WARRENTON ACADEMY UNDER THOMAS J. VAIDEN.
ADEQUATE COLLEGIATE Preparations can be had at this Institution. In the Classics, the Institutes of the present Qreek Professor of the London University will be adopted: no less official authority in several of the other Departments will be established. In Latin, the higher or Senior Classes may read Horace, Juvenal, Terence, Works of Cicero and Tacitus; especially the Letters of the first, and Annals of the Second.
In Greek, Excerpts maybe read as Majors; but not in preference to entire books in the Original X's Anabasis, Homer, Euripides, Herodotus, &c. The Illustrative Studies will be accorded to each language. In Mathematics, Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, &c. The advance students may attend to Chemistry, &c. In Modern Languages, French and respectable initiation in Spanish and Italian.
In English, most of the popular branches, particularly concentrative ones. Such a government as will guarantee reputable deportment and intellectual advancement will form a primary consideration. Professional character is best appreciated by direct reference to the purest test, official investigations and public Examinations.

The Warrenton Academy is open for the reception of youth, unexceptional in character. The Collegiate preparations, the Principal hopes, will be adequate, as in the Classics, any of the Latin and Greek books, read by senior students of the Universities of this State and Virginia, may be read here and with the requisite illustrative studies. In the departments of Mathematics, Modern Languages, English Chemistry, &c. an elevated and advantageous result may be secured to the diligent and aspiring scholar.
Terms of tuition are from $10 to $15 per session of five months; those of board are even as low as $60 for the same time.

N. B. Confidential assistance may be secured when the number requires it.                                            Thomas J. Vaiden, Principal.
