemistry in addition to the General
 class - for which they pay a trifle extra $5 - voluntary
 I have fifteen out the whole class who attend.
 I merely teach them qualitative examinations by 
 tube, & flat glass experiments - mostly the latter 
 kind. I think its introduction into the schools
 of this County will be an advantage to the pupil.
 Might not such be introduced into your college
 on the same plane?


 I am about to engage in giving a course of six
 popular lectures on chemistry to the good folks of this
 village during September., & I have some thoughts
 of repeating them where I can & go Southwards 
 during the winter. I do not see any [inserted: thing] before me to
 occupy me during the winter of a better kind
 & my only excuse is that of the Lampoon writer to
 Sam Johnson who expostulated with him on his
 unworthy occupation "You know my dear Dr. we must
 live.


 Did you think of asking Dr. Horton for any thing for
 the J. of Pharm. S. I want something original for September.


 I am Dr Doctor
 Yours truly
 Thomas Antisell
