THE Committee appointed by this Society to carry
into effect their benevolent intentions of raid”g a Fund for
distressed Teachers in general, respectfully announce the publi-
cation of the First Number of the PRECEPTOR and 'WEEKLY
FAMILY CHRONICLE, on the 3d March next, and request '
the Profession, as well as the Nobility, Gentry, &e who may
feel a disposition to patronise so laudable an Institu: ion, to send
their subscriptions of 11. in advance for the half year, without loss
of time, to their Deputy Treasurer, No. 53, Lincoln's Lan -fields,
free of expence; in order that they may have complete sets of so
valuable a literary miscellany—for no more Papers will be printed
off than will be sufficient to surply the Subscribers.
The Committee would feel themselves ill qualified to dis-
'charge a trust so important as the present, if they omitted this
opportunity of assuring the pudic, that this Society is established
on a more enlarged and philanthropic plan than any hitherto
formed for the purposesof benevolence—lt is toconsist of all per-
sona engaged in, the profession of education, whether principals
or assistants, whatever their religious persuasion or belief.
A Prospectus and a Book of the Laws of the Institution may
be had of the Deputy l'reasurer; Mr. Harris, St.. Paul's ; Mr.
Tabert, New Bond•street; Messrs. "%Watley and Parish, Strand ;
and Mr. Mudasc, 51; Malkin. Booksellers.
