• Frugal Education for Young Gentlemen . One of the oldest , one of the cheapest , and one of the most respectable schools near London is decidedly one of the best ;' and who can resist the united claims of excellence , antiquity , cheapness , and respectability . But just as we were on the point of y ielding , our eye was caught by ' Education and Sea Bathing . At classical and mathematical &c . &c , young gentlemen are received by a graduate of high standing , and soundly prepared for the public schools , the universities , the military and naval colleges , &c / This is irresistible : education and sea-bathing , graduate of high standing who receives , soundly prepared , i . e . well flogged . This is very proper ; we are for no new-fangled schemes , and are convinced that no boy ever turned out well who was not soundly prepared , that is , well flogged . And we like the modesty of the graduate of high standing , who merely professes to prepare the pupils , whom other schools , &c . are to educate .
Our mind was now made up . ± 5 ut on glancing a little further over the same newspaper , we saw the following announcement , which determined us not to be too hasty , ' The prospectus of the best , select boarding school near London , for the sons of gentlemen only , is this day published , price 6 d ., ( with numerous testimonials , ) by .

The plan pursued has been found to combine the select nature of a
perfectly private education , with the superior and well-grounded attainments of a public one , and produces the happiest results to those whose education has been neglected , or who require a more than usually careful preparation for the public schools , the universities , or the upper walks of life . References to parties of the highest rank and character . Terms 100 to 125 guineas per annum : there are no
extras . Think of that Mr . Figgins ; by paying 100 to 125 guineas per annum , and no extras , your son -may be companion and fellowpupil to two young noblemen , and you may have references to parties of the highest rank . You may perhaps speak to a lord , Mr . Figgins ; and think also of moral and literary advantages of a very peculiar and decided kind on a plan found to combine the select nature of a perfectly private education , with &c . &c .
