MISS HEANEY, of Boston, Massachusetts,

hoping in their favor for the early entrance of the
boarding and day scholars she may receive, and for
whom every arrangement is made to insure, by her
own unremitted attention, thorough instruction, and
improvement in elementary and elevated learning,
with the best advantages of residence.
Miss H.'s Academy, being so eligibly placed in
the quiet neighborhood of many well-known families
near the President's House and the Departments,

Heuney, as Principal, will instruct her pupils individually
in whatever pursuits of learning or accomplishments
they may engage.
The government of these young ladies will be
that of home education of daughters, of her early
study and much experience in Miss Heuney's
charge of pupils in Boston, Washington, and elsewhere;
simply for the best individual improvement
of the talents, moral and mental culture of such
youth; regulations and order prescribed for them in
ihis family mode of living, as of tuition, study, employment,
and recreation, those only which arc due
to insure the entire welfure of daughters by maternal
education and care.
Young ladies may thus be residents in Miss Heaney's
Academy, having instruction for any acquirements
desired, exclusive of others, and may have
that leisure and intercourse with society, to which
the attention of parents, guardians, or Miss Hcaney,
may be duly given.

and French texts alternately, reading, elocution,
