Arrangements have been completed for giving the residents of the
West end of London, as well as the citizens, the benefit of the course of lectures on Education, to whirls we some time ago alluded, by Mr. JAMES SIMPSON, of Edinburgh. The first will be delivered at Willis's Rooms on Monday, at half-past two o'clock ; and the remaining five on the succeeding Fridays and Mondays at the same hour. The price of one trumpery corn:en-ticket will procure admission to the whole series.
Front the syllabus we perceive that Mr. SIMPSON treats the subject with reference to a conii.rehensive system of National Education ; but in laying the basis of his plan, and proving the necessity for its adop- tion, he takes a view of the faculties of the mind, the physical and moral nature of man, and the romirements of his social condition, that is cal- culated to interest every parent, and to enlighten teachers of all deserip- thins as to the true objects and uses of education. To the zeal of Mr. Sr i voN. mid his perfect mastery of the subject, Lis Ey idetce bel'ore the I 'entml Hee of the, Commons, and his writings,
enable to 1;ear iCc liii e never heard him lecture, but we
are tnbi by thom! Wit() IIIS manner is lively and eitaging., and that the subject in hi., 1:an(is i.ecomes equally entertaining and instruc- tive ; the feiicity of his illustrations being as remarkable as the force elf his reasoning.
