fer to those of no other, would meet with support
and encouragement have resolved to unite Their en-
ergies and abilities in effort TO establish IN Wash
ington such an institution.
OF their qualifications for the accomplishment OF
such an enterprise and of their competency to con-
duct school Of this character in all It's departments
they would refer that parents should judge from ac-
tial experiment and personal observation, rather
than from any description Of their own. To induce
parents then to enrust TO their care, for limited
time their sons or wards, with view to the erper-
iment alluded to, they have published prospectus
embracing full view Of their mode of instruction
and discipline of the of studies to be pursued
and containing terms testimonials, &c.
To this prospectus copies of which may be procu-
red at Mr.. Farnham's bookstore, they respectfully
call the attention of parents, and beg leave only 't
state that period Of nearly twenty years has elapsed
since they completed their studies at their. re-
spcctve universities, and entered upon the duties OF
that profession in the practice OF which they have
been constantly engaged that this office was origl
nally assumed by them, not as a temporary measure
not as means Of support while waiting or preparing
for some other station, last resort after
failure in other projects pursuits, but as their hrs
and unbiased choice that 1t has since been pracis
ed not because it presented TO them fairer prospect
f. r fame or emouments than other vacations Il
which they have devoted their talents and acquire
ments, but simply because they preferred tins probes
