EDGEHILL SCHOOL,
Princeton, N. J

TENIIIS institution has been nine years in sue.
Il cessful operation, during which time it has
ceived the APPRECIATION and patronage of MIR. Clay, Mr.
Southland, MIR Biddle and many other distinguished
gentlemen, who hnve selected it place for the
education of their ss It is believed, from It's plan,
lie education, and to afford opportunity OF ord-
nary character to those DESTROYS of giving thew
thorough education.
The system of instruction pursued IN this Seminary
claims no affinity to the called easy methods which
propose to remove all labour and drudgery from the
acquisition of knowledge. The subscriber pro-
mise any truly valuable and mental acquisition, whicH
cess on the part of the pupil himself What he does
promise, is by every means in his power to stimulate
the pupil to this nvigorating process. His object is
to lay deep and broad the foundation OF good etnca-
tion-not TO make learned, boys, but 10 subject
boys to discipline by which they may become learn
ed and able While therefore the studies pursued,
and The time devoted each, vary somewhat accord
ing to the destination of the pupils for commercial or
professional life, it is his constant aim, to make the in.
structons in each department Of the most rigid and
thorougl-gong kind. Boys studying Greek and Latin
constantly exercised in making donbe TRANSACTIONS
from the English into these languages, and the reversev
and as sufficiently advanced are required To-
compose in these languages, and to writ Latin and
Greek after the manner of the celebrated En-
glish and European schools. Boys who are intended
for commercial life, and whose parents on this account
do net wish them instructed in the Ancient Languagsa,
trained 10 accuracy and promptness in the pract-
cal applications of mathematics, and receive more
ample opportunities for practical aGqunn,ance with
