EDUCATION OF fOUNG LdDIES.-
~ On the LIST October Dext, the institution
Of VII. Anderson and Mrs Camp, for the i'm
provement of Young Ladies, will be opened IN
the city of Richmond; it viii be confined eaclu-
sipeV to Female pupils.
This seminary will combine the views and adj.
vantages Of public aud private Education and
will offer a situation, where not only the useful
and ornamental branches of Female accomplish.
ment will be cultivated, but the tenderness and
watchful care parental attention may be conf
dently relied upon
Great simplicity of arrangement, and regular
classical advance to the higher branches of stu :.
dy, Will characterize the literary course. Geo.
grapby, History, ancient and modern, Biography
and a variety of Miscellaneous subjects, that
are either essential or highly ornamental m po-
lite Education. will be appropriately introduced
as the students advance in their literary career
But careful study of their own language, from
the primary characters which form the entrance
to the Temple of Science" to the higher prn-
ciples that regulate the structure, and exhibit
the beauties of English composition, will form
the basis of their instruction, and constitute the
principal occupation of the pupils. The recent
improvements, both in the English language ii
self, and IN the mode of studying it, are very con
siderable. Their application to Female instruc.
ton has greatly Moderated that interesting
branch of Education BY introducing order, me
thod and system into their studies, & by laying in
familiar acquaintance with elementary princi-
pies, SURE foundation for higher attanuents,
they render accessible to Female students, seve-
raj important OBJECTS of mental accomplishment,
which seemed TIL lately the exclusive privilege
of the other sex
Having availed himself of these advantages,

proved state, rs not I'm worthy Of the detropolis ;
whose polished society, on the other hand, will

may i, sort to it. the happiest opportunity OF i'm
provement IN polite and pleasing manners
A monthly examination before select com
psny. and public exhibition every three months,
will display the acquire mcnts of the pupils, and
announce their progress And when spporiuni
tles.of obtaining public approb itlon frequently
occur to eniiyen their attention and animate their
zeal, it may be presumed that neither p; ecep-
tor nor pupils will slumber over their employ
ment. IL may rather be anticipated that the
hope. of applause from circles SO enlightened,
will, like tine prospect of AN Olympic wreath,
awaken the sensibiity of the pupils, inspire them
with emulation, and excite all the ardor and &C
tylty ofyouthul ambition.
For the Improvements Of such young Ladies,
as desire TO cultivate the polite arts OF music,
dancing &c. the best Instructors that can be OBJ
tanned, will be engaged to give them lessons un-
der the roof oftlie seminary
Inthe private application of the pupils during
the recess of school hours, and all that relates
60 the domestic department of the institution,
Mrs Camp, (sister OF Mr.. n will exercise
that affectonate and faithful attention, which for
many years has secured her the confidence and
esteem of parents, as we'll as the grateful at
tacbment OF the young Ladies placed Under her
