SlR-The Chemical Lectures of Judge
| Cooper, have given so much satisfaction
I! III Philadelphia, and have been so well
attended by most respectable audiences
OF both sexes, that decided taste for sci
en'ihc enquiries Is likely TO take place of
| the frivolous amusements thar usually oc-
! cupy the leisure hours of young persons
| partic ularIv. Chemistry at least, is now be-
cominga fashionable study in that city, a.
| among fashionable persons of both sexes
q the taste thus given, is fairly attributable
| to the popularity of that gentleman's lee
| tures.-His second course about three
weeks before this time, June 10, 1879
Would II not be worth while for the
friends of Science, in this place, to make
| up such class as would induce him 10
| give Course of Lectures, Of Il couple of
| months, in this place? This enquiry is
set on foot by the subscriber, who is G.

Cooper and to the citizens of Richmond

| the course consists of from Is TO 20 lee
J lures, delivered in from to s weeks. As
he must bring some apparatus with him,
we cannot suppose he will be induced to
visit us, unless under an expectation of
| obtaining at least 80 pupils, on the same
| terms as he obtaius in Philadclphia.-It
being necessary for some plan TO be pur-
| sued TO ascertain his chance of success,
IT is respectfully proposed, TO such gen

this otfice.-The ability of Judge Cooper
10 teach the science of Chemistry, is as
| undoubted as the splendid importance of
