Brinlcy Place, Roxbuty, Sept. 10, 18-27. Dear Sir: I was highly gratified in attending for several days, the public examinations, literary exercises, prize ilcchml -vis and mi it,try evo'ti.ions of the Cadets at the American Literary, Scientific, and Military Academy, under •vour superintendence, during my recent visit to Middletown. The examinations of the several sec tions in the various branches of know ledge which they had been taught, were of a character to reflect the greatest honor on tiie students and their professors. The oratorical performances at the church, were most creditable, evincing great research, and a zealous demotion to the cultivation of science and letters.— They were in all respects quite equal to those in our most celebrated colleges,both in composition and elocution, and could not fail to have impressed the very nume rous and rospectnble audience with an exalted opinion of an institution, which had produced such meritorious and inter esting results. The military evolutions on the field day, were such as I had anticipated from tiie thorough manner in which tactics are taught at the Academy. Having twice visited Middletown du ring the present year, I took pains to ascertain the course of instruction, police, morals, and general dennrtment of the cadets; and it is with pleasure, I assure you, that the results of my observations and enquiries were most satisfactory. The system of education von have adopted is inharmonious accordance with our Republican form of Government, un der which AT I, ARE GOVERNED BY \LL, and all defended all ; by, every citizen should not only be qualified to discharge his highly important civil Duties, in/the most intelligent and efficient be equallv able to protect the liberties !]>> | dawn of intellig% enjovs, from the possible usurpations of i he direct and pf unprincipled ambition, and toe inroad of foreign aggressors. Tbev • ere valiantly secured bv the sword, and bv that only are they to be maintained. To enioy the blessings of freedom and independence in the congenial quietude of peace, we must be ever ready and able to b-easl the tempest of battle. The prosperity, hap- pinesss wealth, power, and glorv, of the United States are dependent on peace, and, to secure th$s inestimable privilege the whole energies of the Republic, should he held in requisition ; being at all times so completely prepared fur war, as to ren der outrage dangerous and invasion im possible.—To accomplish this, every A- merican, likoOrerian heralds, must con stantly grasp with one hand *he lance, while the otlmr extends the caducous. As there is vo privileged order mi this country, no dVnherf'ug law ofprimoge- nitiire,but all being “ horn free and equal,” the career of honorable distinction is «.pen to every citizen, anil their education should be such as is best calculated to make them profound legislators able statesmen, and learned jurisconsults, as well as hardy soldiers and skilful generals, that, like Socrates and Washington, they may serve their country in the councils of the nation and tire contests of the battle field, with equ 1 ability. IIow important is it then, that 'be physical and intellec tual faculties should be early and simulta neously cultivated. This is happily ac complished at your Seminary in die most efficient manner, bv combining the manly exercise of the camp with the exalted pur suits of literature, science, and die arts— having a direct tendency to produce sound minds and vigorous bodies. The health order, regularity, morals, and gentleman ly deportment of the pupils, are thus more certainly induced and maintained than by anv other system ; and a spirit of inde pendence, united with dignity and pro priety of manners, more effectually incul cated. I was happy to find that Belles-Lettres and Elocution were so highly appreciated and claimed such merited attention iu the > Academy. To wrj^J well and speak well are ot the first consequence in this coun try. Our Government is founded on the intelligence of (he People and all its acts are the results, or are brought to the test of learned inquiry, deep meditation, and lucid exposition. From the ordinary as semblies of the People, to the halls of Congress, the judicial forum and the de partments of the Cabinet, how requisite how influential,- how important, are the attainments of letters and eloquence. But to be accomplished in either, what la borious study, what an extended range in the fields of erudition are required. They are the glorious fruitions of long and patient investigation ; the cause and effect of the highest state of civilization, of the purity and excellence of Republican in stitutions the Corinthian capitals of our grand political edifice. The scieqces are also cultivated in such manner as to elucidateJheory by practi cal application; to renfer them subservi ent to (lie arts and the wants of Society :n all the branches of national industry, as well as in their iiigher spheres of utility, it js necessary that (he philosophical apparatus shonld be extended, the chemi cal laboratory more completely furnished and every facility afforded by instruments models, enlarged diagrams, maps, charts, plans, which are calculated for illustrating tire mathematical and physical sciences.— 1 his, I have no doubt, will claim your earliest attention, it being within the range of your general plan of instruction, to of fer your pupils all the advantages which the age affords, for acquiring a good edu cation, in the most emphatic signification of the term. The sciences for many centuries were unfortunately cultivated, merely for acqui ring a knowledge of their theories, rather than as useful in their applications to the arts. The former were too generally lod: Ly one ciaus «»f men, ,<s inn ii.du al embellishments, while the others were imperfectly practised by the machinist, and operator, with but litde or no acquain tance with their principles. Having been ong unwisely separated, they are now re united, and rendered substantially benefi cial by a full development of their combi ned prac’ical powers. This desirable cousummatior, began to be efficiently ac complished within the last half century and how rapid and triumphant has since been the march of nations when lighted onward by their united ef filjence. Natural History now jlaims attention ill the academy, and it is [desirable that some of the branches should he more thoroughly taught, particularly mineralo gy ami botany, both being extensively useful, as intimately connected with medi cine, &,tlie arts; & they preside as divin ities ever the honorable labors of Agricul ture. Not any of the kin should be neglected, practicable to becom during an academic still a foundation can perstructure complet tails at least, as oppor may direct in after 11; The addition o* ttirofessors of the French and Spanish fateuage, to those of Latin and Greek, arf-^luable acquisitions A knowledge of tlitj t^io former will be practically and exuftjjltvely useful, while that ot i he others iembellishment of a doubtful character fr When they were learned to enable.the Student to read books toms of nature, [although it is im- Ijuainiecl with all, se of instruction laid, and the su- in some of its du ality or inclination enable.fhe or the information t/$g/ contained, as was [upon the earth, i* was er course of education, ther e being none in other languages ; but io read those books now fertile sake of learning the languages in which they arc printed, when aii that is valuable which they contain,is to be found in our own, ap pear.' like supererogation, has a deep tinge of ancient prejudice, and an ostentatious disnlay >f erudition, bordering closely on pedantr . Information is what we seek and those means should be employed which will furnish the greatest quantity, in the most facile manner, and shortest time. Latin and Greek conceal nothing that is worth of being known, which can not be attained through the medium of the modern languages, After all the time and labor bestowed in attempting to acquire the languagesas they are called^wr excel lence, in what manner do they contribute even in the smallest degree, to facilitate the progress of the collegiate student, in any oilier prescribed branch of study : and if at any future period they wish to re fresh their memories with the beauties of -V irgil, Homer, or Cicero, are not Dry- den’s, Pope’s Melmolh’s or some other translation restored to ? Of the historical scientific, and literary works of the Greeks and Romans, who reads them in the lan guages of these nations ? Is it not notori ous that they are rarely opened, save by a few professors or divines ? &even with those highly respectable gentlemen, “ a well read classical scholar,” is a phenom enon—a Parr is an Anacharsis among the Scythians. This should not excite aston ishment : for how can it be expected that any man should be content to finver buck ets into empty wells and grow old in draw ing nothing up ? The age of extravagant declamation in favor of the classics, and of learned dis- quisiiions on doubtful phrases of unused languages, lias gone by, The enlighten ed patlu of truth are pursued, to discover substance and uot shadows—things rather than words—useful, practical, and real, information. Induction lias taken the place of sophistical syllogisms & bewilder ing metaphysics: demonstration and ex periments are substituted for mythologi cal assumptions; aud facts and observa tions are required, instead of conjectural probabilities, I am aware that my opinions, on the long venerated languages of the Greeks and the Romans, will be deemed heretical by many; but they have the consolation that precedent and practice are marshalled on their side, and that ample provisions have been made at your Seminary for teaching them as at any of the Universities, i The high reputation of your classical Pro fessors, and their devotion to their pupils, is well known, and will not suffer by a comparison with those of any other insti tution. Although the public voice is a- gainst me, I cannol but cherish the belief that a knowledge of the French and Span ish is now infinitely more important than the dead languages. The former is so generally understood on the continent of Europe, as to recti**' it more completely the medium of communication inabe great republic of letters, than was formerly ‘-hej Latin; and irr no country, save (Treat Britain, are the exhamstless fields of Sci-| enrp, Literature and the Arts, to success fully cultivated as in France.

Government, our commercial and political regulations, cannot fail of being of an in timate, interesting, and momentous eba-; racier—all tending to render tbeir com mon language, ultimately next in impor tance to our own. The location of the Academy could not be better. The town is one of the most healty and pleasant in New England; the scenery pre-eminently beautiful. In the midst of a flourishing and highly cultiva ted "''strict of country, subsistence is dies' ; a. d being on the tide waters of the Connecticut river, the fine-lilies of intercourse with all oarts of 'he Ua on, by steam-bents, and the unusual means of navigation, besides those afforded b\ nu merous lines of stare coaches, render M id dletown a desirable place of resilience.— Far removed from she dissipations and allurements of a large city, there \: but little danger of the morals of the students being com opted ; particularly when such prudential regulations are constantly en forced, as most effectually to preclude deviations from the path of rectitude. 1 You have only to prosecute the system i you have adopted, with that zeal and per- j severance you have evinced, until ail its details have been completely developed, to render the hernia ary one of the most useful in our Country. Anxious Jor your entire success, and with a fuJtpeliefAhat you willrealize all. 6$fl§icijfations,' I offer assurances of my e in your abilities ami disposV- fi to do justice to the Students placed under vour guidance; and am, most re spectfully, vour obedient servant.
