to the youth more advanced, differs from 
that which is elementary. To obviate 
the inconveniences which refult from a too 
{edentary life in vyouth, care is taken 
that the gymnaftic exercifes, fuch as fen- 
cing, dancing, riding, and the art of 
vaulting, are performed alternately with 
the ftudy of the languages and of the 
feiences. All thefe leflons are given gra- 
tis, except that of riding, for which there 
is a handfome riding-{chool ; and a {uf- 
ficient number of horfes are conftantly 
kept in training. 
As to tuition in the Greek and italian 
languages, in drawing, painting and mu- 
fic, this is given by private leffons, ata 
moderate fee. 
The pupils live altogether in a hand- 
fome, fpacious, and wholefome building. 
They occupy, two by two, a chamber 
with furniture, next to which every one 
has his particular. dormitory, provided 
with a bed, achair, a cheft of drawers, 
and a table. They are all placed un- 
der the infpection of a number of gover- 
nors, who live under the fame roof with 
them, and who endeavour to preferve, in 
the character of academilts, a conduct as 
remote from that indulgence, which bor- 
ders onimbecility, as from a too rigorous 
feverity. It is in company of their go- 
vernors, that the young perfons take their 
repafts, in a f{pacious and well-aired re- 
fectory. The table is adminiftered at a 
common charge, fo that there 1s no reafon 
to apprehend, that the cupidity of a fingle 
contragtor, may give rife to complaints 
that may be juft enough, perhaps, ia 
many other inftitutions. 
The annual penfion or payment is 200 
crowus of Hanover-money, reckoning the 
Frederick d°Or at 4 2-3 crowns, or other- 
wife at 75 ducats of Holland. Moreover 
every pupil pays 30 rix-dollars, as an en- 
trance-fee, the firft year, and as much 
for the fecond; but for the following years, 
no entrance-money is required. The 
young man admitted into the academy 
for this fara, has the benefit of inftruc-: 
tion in the languages, the fciences, and 
the exercifes above-mentioned, of the ta- 
ble at noon and nigit, of a breakfatt, 
confifting of white bread, of lodging, with 
a bed and other neceflary furniture, fuel, 
wafhing and candles. As for other matters, 
they are waited upon by valets, of whom 
a fufficient number is kept by the houle. 
Although the annual expence cannot be 
precifely equal for all the academits, 
confidering the peculiar wants of each, 
it may, be neverthelefs afirmed, that,
