The course OF instruction Includes besides the ordinary
English branches, Natural Philosophy Chemistry Physi-
oogy, History, rhetoric, the branches of Aathe-
mates and the Latin, Greek and French Par
tcular attention Is paid to the higher Mathematics and

Natural Philosophy and Chemistry in which all the i'm
porant principles illustrated by eype rments are
regularly delivered before the students.
