The Favtdtij (if Alls as ifow orgarnsed, possesses the means of giving a sound inatheinatical-, cla*isical, and scientific education ; and by perinilting ojitions in tlit; more advanced classes, by admitting oc- cuMonal studt'iits, and by providing special courses of study in practical science, provision ha.s bei.n made for developing the special tastes and a[)titu'!es of students, and for affording facilities to those who are desi- rous of studying the apfiliculions of science to the useful arts. J3y these arraugemeits the University cm'eavours to adaptilself to the ten- deutiosofthc age, and to the practical business of life as it presents itself in this country, while it preserves the completeness of its regular unilergraduite course. Tlie Favitfti/ of JM€dicinr,i\\Q edlciency of which has been long tcvted and widely acknowledged, continues to maintain that high stand- dard of professional education on which its reputation is founded. , The yacidtij of La in will e'it< r on the f>n^uing session with an in- creased stall' of professors, and it now oflers a liberal and thorough education to students in that profession. In the High School Dcjjartmcnty the conr>c embraces a good English education in all its brandies, with the Fr>Micli ■uul German lan<>uaires, and the Classical and Mathematical attaini; <• necessar\» to entering the University. The arrangements in ili. deparlment have been improved, additional instruction in French has been )»rovi- ded ; and at the o[)ening of the next teiin the school is expected to assemble in a new building fitted up with all the modern appliances of education. Details of the terms and course of study, in the several Faculties andin the High School Department, will be found under the proper beads. A limited number of boarders will be received into the families of the resident Frofessors ; — terms JGoO per annum. Board can be ob- tained in the City at from $12 to $16 per month. The Principal, the Deans of the several Faculties, and the Rector of the High School, will do all in their power to aid students in procuring suitable lodgings, and generally to promote their comfort and welfare while connected with the Univcrsitv.

The seVeraT courses of Lectures in the Faculty of Law, comprise every branch ot Legal Study, The Educational oflicers of this Faculty have felt that the Law of Lower Canada, though in many of its details purely local, retains, as its leading characteristics, the noble and imposing features of the civil law, and tl.at the principles established in the lloman jurisprudence, still form the groundwork of many of its departments. The lectures, therefore, though prepared with especial reference to the law of Lower Canada, have been, as far as consistent with their primary object, divested of any purely sectional character, and are made to inculcate such comprehensive principles, as form, to a great extent, the basis of every system of jurisprudence. It is considered that this system xvill afford to students of the laws of Lower Canada, a better foundation for their subsequent studies ; and tend to give them a more extended and compreliensive grasp of legal subjects, than a course of instruction conducted solely with reference to local law ; whtle it is hoped, in view of the increased importance which the study of the civil law is every where assuming, that the ad- vantages olTered, and the mode of education adopted by this Faculty, will open to it an extensive field of usefulness. The complete course of study in this Faculty extends over three years, but may be shortened to two years, when the student graduates in the fourth year of his indentures. The following are the subjects comprised in the complete course of three years. • 11 :' ' TO STUDENTS OF THE FIRST YEAR. On Public and Constitutional Ian'.

Students who avail themselves of the privilege of attendiii": two years only, will, nevertheless, be required to pabsi an examination in tlbu «ubjects comprised in the three years cour«e. Occasional Students will be received without matriculation, for at- tendance on any ))articular series of Lectures ; and Students in tlie i'aculty of Arts will be permitted to attend any of the courses, on «uch terms and coadilions as may be fixed by that faculty. The nuitriculation fee is ten shillings, payable only by Students who tiave not previously matriculated in any other faculty. The annual fee for the full course of Lectures is fixed for the present at three pounds ten shillings ; for attendance on any one series of Lectures one pound five shillings per anjium, and the fee on graduation, including dijaloma is one pound five shillings. Students who have completed their course of three years ; or of two years, if they have commenced in t he fourth year of their indentures ; and have passed a satisfactory examination, will be entitled, upon the certiiicate and recommendation of the Law Faculty, to the Degree of Bachelor of Civil Law.

They are taught on the broad ground of their utility, as alfo'-f^ing the best means of training the j)upil into a sound knowledge of gcueral Grammar, and of his mother tongue, and facilitating the acquisition of the modern languages ; they are taught also with reference to the learned professions in which a knowledge of them is required ; and they are taught in consideration of those innate perfections and beauties which, expanding to the mind of the school-boy, are among his inducements to become the College student. The time, however, devoted to the study of the Ancient Languages is not excessive. Instead of the four hours usually given to the sub- ject in the principal Public Schools of England and Scotland, the time has, for many years, been limited in the High School Department of McGill College to two hours daily. The modern branches of Educa- tion have greatly benefited by this change, which, under improved methods of teaching, has been found by several years experience not at all detrimental to progress in the classics. This reduction, indeed, is beginning to be very general in the schools of England. The correct writing of English is regarded as of paramount impor- tance, and the study of Latin and Greek is made to subserve this end. The French and German languages form a part of the ordinary course, more attention being given to the former because it is one of the colloquial languages of the country. Mathematics have an hour daily assigned to them as soon as the pupil is able to cope with the subject. They are taught for reasons similar to those advanced in favor of the Classics ; firstly, because they are an admirable means of strengthening and disciplining the reason ; secondly, for their utility in the various branches of the engineering profession, and in the mechanical arts ; thirdly, because the pursuit of them affords a very high and pure pleasure to the active and inquiring mind. In teaching History and Geography the object will be to impart correct general views of these subjects with a particular knowledge of those countries which most nearly concern us. History has long rank- ed as a science, and the claims of Geography to that honour are very generally acknowledged, whilst its importance in education has never been questioned. The subjects, however, particularly the former, are of such wide extent that to make a school-boy master of them is im- practicable ; but it is possible to inculcate such a method and system of studying them as may enable him to make himself master of them at a future time, should his taste so lead him. The remaining siubjects of Arithmetic, Writing, Book-keeping, Sec, so indispensable in a commercial community, have, in addition to the attention previously given to them, their share of the time which has been taken from the excessive study of the Classics. In the lleligious Instruction which is part of the Course, there is nothing of a sectarian character. The great truths of the Christian religion and the principles of morality are not only made the subject of regular teaching, but are impresicd upon the pupils whenever occasion requires or opportunity otTers. s j lliey Reading and Speljw D .
