fnjly ; in the due preparation for which , they are tinder the careful siiperintendance of their tutor . In the first and second years , they also go through a course of general history ; and hear lectures on oratory and criticism . In the second year , the attention of the students Is besides directed to the philosophy of the
human mind , comprizing logic , metaphysics and moral philosophy . In the third year , the evidences of natural &nd revealed Religion . In the fourth , the Old Testament is more critically and philosophically studied ; the history is compared with Josephus , which is read along with it ; the Mosaic Ritual and Civil Government are carefully examined ^ and the students are exercised in drawing out schemes of each , comparing these
