2.—MODERN LANGUAGES.
Professor Blættermann.—The languages taught in this
school, are the French, Spanish, Italian, German and Anglo-Saxon;—and
if desired, will also be taught, the Danish,
Swedish, Hollandish and Portuguese Languages. In a part of
them there are two classes, of which the senior is taught by
the Professor, and the junior by the Tutor of the school. Besides
the oral translations in the lecture room, the students
are required to write as regular exercises, translations from
the foreign language into English, and vice versa. Lectures
on the Literature of each of the nations whose Languages are
taught, are delivered twice a week, by the Professor, as also
lectures on Modern History, and the political relations of the
different civilized nations of the present day. The text-books
used are the principal classics in each language.
