To THE PUBLI C.
ON Monday the 17th of January, 1780, an Acade
my will be opened for teaching the Art of Fortifi
cajon, Fainting likeneffta, landscapes, flowers, &c.
and to perfect the Academy, I hereby give notice, that
every Gentlemen known by the Public to be a friend to
the Art of Fainting, also Muficiars, are very humbly
desired to honor the Academy with their presence, where
they shall be taught the Languages, or Painting, 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 ffiall teach that art to per
fedion, and by that of the Musicians we (hall have the
happiness 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 their 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 being presented by some Academi
can, and voted by the third part.
Every poor young Gentleman sent to the Academy by
his Excellency the President of this State, shall be tught
every Monday, Wednefda, and Friday, from Three
o'clock in the afternoon till Five, not only for the ho
nor of their recommendation, but also for making eve
ry one sensible that it is very honorable to be industrious
and willing to receive education.
As the intention of the fubferiber is te pay refpe& to
all those person: of character who intend to honor his
Academy, he thinks himfelf obliged to shew his intention
of promoting good order and harmony, so that every
one before he may be admitted, must agree to the fol
lowing articles :
i. That not a single word shall be spoken against any
religion.
2. That refpe& ffiall be paid to all Profeffors and
M.fters, as long as they (hall be in the right, in the
opinion of the Academy: And in case any person mould
b found guilty of any of those offences by a majority
of votes of the Academy, the penalty shall be Thirteen
Guineas delivered to the Overfeors of the Poor. So
help us GOD.
3. As all the Profeffors and Academicans will trust in
the Academy all their models, books, paints, &c. great
care (h .11 be taken not to carry away from the Academy
any thing of that kind.
