facilities for attaining perfection in it, by assisting with general
Instruction the Natives of this Country, and thus enabling those
who pursue this delightfur branch of the Fine Arts, to enter
into competition with, and rival the Natives of other Countries,
and to provide for themselves, the, means of an honourable and
comfortable livelihood. With this view it is proposed to found
an Academy, to be called the " ROYAL ACADEMY OF
M US IC," for the Maintenance and general Instruction in Music
of a certain number of Pupils, not eiceeding at present Forty
Males and Foray Females. Na Student shall be admitted at an

the Academy, and at the of the Institution, beyond the
age of Eighteen ; but the Serrommittee may allow such &u
dents as they may think fit, to continue to receive Instruction
