Pupils, preparing them by
SPECIAL INSTRUCTION

FESSION, THE LAW, TIIE SEA, AND FOR
MERCANTILE PURSUITS.

CONDUCTED BY MR. JOHN BRINDLEY,

Formerly Head Master of the Oldswinford Hospital Endowed
School for the Maintenance and Education of
One Hundred Boys.

TN the CHESTER SCHOOL it is proposed to furnish a
COMPLETE EDUCATION to ONE HUNDRED
BOYS, between Seven and Sixteen years of age; giving
them a sound course of Classical and Aiathematical Reading,
in addition to thorough instruction in the French and German
Languages, Navigation, Oratory, Practical Accounts, and the
usual routine of English Instruction ; and to combine with
these advantages, unceasing attention to tbeir moral and

forts.

Tuition, being successively Master of the March Endowed
School of One Hundred and Eighty Boys, Second Master of

of the Oldswinford Hospital Endowed School, where he had
the entire superintendence of One Hundred Boys, who were
boarded, lodged, clothed, educated, and entirely provided
for, from seven to twenty-one years of age. From that situ-
ation he retired in 1839, that he might devote his whole
energies to the suppression of the then rapidly advancing
evils of Socialist infidelity, which. under the divine blessing,
is now as a system broken up and exploded.

will attend, at least once a week, to give Instruction in Hul-
lah's System of Singing. A Medical Officer will also be ap.
pointed to furnish a weekly report of the health of the
