DOMESTIC . RELIGIOUS . Manchester College , York * The Committee of Manchester Col-Inge , York , beg leave to call the attention of the public to the course of Academical Education for Lay-Students , pursued in that Institution . The subjoined statement will shew what
provision has hitherto been made for the acquirement of literary and scientific knowledge and the Committee have great pleasure in announcing the important addition of the appointment of a Tutor in the Modern Languages . They have long felt that it would be desirable to allot a more prominent
place to this study in a system of education designed to prepare young men for commercial as well as professional life ; aud that its effective cultivation would be best secured by incorporating it with the other parts of the academical course , and by appointing a teacher who , from Iris immediate connexion with the
College , would feel himself at once interested in its credit and welfare , and responsible for the improvement of his pupils . For this purpose they have fortunately succeeded in engaging the services of the Chevajlier Pkcchio , a gentleman of whose qualifications for his office they have every reason to entertain the highest opinion . The arrangements which have been made with him secure
the benefit of his instructions to the Lay-Students on moderate terms ; and his literary attainments qualify him not only to teach French and Italian with purity and elegance , but to assist in forming the taste of these who have already made . some proficiency in these languages , by unfolding to them the beauties of the classical authoi s in the literature of either
country . The Cuevalijsr Pkcchio will ^ iUt upon his office at the commencement or the approaching session . The Committee have further to observe , that the Ceri \ ian language has been taught for several , years iu the Col-^ by the Kev . John Keurick , 1 VL « A ., Hid that instruction in Spanish may be obtained in York .
Hie following is the course of study *<> r Lay-Students : In the first year , the Students are in-^ tructcd in the Greek and Latin Classics , M ) Ancimt History , and in Latin and ( ' 'iiftli . sh Composition ( ; in the Klemeuts ) f Hwie icomctiy , Algebra , ami Trigo"nnirti-y .

In the second year , they proceed in the Greek and Latin Classics , and in the practice of Compositioa in English and Latin — and read a course of Modern History , in pursuing which their attention is particularly directed to the History and Principles of the English
Constitution , They are instructed in the Geometry of Solids , of the Conic Sections , and of the Sphere , and in the higher parts of Algebra . Lectures are also given on the Philosophy of the Mind , on Ethics , and the Elements of Political Science .
In the third year , they are further instructed in the Greek and Latin Classics , and in the Belles Lettres , in some of the higher branches of Mathematics and the Newtonian System of Physical
Astronomy . Lectures are also delivered on Logic s and on the Evidences of Natural and Revealed Religion . An extensive course of Natural and Experimental Philosophy and Chemistry forms a part of the business both of the second and third
Sessions . It will be seen that the above course comprehends a period of three years ; and it appears to the Committee that it can deither be compressed nor abridged without injury . Nevertheless , if
circumstances prevent a longer residence at the College than two Sessions , a part of the business of the third year , especially the important subject of the Evidences of Natural and Revealed Religion , may be introduced into the second . If Greek
has not been previously studied , its place will be advantageously supplied by the Modern Languages . As the courses of Lectures , and especially those on Theology , Science ,
History , and Literature , go on in uninterrupted series through the Session , which begins in the third week of September , and ends in the last week of June , it'is very desirable that Students should cntel at the beginning of the Session only .
