Mn. ALDEN S. BAYLEY was member Of
College with myself, and sustained distinguish
ed rank in his class, both as a scholar and gen.
tleman. His character as an Instructor in dis
tinguished Academies in New York anG Georgia,
has been well known to me; and his high lite
rary attachments, combined with strict atten-
ton, untiring perseverance, and peculiarly
happy mode OF communicating knowledge, have
placed his schools among the frat in our coun-
try. As an Instructor, Mr.. Bsyley is believed
to have few, il any superiors. With Mr. Bay
ley's scientific and literary attainments, Ihave
been intimate for many years: they are believ.
ed to be Of the highest order, and have secured
to him a deservedly high rank among the litera-
ny men of our State and country His &C.
quaintance with Ancient and some Modern
Languages, Mathematics, Mental and Moral
Philosophy, together with Rhetoric and Bellies
