baths, billlard-rooms. coffee-houfes, &c. 
The general plan of the Lyceum con- 
tains four leading objeéts : 
1°, The encouragement of ufeful arts: 
2°, The encouragement of agreeable 
and polite arts. 
3°. Public inftruétion. 
4°. The publication and diffufion of 
recent difcoveries. 
The directory eftablifhment includes 
all the profeffors engaged in the feveral 
branches of inftruétion; the affemblage 
of commiffarics, feleéted from all the 
learned focieties ; and a certain number 
of enlightened citizens, in public repute 
for their inventions and other works. 
The primary bulinefs of the dire€tory is 
to invefiigate every ufeful object laid 
acfore them. and to make thcir reports 
anc oblervations concerning the fame to 
the focietys The centents of thefe re-- 
ports are recited in the public fittings, 
every feventh day (/epiidi) at five o'clock 
in the evening. At the clofe of thefe 
fittings, bounties are diftributed to the 
inventors, &c. The great mafs of ma- 
terials for the Yournal of Arts, is alfa fur- 
nithed by the members of the directory : 
the Journal containing an accurate ac- 
count of ail the interefting tranfactions 
ef the fitting.

The -inventors of difcoveries, &c. are 
levays alloxwed io be prelent when their 
rights are the fubjeét of difcufiion. The 
decrees of the Lyceum are invariably 
adminiftered, according to this equitable 
mode of judging and deciding. The 
premiums are fometimes a brafs medal, 
with an honorary infcription, or a laurel 
crown; but coniift, for the meft part, 
of the henourable mention, &c. The 
meaneft artificers are fometimes fec 
crowned, by the fide of the moft celee 
brated {cholars. 
In the literary cabinet is depofited an 
exteniive collection of elementary treae. 
tiles in the different arts and fciences. 
In the f{chools are 4e0 feats; where 
perfons may attend gratis. Every courfe 
of initruction comprifes 36 leétures. 
The foregoing is the outline of this 
grand national eftablifhment; an infiitu- 
tion fo much the more praife-worthy, as 
it has been planned and executed at a 
time when the arts and feiences were 
fuppofed to be in France in a ftate the 
moft critical. 
THe Repusiican Lyceum, . 
Foreigners not well informed of the 
literary eftablifhments in France, are apt 
frequently to confound the Lyceua of Arts 
with the Repubsican Lycerm. Thefe, how- 
ever, it fhould be obferved, are very dif- 
ferent inftitutions.
