HAR the pleasure to inform his Patrons,
and the Parent* and Guardian* o*
youth, in general, that the teacher of the
English Branches announced in his
Provisory Notice, will be Mr. Francis
Power, a gentleman recommended by Eu
ropean characters of high respectability
to the venerable Doctor John Carrol, Bish
op of Baltimore, and whose conduct, an*}
di-play of abilities, have uniformly iieen
such as to justify the eulogies of his
fr*2ods.
In a k?u*t‘t? £4 B. G>rairdln the R. R.
Dr. Carroll expresses himself, respecting
Mr. Power, in the following terms.
«* Mr Power i* very respectably connect
ed—his manners St address are higlrly gen*
itlemanly. Besides, possessing the talent*
I requisite for teaching the branches
mentioned in your letter, he has res
pectable testimonial* of his ability to give
less- ns hi the Classics, Greek and Latin,
and in the Mathematics. In shoit, I do not
think tha*. you can find in America a per
son better fitted for the employment, in
' respect both to character and abilities.
One of Mr. Power's qualification* is to
speak the French language, See,’’
Very satisfactory specimens of Mr Pow
er’* penmanship may be seen upon ap
> (plication to L H. Girardin, by such Par
ents and Guardians, as attach to that
branch a peculiar value
In consequence of the above, L. II. Gir
> ardin’s establishment will, from the first
of Sept, next, stand on the following ba*
; SiS :
The Greek, Latin, French and Italian
_ (Languages, Geography, Civil aud Natural
j : History, and, eventually, the literary and
i moral course will be taught by L. H. Gir„

in teaching Geography and the ancient

L. H. Girardin has now removed hisfa.

the sacred objects of a school shall m no
