Norwich is one of the most beautiful and
pleasant villages in New-Englnnd. It is loc:it-
el about half a mile west ot the banks of the
Connecticut, and an at elevation of about ITu
feet above its surface. It is one mile from Dart
mouth College, 18 above W'indsor, and one
hundred and eighteen from Boston. 1 he ap-
proacn is easy and pleasant by means of excel
lent stages, which run three times a week in
various directions. It is reached froni Middle
town, Boston and Albany in two days, and from
New-York in three days. For health, it is se
cond to no village in New-England. This as
sertion is believed to be fully substantiated by
the f;ict, that during the who!i time (four and
a half years,) that the American Literary,
Scientific and Military Aciidemy was locate(l
there, sickness was scarcely known among the
members.—'I'he society is moral and refined.
'I'he Semin.ary will be ])laced under tlie im-
meliate direction and superintendence of u
gentleman, who, from his age, classical, scien
tific and military accpiirements, industry, un-
exceptionai)le moral character, and exj)eiiencc
in the system of instruction proposed, is in ev
ery resj)ect qualified to iliicharge his duties in
the best possible manner. He will i>e assi.ited
by the requisite number of well qualifit il and
experienced instruct(irs. The Institution will
frequently be visited by Capt. Paitridge, and
will in every respect be under his general di
rection. 'I'he following will be the ))rincipal
regulations for the government of,the Institu
tion, viz;
Lst. The student will be stilled Cadets.
'Jnd. 'i'he morning roll call will be immed
iately after reveille. Immediately after roll
call, the rooms must all be swept, beds made.
Government.
The organization of the In^t'tution will be
strictly Military. Military discipline will con
stitute the basis of government; the adminis
tration of it will be parentaj', and adapted to tlie
ages and dispositions of the pu]>ils. A manly,
al)le, and independent .spirit will be cherished
in all the cadets, regulateel by a strict, but
salutary discipline.
TerniHof Jdmlsaiint, &r.
1st. Every cadet who shall reside more than
150 miles from the Seminary w ill be required
to deposit in the hands of Capt. Partridge, or
of the Supcrintentlant, at the time ofadmission,
150 dollars, and at the eml of six months, 100
dollars more. At the expiration of the year,
the accounts w ill be m.ideout and should there
be a balance due the cadet, it will Iw.- credited
on his second year’s account, or paiil ii; sueh
manner as his parent or guaidian shall direct,
should he leave the Academy at th.it lime. For
the second;and every succee-ding }ear, the lU -
posits must be as follows, vi^: Oi.o buiulivd
and thirty dollars at the commenceiiient, and
one hundred dollars at the e.\i)iration ((f'lhe
first six months. 'I'he accounts to Le made out
as before stated.
2nd. The bills for those cidets who voside
within 150 miles of the Se.uinary, must be set-
tli'tl quarterly.
3d. No cadet will be admitted fora less term
than one year.
From the foregoing j)Ian, it is confulenlly
believed the foUowiiig advantages, among ma
ny others, will result, viz :
1st. By the military and oilier cxercises, the
health of the cadets will be preserved, the phy
sical powers fully dc\ elojx'd, an erect and ele

attained to those ages, or have passed them,
with a parcel of had habits, arc not so easily re
formed as they may suppose. The result w ith
such generally is, that when placed under a.
strict system of discipline, where they find
themselves checked in their wayward cour.seis,
they soon become restive, violate thi' regula

easier to prevent a youth from acquirng had
