The Seminary is located a mile and a half from theCapitol of Richmond, in a situation n ·puted to be one of the healthiest in the 1 ;cinity, commanding an extensive and delightfully diversified view of the surroundibg country.-The Richmond and Fredericksburg Rail-Road passes directly by the Seminary.
This is the fourth year since the Seminary was first!' opened, commencing at first with fourteen students-the second year there were twenty-five: the third year thirtynine.--Its proximity to Richmond gives it all the advantages of a , location immediately in the city, with noneof its evil5;
· Having, therefore, such an Institution directly in ourr midst, it is the earnest wish of the Board that every candidate for the Ministry would avail himself of the ad van -· tages which it presents-that becoming "a scribe welIJ instructed!' he may . be able "to teach others also " ·.
