I'AVlNG.travelled through the greater part of the
three kingdoms, f.r the purpose of diffusing the benefits of
Edecatinn to the Poor, Joseph Lancaster, the lnvrntorof the It opt
British System of Education, has resolved in comrhance with the
repeated solicitations of his friends, to open his house for the re-
ception (,4! a number of boarders for instruction, in the elements
of classical and comcuercial education, under his Immediate 41.1..
perintend.uice.
Great is the encouragement he derives from the experience he
has obtained by the education of several thousand children, many
of whom are new filling situatious of trust and rtspectabiiit.y.
During a series of years, he has made education in every shape

With future hopes of good to the youth under his care, and to the
anion in geheral.
Situated foe many years in a peculiar field of exertion, he has
felt actuated by a disposition to improve ratio/ advantage in a sys-
tematic manner. Having carefully studied the art of forming
and governing the mind by its own medium, he enters into this
branch of Its profession with peculiar interest, and with a deter-
mination that his undertaking shall be distinguished by system in
the arrangements of every part, and by assiduity in effecting its
important duties. He cannot wish to have any child in his house,
whom lie shall not be able to treat as his own ; and ilitrefore
has adapted his terms so as best to realize this intention.
While he undertakes the superintendence of the whole concern,
a part of the duties will be delegated to those who are well qua-
iled for the charge*. The plan on which the Institution is found-
ed, is formed under the private sanction of some gentlemen of
high classical and conirnercia; attainments. Every effort will be
made to convey knowledge in a practical manner, to develope
and cultivate talon, and to direct the bias of the youthful mind
towards obtaining those results, which are most congenial to
Christianity and the true happiness of man.
In this tenancy, the preliminary to all business, is the COVEN
plete comfort and happiness or the pulills.

System will produce.

who make the greatest proficiency, as emulation, in its purest
