lari; requested a general meeting of the parent# and
encourages of it, The meeting was accordingly held
in the new School-house, on Saturday the aid instant ;
when, with malty other matters then tranfaded re
fpßting the School, the following gentlemen were una
nimously chbfen directors, and entituled, the CURA

The Englifli, Latin, and Greek languages are taught

the Mathematics; the regulations are similar to those
of the principal Academies in Europe. Tuition, twen
ty findings per quarter; and Boarding thirty pounds
pr annum.
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 place in the united Gates can exceed it.
The original design of eroding this Academy was,
to eftablifb a more extensive and a&ive plan of educati
on; such a plan as Giall.net only teach languages, arts
and fc encs, but refine and exalt our taste of truth and
nature; unfold and exercise the vital Springs of action,
and animate the fludents with an inviolable love and
attachment to the Service of Almighty God ; their na
tive country, and fellow men.
