Ease, Elegance and Rapidly.
So accurate is his system and so uniform its
success, that after witnessing its effects on sew
eral hundred pupils in this place, the lamented
Alfred Hume observe, II consider it but Justice
to say. that | believe it not only the best sys-
tenn but the only one deserving tie aame-for
by strict attention to the rules given, any per
son may in a short time, acquire free, rapid
and elegant hand"
Such Mr.. d. believes will be the opinion of
all who test its merits, and an experience Of
above - years, (mostly in New Orleans) since
the above opinion was expressed, Mr.. d. hopes
has detracted nothing from the merits of his
system, or his skill in teaching it.
