art, and who find private lessons expensive, Mr. W. PATON hay
formed a CLASS at his-own house, (on an economical, interest-
and highly advantageous plan), where the various hands will
he taught suitable to the man of business or the finished-penman.
Mr. Paton feels anxious that this class may be viewed as a com-
plete nursery for penmanship on undisputed, principles; and as a
farrier against the vague and improper encroachments of depraved
taste and assumed talent so frequently pressed upon the notice of
the public, whose attention ,being necessarily directed to Other'Ob-
pets, have not always time to investigate the merits of every pro-
Posed system. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, from 6toB in
the evening. Terms may he known by applying to Mr. Paton.

It is from Jackson's tine portreit, a most powerfu nd striking
resemblance, and beautifully engraved by Thomson, -an oval
,shout the size of half a crown piece. At this moment, when His

lint in Mr. Paton's specimen there is no repetition : the hands are
So admirably chosen and arranged, the flourishes so varied and
natural, and the whole performance so exquisitely fine, that it may
unquestionably be considered the most magnificent production in
the art of ornamental penmanship that has ever appeare'l in this
country,.'
