'mPTeiled with the truth and importance of th.fe
ecriiderations, MIR and Mrs. Ander(on have dero.
ed large portion Of their time and attention 70 the
eiabiiihnlent OF ichoo fer the general Improvement
OF young ladies. Having daughters Of thcir own TO
EDUCATE and viewing that objec the mott ferrous
bulneis OF their lives, they perfoaily intereNed
IN the arrangements they are making; and they
Judge from their own feelings that they render an
acceptable iervice to fnciety, in forming leminary
where polite literature and the arts of perfonsl i'm,
pTovement may be equally cultivated. They frank
y own that they have fought efs 20 produce an eoo
nomeai eitabiIment than render their in!itution
conionant 20 the w-iihes of thofe who deGre coa5

daughters They have accordingly engaged the afIR
ance OF the mof eminent infrutlors in the fev,ral
orsnthes OF female education, and made liberal pro
vi!ion tor every obje& which might conduce To the
iuctefs Of their undertaking Their ehablifAn,ent
Will probably be mot acceptable to thofe who have
no 0hpoiton to make economy principal euuIlder-
alton but it IS JUN to Acknowledge that on this inb
Ject they have hitherto experienced from parents the
utroft liberality of fentiment.
A regard for the irtereR and improvement of his
native city, and jut attachment to its an,iable and
excellent fociety, together with a conviction of is
beng, Tor education in general the mon favourable
fItuation OF this and the neghbouring foutisrn and
wetern fiates, induce MIR. Anderfon to the follow
ing obfervations The advantages which Williams
burg at this time pofleIes with regard to youthful
Improvement, and the rational enioymeuts of Coci-
al ntereoure, unattended with the difTipation Incl
dent to large tow ms, give it juf claim to parental
attention. Many individuals, particularly fuch who
nave numerous family to educate, might find i,
intereing to make it their permanent or temporary
reilcence. Several convenient dwellings may at pre-
ien be obtained moderate terms and as far as re-
ates to Mr.. and Mrs AS innuton all charges for IN,
iton hal be made at half price for thoe Young ladies
whole parents induced their account to refide
in town. To thoie who cannot thus become the I'M
mediate guardians of their Children MIR. aud Mrs
A. offer flor certain number Of young lades) fitu-
alton under their roof, where it has been end.a
vored to ailembie every advantage which can render
Improvement eniy, agreeable and certain.

permIon Of abenee for a fummer vft to their friends
are reque'ted to be Punttua in their return by the
