CONSISTING OF
I, A N Englifli School, in which will be
/~\ taught Reading, Writing, English
Grammar, Composition, Elocution, and Na
tural Hiltorj.
2d. A Mathematical School, in which
will be taught Writing, Arithmetic, Mer
eahtile Accounts, Geography and the use of
the Globes, Geometry and Trigonometry,
with their applitation to Mensuration, Sur
veying, Navigation, Nautical Astronomy,
kc.—All's, the Principles of Mechanics,
Algebra and Fluxirns.
5<J. A CUffir.al School, in which will he
taught the Latin and Greek Languages, in
conjunction with Chronology, Civil Hif
torv, Rhetoric, and the Inflitutes of Moral
Science.
A well grounded cor,vision of the expe
diency of the foregoing plan, has been our
principal inducement to undertake it. When
it is «onfidered that this populous and flou
rifhing Metropolis contains only one P-.'biic
Institution on an extensive plan, and that
many of our youth are obliged to resort to
other States, to receive even a Grammar-
School Education, the Seminary now pro
posed, will, we trufl, be regarded as eminent
ly uH-Tul.
Adluated by these considerations, nuny
gentlemen, friends to Science, and to Liter
ary Establishments, have urged, with great
warmth, the present undertaking, and ex
cited the raoft flattering expectations of its
success.
Thus encouraged by the countenance and
primifrd -<iJ -_f li'-.r+.l fucri, no'lrfs than by
a firm persuasion that well-regulated Aca
demies have a m»ft important influence
« manners, hahits, and principles ;
•1 y be our earnest endeavor so to con
i ■ is Seminary of Learning, as to fub
*..e the great Interests of Religion and
vlorality, to promote Decorum ef Behaviour
- '.orredlnefs of Taste, Liberality of Senti,
flit, and every other attribute of an inge-
uotis ttiind, which, in conniption with
s jed principles, and found con
ttkute the diftinguiflied ornaments of the
gentleman, andthe scholar.
The building, engaged for this Academy,
hough affording excellent accommodation,
will be relinquished for a m#>re central situ
ation, if such a change should be found ne

A matter of diflinguifhed abilities will be
procured to condudl the Mathematical De

The above is communicated by Mr. Wiley, believ

the knowledge of a medicine which merits universal

Folwell, printer, of Philadelphia, has had it in
contemplation to print that public record; and
that he hath obtained partial countenance from ma
ny individuals; but that he has delayed profera
ting the work, in expectation of encouragement
fro® government, that may adequately indemnify
him. We, therefore, refpe&fnlly solicit, as the
publication is necelfary to be difTeminated among
public bodies, that Cengrefs will, in theirwifdom
render him such additional encouragement, to that
which he has obtained from private individuals,
as to enable kim to proceed wtth the work.so that
your Memorialijls may be enabled to purcbaieco
'pies of that record for themselves.
