N. B. It is earnestly requested that,
those favoring our Institution with their
patronage, would enter their youth on
or before the time of opening the School;
as much depends on members of classes
beginning together.
Mr. Weller proposes conducting, ac
cording to the Hamiilonian system, a
class commencing the Latin and in
the course of the year, by the same plan,
another in the French.
By the above system, youth acquire
an acquaintance with the elementary au
thors of the languages, without any ma
terial interruption of their English
studies. 19.3
