lie attention of W ashngtonians the card OF our
esteemed fellow citizen, DIR. Tobias Watkins than
whom there is no other among better qualified to
illustrate subject such as that on which he propo-
So To lecture. He possesses great learning and ex

Usually fall 10 the lot of scholars. His theme is of
great Importance 10 all who would become really
well informed; and We take il for granted that those

opportunity for acquiring knowledge of the philoso-
ply OF language, which he offers.
