Augusta Academy. INTENDING to decline the Refloifllip ' of the Richmond Academy, after the expi ration of the nrefem year —the Rev. JOHN R. 1 HOMPsON, a m. will open, A Private Academy, in Augusta, upon Monday 2*l January, iSog, for the rece'.itl'r.n, of students of every defeription. Li this itiflifution, the various branches of education will be taught by instructors cf competent sbUities, who will have the improvement of their pupils much at heart —& as one of its objects will be to afford the mean* of education those young gen tlemen, who dccime entering a College, or who wciild defer this until prrparrd for the jr, or fr. daft—an annvalcemnencetnt will Ik! held upon the firft Wednelday in Au gust, when a certificate, granted to the meritorious of the senior daft, willaufwer either pnrpofc, which the student may have in view. # Thi» academy, however, w?,l no; he limited to those, who ate in pnrfnit of a liberal education —Evglijh Un dents whose proficiency is even the final left, wid he received, and inftzu&ed under the eye of theredorby pihen competent, and lefpeflable, There will be two pub lick examinations every year, ani a beard of vifiiors , competed of gentlemen of Au gusta, will attend at the academy, and infpeft the progrsft of the Undents at the • clofs of every quarter. The advantages, which private jeminar riei of learning have over those of a dif ferent defeription may be clealy seen in a neighboring as well as in more distant ft«e». Havicg bat one principal who yreferibes rhe plan of education, which when entered upon is not liable to change, cither by change of teachers. or other riicomftanccs—tha progreft of the student is rendered rapid and delightful, and the damping talk of retracing his ftepj to learn fomc uniaterefting particular from a new, and ignorant teacher—is entirely obvia tad. The meed of acadesuick honors held out to view, Si the f parks of commendable emulation among youths of similar talents, fa-- sd into a dime by teacher*, who feel themselves the fathers of their pupils— caute every impediment to dwindle into nothing. Students, whote families do not refi in in town, will be accomodated with hoard ft lodging upon moderate terms, by Mil. Handley—a lady whofc worth is known with her name j and thus placed under the eye of their inftrufton, every attention can be paid to their morals. _ The rates of tuition, board, and other circunvtmcfs will be publilhed two weeks previous to the opening of the academy, Oftober 8* (at) dU - Proposals FeR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION, THE LIFE OF Maj.
