been sufficiently prepared and developed by vig0r-
Gus exercise in the acquisition of q thUrCGg u
knowledge Of the more elementary branches. The

arise the language OF hooks, without comprehend
ing its import, and to run suPerticioliy over the
whole encyclopedia of science, acquiring a mere
smattering Of each branch and a thorough hloul-
eige Of Go'e, is deemed ernjc'Ous, and stall ind
place in this institution. Here, pupils will be re-
