To THE PUBLI C.
ON Monday s he r6th of January, 1780, an Acade
my vill be opened for teaching the Art of Fortifi
n i;% Painting Ekeneffes, landscapes, flowers, &c.
an ; to perfed the Academy, I hereby give notice, that
ev^ry Gentian tn known by the Public to be a friend to
the Art of Printing, aifo Muficiats, are very humbly
retired to honor the Academy with their presence, where
they fh.il be taught th# Languages, or Paining, on con
dition they will be so kind as to give their advice on
those arts which they are matters of. By the assistance of
the Gentlemen Painters we (hall teach that art to per
feaion, and by that of the Musicians we shall have the
hippineh to procure for the Academy a Concert of Mu?
sic, as regular as pcffible. The Academy will be open
to the American Officers at all times, except that fixed
for the Ladies : The generosity with which those brave
men offer thrir lives and fortunes for the liberty of their
country, deserves every mark of relpe&, but the num
ber cannot exceed thirteen, the room being so small.
Except Gentlemen of public character, no person will
be admitted without toeing presented by some Academi
cal, and voted by the third part.
Every poor young G ntleman sent to the Academy by
his Excellency the President of this State, (hall be taught
every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, from Three
o'clock in the afternoon till Five, not only for the ho
nor of their recommendation, bat also for making eve
ry on: sensible that i+ is very honorable to be industrious
and willing to receive education.
As the intention of the fubferiber is to pay refpe& to
all those persons of character who intend to honor his
Academy, he thinks himfeif obliged to shew his intention
of promoting good order and harmony, so that every
ene before he may be admitted, must agree to the fol
lowing articles :
