A. On the lst October nest, the Institution
OF Mr.. Anderson and Mrs Camp, for the i'm
provement OF Young Ladies, VIII he opened IA

Stv-ly I" r mar pupils.
This seminary viii combine the views and sd.
vantages OF public AUD private Education and
will offer situstion, where not only the useful
and ornamental branches of Female accomplish
ment will be cultivated, but the tenderness and
watchtd' care ot parental attention may be conf
IDENTITY relied upon.
Great simplicity Of arrangement, AID rerr,lar
Classical advance tn the higher ri.nces of stu.
dy will characters, the literary course. Geo
graphy, History. ancient and modern, Biography
and a variety of Miscellaneous subjects that
are either essential or highly ornamental in POI
lite Ed'csti"n, viii 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 r1rin-
ciples that regulate the structure, and exhibit
the beauties of English composition, will form
the basis of their instruction, and constitute the
pr,ncipsi occupation of The pupils. Tire recent
improvements, both in the English language it,
self, ana in the mode of studying it, are very con.
siderable. Their application to Female instruc-
,ion has greatly moderated that interesting
branch OF Education. BY introducing order, me-
th9c, and system into their studies, :, by laying in
pies, sure foundation FOR higher att,inments.
they render accessible to Female students, seye-
raj important objects Of mental accomplishment,
which seemed ill lately the exclusive privilege
of the other sex.

Mr. A hopes that his system, in its present i'm

whose polished society, on the other hand will
offer to the Young Ladies of the country, who

monthly examination before select COM
psny. and public exhibition every three months,
will display the requirements of the pupils, and
announce their progress. And when epportuni-
tiesf"t obtaining public appreciation frequently
occur to enliven their attention and animate their
zeal. 1T may be presumed that neither precep-
tor nor pupils will slumber over their employ
meHt 1t may rather be anticipated, that the
hope of applause from circles so enlightened,
will, like the prospect of an olympic wreath,
awaken the sensbhty of the pupils inspire them
with emulation, and excite all the ardor ard ac-
twity ofyouthul ambition
For the improvement of such young Ladies,
