UNION ACADEMY IN 1818.
UNION ACADEMY—HALIFAX, N. C.
The Exercises of this Institution will commence on the first Monday in January next, under the superintendence of William E. Webb, A. M. as Principal. The course of Instruction will comprise the Rudiments of the Latin, Greek and French Languages; Geography and the Use of the Globe; the Mathematics; Natural and Experimental Philosophy ; English Grammar, Rhetoric and Belles Letters.
Those who intend that their children or wards shall complete their education in N. C, will do well, it is presumed, by availing themselves of this opportunity—the Preceptor having been educated at the University and acted for some time therein as a Tutor and Professor. He has also a competent Knowledge of the plans of education at Princeton and Yale. * * * Jesse N. Faulcon,
