The superficial-s nesa and srivoficy of cnai'actcr cngendered by the. modern sylte—m oseducation; have been long, and justly, a subject ol' compiain: ; but the parti cuiar— causes by whieh these serious evxls have b-Cn produced, were hi.hex'tu bssut isimpertfcctiy known, or little attended tu: To trace these evils cJ their source, and to point out the proper re-. medicine, is the legitimate object to which the meritorious efforts of this author have been directed; and in these assertions she has, is believed, succeeded beyond the most sanguine expectations. Such indeed, is the importance of the inquiries which form the subject of this work, and so great the success with which these inquiries have been pursued, that the happiest consequences to society may reasonably be expected to result from the presence publication. To all it is interesting in a very high degree, but to mothers, families, and others engaged in the formation of the minds of children and children, it will prove an acquisition truly invaluable. The rapid sale of two imprudence in this work in England, sufficiently evidences the high esteem in which it is there held. An American edition—equal to, and at little more than half the price of the British edition—is now exceeded by the patronage of the American public; by whom it will, doubtless, be justly appreciated. Extract from the above: "From most of the writers on education, it would appear, that it is only..." To people of rank and fortune that education is a matter of importance. By such alone can the system be gauged, be adopted. In such, therefore, must we believe them to be excusable. To make fine ladies, and finished gentlemen forms no part of my plan, which his for its object the subjection of the passions, the direction of the affections, and the cultivation of the faculties that are common to the whole human race. The price of the British edition, is fifteen shillings, Sterling, in boards. CONDITIONS. :I.

THE PROPRIETORS. On the Sea Coast as Virginia, THE subscriber wishing to see an establishment of this kind into our state; and being convinced that the same success of industry and wealth would arise from the consideration of any person or persons the following circumstances: It has been the opinion of Southern gentlemen with whom the subscriber has concluded on this subject, that there could be no doubt of the success of such an undertaking, if properly conducted, and that, at any rate, it would be the policy of the subscriber to continue the business of the paper. Rate it was worth the Christmas, To an enterprising chattelcr, a light that opened, by which, should it suffice at tend, a vast source of wealth that our southern part of this continent have experienced the benefits arising from the culture of cotton in the most extensive degree. When we consider how such a portion of our state from climate and population is capable of being converted into a staple. provements of this kind, and that should this small part which can alone possess: The island lies in the Atlantic Ocean, immediately opposite Cape Charles, is about 37 degrees north of latitude, and contains about 4003 acres, a construction every much to the advantage of the island. The island of Mocon lies immediately adjacent, and contains about 2,500 acres, the most part cleared. The soil on Smith's Island is finely productive, the climate so mild as to vegetate at all times, and supports a great stock without any other food than the natural grass. With respect to Smith's Island, some restrictions would be made concerning the stock, game, etc., the other would be let uncon-satisfied. The advantages arising from fisheries at these places might be made very considerable. Bath works were formerly carried on likewise, but whether an object at this time, must be determined by those best acquainted. Proposals may be addressed to me in Alexandria, to the case of Washington Cricket, Esq. and shall be attended to. Having a considerable quantity of the Georgesia Sea Islands, or Black Seed Cotton in my possession, any person who might incline to make the experiment may be accommodated with the same—it was imported direct from the souzh-sivard. I cannot close my observations respecting this property, without remarking that it has long been subject to the developments of civilized persons. It has always been the desire, intention, and orders of the subscriber, that the shipwreck. ed saiior receive on Smith's [stand, every protection, Comfort and ::ffistarce it.is cz}. pable of assording; but the same dxspoh. tion which will alleviate the distresses of the unsortunzue, wiil s-unish the vices of the wicked.
