classes will make early application.
To persons acquainted with its merits, his
system of writing needs no recommendation,
but those unacQuainted with it, Mr.. d. refers
TO the following remarks and testimonials. In
stead of teaching Penmanship merely as an
imitatiUe Art, an experience of twenty years
has enabled him to reduce it to the certainty
of a Science, 50 that being guided by knowledge
instead of random practice, pupils from six to
sixty years of age, can, in short time, learn
to write with
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 bat the only one deserving the naDle-for
by strict attention to tile 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 u 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.
