PEN NAN SHIP.
MR.. DOLBEAR,
FROM HIS ACADEMY IN NEW ORLEANS.
Respectfully informs the Ladies and Gentle
men of Nashville, that he will give lessons on
we TING .
AT THE SALOON OF
VESSEL & THOMPSON, 40 Union s.


VESSEL & THOMPSON, 40 Union St.
In a few lessons Ladies are taught to write
| in a neat, easy and rapid manner, and Gentle
men in bold, rapid, business style.
Hours from to IL, A. NJ, and from 2 to 4,
| p. NJ, ahd from to at night.
Persons from the country can finish their
lessons in one week.
As Mr.. D. will not have time to call on fam
lilies. he hopes that all who desire to join his
classes will make early application.
To persons acquainted with its merits, his
system of writing needs no recommendation,
but those uDacquainted with it, Mr.. d. refers
to the following remarks and testimonials. In
stead of teaching Penmanship merely as an
imitdtire ATt, an experience OF twenty years
has enabled him to reduce it to the certainty
of aScience, so 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 It's effects on sew
eral hundred pupils in this place. the lamented
Alfred Hume observe, IL consider it but Justice
to say. that believe it not only the best sys.
by strict attention to the rules given, any per
son may in q short time, acquire a free, rapid
and elegant hand"
Such Mr.. D. believes will be the opinion of
all who test its merits, and an experience of
above II 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.
From the Rt. Req. Bishop Otey.
