It is to be hoped that his "apartment" was more "commodious" relatively than that of another master for whom quarters were subsequently provided under the new scheme, and who writes to the Admiralty that he has seen the plan approved, and perceives that one sitting-room, one sleeping-room, and a closet has been provided for each assistant: "Now, I would with the greatest respect submit to your Lordships' consideration," he plaintively continues, "whether this is sufficient to accommodate myself, wife, servant, three sons and a daughter, with every expectation of a still larger family!" There is no evidence extant as to whether their Lordships attempted any solution of this problem. As might be expected, Professor Inman lost no time in drawing up a very complete and elaborate plan of study. The preliminary examination required a knowledge of the first four rules of arithmetic, reduction, and rule of three; to write English with facility from dictation; construction of English sentences; and the definitions, etc., at the beginning of Simpson's Euclid. The students were divided into six classes, new-comers being placed according to their acquirements. _First half-year; or 6th class._ First four books of Euclid, first four rules of algebra and simple equations, the doctrine of proportion, arithmetic, to vulgar and decimal fractions, general grammar, reading in English, French, or Latin, writing, drawing, fencing, dancing. _Second half-year, or 5th class._ Sixth book of Euclid, plane and spherical trigonometry, application of plane trigonometry to surveying, a few propositions in perspective, more complicated simple equations, quadratics, extraction of square and cube roots, leading points of sacred and profane history. _Third half year, or 4th class._ Principles of astronomy, figure and dimensions of the earth, artificial division of the globe by lines and circles, application of trigonometry to the art of navigation and to simple and easy problems in nautical astronomy, the use of instruments generally employed in navigation, nature and construction of logarithms and their application, reading, chiefly in the history and the laws of England, principles of the British Constitution. _Fourth half-year, or 3rd class._ The more difficult parts of astronomy and its application to navigation, observations for latitude and longitude, natural and political geography, prevailing winds and currents. _Fifth half year, or 2nd class._ Fortification, doctrine of projectiles and its application to gunnery, principles of flexions, and application to the measurements of surfaces and solids, generation of various curves, resistance of moving bodies, mechanics, hydrostatics, optics, naval history and nautical discoveries. _Sixth half-year, or 1st class._
