SCHOOL.
Having declined teaching SCHOOL
I take ihe liberty of recommending
to my former employers and others,
Mr. CHRISTOPHER RANKIN ;
wuo comes highly recommended lor
his lteadlutfs, l'obriety, morality and
abilities, from the Prefident and pro-
feflbrs of Jefferfon College in Penn
fylvania •, alfo by other gentlempn
of the fir(t refpe&ability ol faid Hate,
as well as of Virginia. And from
my oerfon.il knowledge of him, if
my judgment of his abilities deferves
anv regard, I molt cheertully and
gladly recommend him. He has
commenced in Miliedgcville where
he will teach ENGLISH GRAM
MAR, LATIN, GREEK, MA
THEMATICS, GEOGRAPHY &
the others Arts and Sciences, as far
as can be, without apparatus, at the
ufual prices, and where board can
be had on reafonable terms.

one of his effays, to prove’ that

more fimple, or more erroneous?

readers. They no doubt are

have given, and will gladly dif-
penfc with any farther c xtracts
from the “ Medi al Cun pan-
