and particular instructions are given in Elocution, both in private exercises and public lectures by an experienced instructor employed for the purpose. During the Fall term, familiar lectures are given to those who are preparing for the important art of teaching. Instructions are also given in Sacred Music.

The object of this system of instruction is not to hurry the student through a superficial course of study, but to begin a thorough course, and to carry it as far as circumstances will allow. While therefore it is adapted to furnish suitable qualifications to those who propose to become occasional, or permanent and PROFESSIONAL TEACHERS, it is equally suited to the wants of all those young men, who, without entering upon either of the learned professions, would qualify themselves for honorable and useful employment in any department of business, whether as intelligent merchants, mechanics, seamen, or agriculturists.

This institutton has already sufficiently illustrated its practical utility and high importance. More than one thousand students have enjoyed, to a greater or less extent, its privileges. These students have come from more than twenty different states and provinces, and have returned to enter into every department of business above mentioned. From fifty to one hundred students from this Seminary have, in a single winter, been employed as teachers of district schools. Many have become permanent instructors, and are now receiving a liberal compensation, and exerting an extensive influence in almost every state in the Union.

Tuition is at the rate of fifty cents per week.

There are three vacations annually;-the first, of four weeks from the Anniversary; the second, of two weeks from the Wednes day of the week preceding the annual Thanksgiving in Massachusetts; the third, two weeks from the second Wednesday in March. The instructors are:

REV. LYMAN COLEMAN, Principal, and Teacher of Mental and Moral Philosophy.

ALONZO GRAY, A. M. Teacher of Chemistry and Natural History.

T. D. P. STONE, A. M. Teacher of Elocution.

MYRON N. MORRIS, A. B. Teacher of Mathematics, Natu

ral Philosophy, and Scientific and Practical Agriculture. MR. WILLIAM H. WELLS, Teacher in the Preparatory Department.

MR. G. F. B. LEIGHTON, Teacher of Sacred Music.

It has been the intention, in this course, to unite the analytical methods of the French, with the prac tical methods of the English School. These works embrace the entire course of Mathematics pursued at the United States Military Academy. They have also been adopted by many of the Colleges as regular Text Books, and are likewise extensively used in Select Schools and Academies. Numerous testimonials in favor of these works have been received from professional men, in all parts of the United States. They are respectfully recommended to the attention of Instructers and all others interested in education.

DAVIES' MENTAL AND PRACTICAL ARITHMETIC.

It is the object of this work to explain in a brief and clear manner, the properties of numbers, and the best rules for their various applications. The subjects are arranged throughout in a natural and scientific order, each depending on those which have gone before it. All the terms, or technical words, are defined, In each subject the most elementary idea is first presented, generally under the form of a question, then follow illustrations or examples, and lastly the general rule.

KEY to Davies' Mental and Practical Arithmetic, for the use of Teachers only. This work has each sum in the Arithmetic carefully and fully wrought out. It a so contains additional examples in each rule, which are not found in the Arithmetic-so that the Teacher will be enabled to exercise his pupils, if he wishes, by questions which are not in their books.

Davies' First Lessons in Algebra-Being an Introduction to the Science.

It has been the intention, in this work, to form a connecting link between Arithmetic and Algebra, to anite and blend, as far as possible, the reasoning in numbers, with the more abstruse method of Analysis. It is designed to follow the Mental and Practical Arithmetic, and to serve as an introduction to

Bourdon's Algebra. This work is an abridgcmeut of the work of M. Bourdon, with the ad

dition of practical Examples.

The treatise on Algebra, by Bourdon, is a work of singular excellence and merit, In France, it is one of the leading text books, and shortly after its publication had passed through several editions. It has been translated, in part by Professor De Morgan, of the London University, and it is now used in the University of Cambridge..

Davies' Legendre's Geometry and Trigonometry. Being an abridgment of the work of M. Legendre, with the addition of a Treatise on Mensuration of Planes and Solids, and a Table of Logarithms and Logarithmic Sines.

This work has passed through several editions since its publication in 1834, and is becoming a general text book in the institutions of the country.

Davies' Surveying; with a description, and Plates of the Theodolite, Compass, Plane-Table and Level; also, Maps of the Topographical Signs adopted by the Engineer Department, and an explanation of the method of Surveying the public lands.

It has been the intention in this work to begin with the very elements of the subject, and to combine those elements in the simplest manner, so as to render the higher branches of plane surveying comparatively easy. All the instruments needed for plotting have been carefully described; and the uses of those rerred for the measurement of angles are fully explained.

Davies' Analytical Geometry ;-Embracing the equations of the point and straight line, a system of Conic Sections ;-the Equations of the line and plane in Space-also, the discussion of the general Equation of the Second degree, and of surfaces of the Second order. For about sixteen years the subject of Analytical Geometry has made a part of the course of Mathematics pursued at the Military Academy, and the methods which have adopted in the present work, are those which hve been taught with the greatest success.

av ies' Descriptive Geometry-With its application to Spherical Projections. The intimate connection which this subject has with civil engineering and architecture, rendets its acquisition desirable to those who devote themselves to these pursuits.

Dav es' Differe tnd Integral Calculus-Embracing the Rectification and Quadrature of Curves, the Mensuration of Surfaces, and the Cubature of Solids.

This branch is justly considered the most difficult of the pure Mathematics; it has been the intention however to render the subject as plain as the nature of it would admit, but still, it cannot be mastered without patience and severe study.

Davies' Shades and Shadows and Linear Perspective.

The subjects treated of in this work are certainly useful to the Architect and Draftsman a knowledge of them is indispensable.

The above works are for sale by booksellers generally throughout the United States.

CONTENTS OF PART I.

CHAP. 1. THE APPROPRIATE SPHERE OF WOMAN.

2. THE INFLUENCE OF CHRISTIANITY ON WOMAN.

3 THE CHRISTIAN EDUCATION OF WOMAN.

INTRODUCTORY NOTICE.

"The first chapter is designed to indicate the sphere in which Christianily instructs Woman to move and act; the second to show what Christianity has done for her, and to exhibit the reasons why more women than men become pious; the third, to illustrate what is implied in the true Christian education of Woman.

It is well known, that as the savage and pagan state is to women one of peculiar depression, so to them the civilized and refined state is attended with some peculiar liabilities to enervation and degeneracy, and that through their degeneracy, in no small degree, comes the downfall of states and nations There is an insatiate yawning gulf, into which indolence, luxury, extravagance, and dissipation have plunged many a nation of high hopes and attainments; and these have had their origin and countenance, in a great measure, in the false education and habits of the better sex. I have endeavored to set forth the dangers to our rising country from this source, and to show how they may be avoided; to present to the minds of "our daughters" an object worthy of their loftiest and most benevolent ambition, and to show them how they may obtain it; to convince them that the right cultivation and truest excellence of the female character lie at a much higher point than has been usually supposed, and to set before then the means and motives to become (in that elevated and holy state of society called the kingdom or reign of Christ, to which we aspire, and which we confidently expect) corner stones polished after the similitude of a palace." If the design is effectual to its object in any degree, the author's bumble efforts will be well rewarded. H. W."
