solid basis ; at the last public examination of the fchol
lari, requested a general meeting of the parent# and
encouragers of it, The matting was accordingly held
in the new School-house, on Saturday the sad instant ;
when, with many other matter# then tranfa&ed re
fpe&ing the school, the following gentlemen were una
nimoefly chosen direaort, and intituled, the CURA

enquire, John Hubley, esquire, William Henry, esquire,

The borough of Lancaster is too well known to fay
any thing of the salubrity of the air ; the healthy situa
tion ; the plentiful market; the rich and beautiful
country, and a valuable public library: it is no devia
tion from truth to assert, that, for an institution of
this kind, no pl^ce in the united fates can exceed it.
Fhe original design of erifting this Academy was,
to eftablifb a more extensive and aflive plan of educati
on; such a plan a# shall not only teach languages, arts
and fc ences, but refine and exalt our taste of truth and
nature ; unfold and exercise the vital springs of a&ion
and animate the fludents with an inviolable love and
attachment to the service of Almighty God ; their na
tive country, and fellow men.
