Reading edition

From this list it appears, that the first class (of 9 boys) could read, spell, and translate Goldsmith’s History of England to p. 77, and Scripture Lessons, on the History of Joseph to p. 14. They committed to memory the 117th No. on Agriculture, and 248th No. on Astronomy, of Blair’s Preceptor. They worked exercises on the 14th Rule of Syntax of Lennie’s Grammar; the Rule of Three; 13th Problem on the terrestrial globe of Goldsmith’s Grammar of Geography, and were committing to memory the 2nd part of Watts’ Catechism a second time.
