EDUCATION.
THE BYRON'S HOUSE ACADEMY,
SUTTON, NEAR MACCLESFIELD.
Conducted by Mr. J. WOODCOCK.
rpHE BYRON'S HOUSE is delightfully situated in a most
salubrious and romantic neighbourhood, commanding
every advantage requisite for the health and comfort of the
Pupils. The domestic and school accommodations attached
are extensive and complete—the Grounds dry and spacious.
From the !caw period Mr. W. has been engaged in Tui-
tion, and the able assistance rendered him by Masters of
first-rate talent and experience, he is enabled to offer with
confidence his School to Parents and Guardians as one
embracing advantages adequate to those of the highest terms
in the neighbourhood of London. That system of Education
is adopted which is best calculated to advance the temporal
interest of the Pupils and-make them useful members of the
society in which they may hereafter move.
In the Upper School Gentlemen are prepared for the
Universities, the Learned Professions, and Commercial
pursuits.
In the Lower, or Preparatory School, the Pupils meet
with that peculiar care and attention so highly essential at an
early age : and throughout the Establishment, while every
endeavour is used to promote the health and comfort of the
Pupils, the strictest attention is paid to their morals and
man ners.
Mr: W. begs to assure those Friends who may kindly pa-
tronise his efforts, that every possible exertion shall be used

to merit their continued support.
References are kindly allowed by the Rev. Mr. Figgins,
M.A., Everton; Mr. W. Gorsuch, St. Paul's-square, Liver-
