ACARD — L II Girardin has the pleasure]
to inform his patrons, and the parents and
gtiardims »f y mtti. in gene*-d. that the Teache-i
ofthe ENGLISH BLANCHES, announced in
his Provisory Notice, will he Mr Francis Power,
a gentleman recommended by European cliarac
ters of high rcsnectabditv, to the venerable Ur.
John Carroll, Bishop of Baltimore, and whose
conduct and display of abilities, have uniformly
been such as to jurtify the eulog es of his friends
In a letter to L H Girardin, the B. K Dr. Car
roll expresses himself, respecting Mr Power, in
the following terms ;
“ Mr Power is very respectably connected—
Ids manner* and address are highly gcntlemanlx
Besides possessing the talents requisite for teach
ing the branches mentioned in your letter, he has
respectable testimonials of his ability to give les
sons in the classics, (Greek 8c Li'tm) and in the
Mathematics. In short, I do not think that you
can find in America, a person better filled for the
employment in respect both to character and abi
lies. One of Mr Power’s qualifications is to speak
the French language, &c ”
Very satisfactory specimens of Mr Power’s
penmanship may be seen, upon application to L
H Girardin, by such parents and guardians, as
attach to that branch a peculiar value
In consequence of the above, L H. Girardin’s
establishment will from the first of September
next, stand on the following basis :
The Greek, Latin. French, and Italian Ian
guages, Geography., Civil and Natural History,
and, eventually, the Literary and M >ral course —
By L II Girardin. occasionally aided by E' Pov: ■
er, in teacning Geography, and the ancient clas
sics.
Natural Philosophy (Textbook, Cavallo ) ami
the Mathematics, comprehending Demonstrated
Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, (withits vari
ous applications to Astronomy, Surveying, and
navigation,) Conic sections, Fbikions, Military
fortification and Gunnery—By John Wood
Spelling, Heading. Writing, English Grarh
mar, Recitation, C mposition. Practical Arith
metic, Hook Keeping, &c —B)' Francis Povscr —
Practice of the French Language, via : Head
ing. Spelling, & Speaking French—By Charles
Fremon.
It is earnestly hoped, that Mr. E Randolph will
oarry into execution his intended plan of Leetu
ring, either at the Capitol, or in some other con
venient place, upon Rhetoric, Law, and, perhaps,
Political Economy.
L H Girardin, has now removed his family to
Richmond, with an intention to devote himself
more particularly than ever to the instruction of
youth To the female pupils, Mrs. Girardiu will
extend a particular, &, indeed, maternal attention.
Young Ladies may, lor a moderate distinct
i hat ge, ac quire, at the Academy, the ornamental
arts such as Landscape, Figure (k Flower Draw
ing, and Painting, together witli Vocal and In
strumental Music The choice ot masters, tor
those branches, shall be entirely left to parents
and guardians
Ii is contemplated, speedily, to print both the
•niles and the terms ; copies of the same, will be
•ehvered to applicants Suffice it to premise
that the rules shall !>e rational and mild, yei, such»
^.energetically to promote both intellectual & mo
ral improvement. The primary, the sacred ob
jects of a School, shall, in no instance, he sacrifi
red to undue considerations. As to the terms, L
H Girardin is convinced that they will be found
saiistactory, never having observed a reluctance
on the part of parents and guardians to be just,
and even liberal, where abilities, zeal and sys
tern, are combined.
The above plan, will be carried into operation
irom the first of September next, at the house
lately occupied by Mr E Randolph, ne ir the Ca
pitol.

tpDUCATlON OF ii V. '
On the 1st October next, the institution
ol Mr. Anderson and Mrs C imp, for the im
provement of Young Ladies, will be opened in
the city of Richmond ; it will be confined cxclu
I siteiy to Female pupils.
This seminary will combine the views and ad
vantages of public and private Education ; and
will offer a situation, where not only the useful
and ornamental branctu s of Female accomplish
ment will be cultivated, but the tenderness and
watchful care of parental attention may be confi
dently relied upon
Great simplicity of arrangement, and a regular
classical advance to the higher branches of siu
dy, will characterise the literary course Geo
grapliy, History ancient and modern, Biography
and a variety of Miscellaneous subjects, that
are either essential or highly ornamental .n po
lite Education, will be appropriately introduced
as the students advance in their literary career
But a careful study of their own language, from
the primary characters*‘wliich form the entrance
to tiie Temple of Science,” to the higher prm
cipies mat regmaie me structure, ana exilian
the beauties of English composition, wdl form
the basis of their instruction, and constitute the
principal occupation of the pupils. The recent
improvements, both in the English language it
self, and in the mode of studying it, are very con
siderable. Their application to Female instruc
lion has greatly meliorated that interesting
branch ofEducation By introducingorde«, me
thud, and system into their studies, &. by laying in
a familiar acquaintance with elementary princi
pies, a sure foundation for higher attainments,
they render accessible to Female students, seve
ral impoitant objects of mental accomplishment,
which seemed till lately the exclusive privilege
| 'f the other sex.
Having availed himself of these advantages,
Mr. A. hopes that his system, in its present im
proved state, is not unworthy of the Metropolis ;
i whose polished society, on the other hand, will
offer to the Young Ladies of the country, who
may r> sort to it, the happiest opportunity of im
provement in polite and pleasing manntrs
A monthly examination before a select com
pany, and a public exhibition every three months,
will display the acquirements of the pupils, and
announce their progress And when apportuni
ties’of obtaining public approbation so frequently
occur to enliven their attention and animate their
zeal, it may be presumed that neither pieci p
t.»r nor pupils will slumber over their employ
ment. it may rather be anticipated, that the !
hope of applause trom circles so enl.ghtened,
will, like the prospect of an Olympic wreath,
awaken the sensibility of the pupils, inspire them
with emulation, and excite all the ardor and ac
tivity of youthful ambition
For the improvemeni of such young Ladies,
as desire to cultivate the polite arts of music,
dancing 8tc the best instructors that can be oh
tained, will be engaged to give them lessons un
der the roof of the seminary
In the private application of the pupils during
the recess of school hours, and in all that relates
to the domestic departm* nt of the institution,
Mrs Camp, (sister of Mr. A ) will exercise
that affectionate and faithful attention, which for
many years has secured her the confidence and
esteem of parents, as well as the grateful at
tachmcnt of the young Ladies placed under her
roof

rl',HE SUBSCRIBERS can with pleasure o*
1 sure their friends, that the business of tic
Academy, whereof L. H Girardin, D. Doyle and
John Wood, have at present the administration,
will, front the 1st of September next, be conduc
ted by th.-nt with the co-operation of Mr. Cra
solles, late a teacher in the College of Baltimore ;
a French gentleman of great acquirements j*
well in Classics and Mathematics us in his na
tive tongue.
The advantages resulting to youth from this
association will be of great cons-queiice to tic
inhabitants of Richmond and its vicinity Mwc
time and attention will be applied to Fngliffc,
Latin and Greek Classics—the fees for Tuil.an
reduced to a reasonable stiituiard, and the m-ndl
•e directed to useful and early practice, as well
as Theory, in Mathematical and Mercantile st«
1 Iny will limit to that number which may ap
pear most reasonable to Inc parents and them
selves : the teachers will be tepidly responsible
in tlx ir departments, exc pling the Frrottx
teacher, whose hours ol attendance will be linui*
ted. ‘
In discipline, the same order and harmony
s!i II he preserved in all departments, that hire
for nearly tiir-e years been kept up bv D lHnte
n his department: it shall be neither indolently
lax nor tyrannically severe.
Tin prices concluded on as most reasonable,
will be,

licll'’s Lt tie1 ■> Bookkeeping, and Mathematics,

For ihe above with Latin and Greek lanma

For small Classes in Sjielling, Reading, Wri

'i'liis establishment will have in view utility,
not ostentation ; and its object will be to give
that knowledge ol the English Language, of die
Classics, and ol the latiiemauc.s, which will
considerably facilitate the completion of a colle
ge le education
It must be apparent to all, that, whereas the
English, Latin and Greek classics, as well a.s
Spelling, Reading, Writing and Arithmetic, a id
lor llie most part, Geography and the use of the
Globes were taught solely by D Doyle, lor near
ly two years in this Academy, when the scLool
was numerous, that when an additional teacher
of equal capability is added, the number of pupil*
limited, and the fees for tuition ouch donints**
ed, there can ba littlu doubt of a respectable -«4
lasting patronage.
