LECTURES.
Three Courses of Lectures on Common and Mercantile
Law, Conveyancing, and the Law of Real Property and

In connexion with the lectures classes will be conducted

and will proceed concurrently, with the lectures. The
number of subscribers to each class will be limited, and

A sufficient number of classes will follow each lecture, and
be of such duration as shall provide for the efficient instruc-
tion and examination of the students. The teaching of the
lectures will thus be amplified, and impressed on the
memory by the classes; and the system of constant ex-
amination will test, from time to line, the progress made
by the students.
