monials, from enlightened and pious persons, of their talents, piety,
and prudence, of having been regularly educated at some College or
University, or of having made attainments deemed equivalent, and
of being in full communion with some Christian Church. Such per-
sons, on assenting to the Constitution of the Seminary, are admitted
to the enjoyment of all its privileges.

the Historical, Poetical and Prophetic Books are read, together

sents advantages very rare, if not unequalled, in this country, for the
prosecution of Oriental Studies. One of its instructors, whose ver-
nacular is the Arabic, and who is minutely and critically skilled in
Hebrew and the cognate dialects, who speaks and writes them with
fluency and ease, has a choice collection of Oriental works ; the Libra-
ry of the South Carolina College is particularly rich in them, and the
Library of the Seminary is as well furnished with them, as most of
the public Libraries of the country. The drilling in the Hebrew lan-
guage is very thorough. Students are practised in writing it, as well
as in reading it. Instruction may be obtained in the city in the
French, German, Italian, and Spanish.

Buildings. These are neat and commodious. The Central Build-
ing is devoted to the Library and other public purposes. Law Hall
and Simons Hall were planned especially for the comfort of the stu-
dents, are lighted with gas, and supplied with the most necessary arti-
cles of furniture.

Library. The extensive and choice Library of Rev. Dr. Smyth,
of Charleston, has been added to the former Library of the Seminary
during the past year, and our whole collection now embraces over
16,600 volumes, besides the private libraries of the Professors, con-
taining 12,000 volumes more. The use of the College Library is also
extended, by courtesy, to the Instructors of the Seminary, a collection
of great value, and now amounting to 25,000 volumes.

The Society of Inquiry on Missions, is in the possession of a valua-
ble Cabinet, and its Reading-Room is furnished with the most impor-
tant Periodicals, Foreign and Domestic.

Expenses. The Board and Washing of a student residing in the
Seminary, amount to from eighty to one hundred dollars per annum.
The Institution is a Charitable foundation, and no charge is made for
room-rent, tuition, or use of Library. Provision is also made for the
support of all Students in indigent circumstances.

The Seminary is pleasantly situated in the thriving city of Colum-
bia, a place remarkable for health, the Capital of the State of South-
