WATERINGBURY SCHOOL

will open on MONDAY the 23rd instant.

Young gentlemen are boarded and taught, in Writing and Arithmetic, Vulgar and Decimal fractions, Geometry, Mensuration, Trigometry and Land Surveying by the most expeditious and approved methods

TWENTY GUINEAS A YEAR.

The situation is remarkably healthy and being rather a sequestered village is certainly better adapted for academical pursuits than a more populous and public place as the temptations to dissipation and gaiety (to which young minds are naturally prone), are fewer and the student of course meets with less obstruction to his acquirement of useful knowledge.

The School accommodations and dormitories (which are now open for public inspection) are such which have been universally approved ; and the very flattering support which this School has hithereto experienced, demands and has the proprietors most unfeigned gratitude as it fully warrants the hope that the treatment and managements of the whole has in general been satisfactory to a discerning public.

Printed particulars of terms, plan of education, &c. &c . may be had on application to the Rev. Miles Cooper, Wateringbury near Maidstone.

Jan. 12th, 1797.
