MATTHEW DICKINSON OPENS FRANKLIN ACADEMY IN 1805.

The Trustees of Franklin Academy inform the Public, that the said Academy will be opened on the first day of January next, for the Reception of Students on the following Terms, viz. That each Student shall pay to the Treasurer of the Academy, ten Dollars per Annum, for Instruction in Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, English Grammar, Geography, Belles Lettres and Rhetoric; and Sixteen Dollars for Instruction in Ethics and Metaphysics, the Latin, Greek, Hebrew, French and Italian Languages, and the higher Branches of Metaphysics and Philosophy, viz. Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Conic Sections, Altimetry, Longimetry, Mensuration of Superficies and Solids, Surveying, Navigation, Natural Philosophy and Astronomy.

The Trustees having employed Mr. Matthew Dickinson, from Yale College, Newhaven, as the Principal of their Academy, flatter themselves, from the Respectability of his Character, the universal Healthiness of the County, and the low Price of Board and Tuition, that they will acquire a large Number of Students, and that the Institution will be patronized by every Friend of Virtue and Literature.

The Public may be assured that the strictest Attention will be paid to the Deportment and Morals of the Youth entrusted to the Care of the Principal.

By Order of the Board,                                            G. Hill, Clerk.
