As a knowledge of Latin and Greek has
always bcrn judged necessary for some
prosesiions in civil and active life., gentle
men who choose to send their children will
have them instructed in those languages
after the most approved methods; and as
teaching boys only these who are to be
brought up to trade and business, or the
mechnnicai arts, is rather spending their
time to little purpose, they will be enablcd
to acquirc a grammatica] knowledge of
their own tongue, and taught to read,
