    80 many competent judge*, that without pledging ourselves to the merits of his system, we can have no hesitation in declaring that a scheme of education deliberately adopted by so profound a scholar, and experienced teacher, deserves to be thoroughly and candidly investigated before it is pronounced impiact cable or useless. We feel the more disposed to give credit to Dr. PRATI’s pro¬ mises because they are expressed with that modesty which is characteristic of a man of sense and honour. Extract from The Morning Post, Thursday, March 29, 1827. THE new Hamiltonian Institution under the direction of Dr. PRATI, has already been mentioned in our columns. Dr. PRATI is a man of great learning and judgment, and is associated in his new System, with persons whose talents fully qualify them for the task they have undertaken. Tlie plan of this Institution, is very different from those, which profess to give perfect instruction in a given time, and to prescribe a period for that which does not admit of calculation. Extract from the Examiner, April 22, 1827. Under the title of “New Hamiltonian Institution.” Dr. PRATI and Mr. FAYOLLE have opened an Establishment in Lan¬ caster Street, Burton Crescent, for teaching Languages and the Mathematics. These Geiifl^qp^ are, we understand, qualified for the task they have un¬ dertaken, and deserving^^^^P^orf. Their plan of instructio^Bferounded upon the systems of Fellemberg, Pestalozzi, and Hamilton, with the important provision of natives of each country, whose language is taught, as teachers of their respective tongues. Their Prospectus, while it insists upon the superiority of the new plan over the old one, disclaims the extravagant pretensions too common with the producers of novelties, and is conceived in a spirit of modesty and good sense by which we are very favourably impressed towards the undertaking.
