Lees college certain number ol you
men, to he educated 10 the profession
editors and conductors of newspapers, max
some very apt remarks concerning the pi
iecl, and the success Which is likely to

man into a lawyer by few courses Of law lectures
There will lie, in every instance, practical ms well Il
Menlecd education to be acquired, as the young II
who study under Cen LEES care viii perceive as 81
