The situation of (aid Academy is peculiarly eligible,
being in a pleasant healthy part of the country, on
the publick stage-road, near midway between New-
York and Philadelphia, where the stages pass twice
every week from the above places, so that those who
choose to fend their children from either of the cities
may have frequent, and the most convenient and fafe
conveyances. Said Academy is distant twenty-seven
miles from New-Brunswick —fifteen from Princeton—
twelve from Trenton—eight from Bordentown—and
eighteen from Burlington.
Good board and lodgings may be had at conveni
ent houses near the Academy, and at very reasonable
rates.
The Rev. Mr. Clark, who resides in Allentown,
has agreed to infped the business of the Academy;
and, besides other occasional visits, will, with the
Trustees, attend regularly at the examinations, once
every quarter, to judge of and encourage the impiove
ment of the students.
