in neat, easy and rapid "a amer, and Gentle
men in bold. rapid. business style.
Hours from 9 10 H. A. NJ. and from to 4,
P ~, aid from Z TO Q at night.
Persons from the country can finish their
lessons 10 one week.
As Mr.. d. will not have time TO call on FAM
flies. he hopes that all who desire to join bis
classes will make early application.
To persons acquainted with its merits, his
system of writing needs no recommendation,
but those nnacquaiuted with II, Mr.. ID. refers
10 the following remarks and testimonials. ln-
stead of teaching Penmanship merely as an
inlitatioe art, an experience Of twenty years
has enabled him to reduce it to the certainty
of Science, 60 that being guided by kn0s0Ledge
instead of random practice, n pi : from six TO
sixty years of age can, IN short time, learn
TO write with
Ease, Elegance and Rapidity.
So accurate is his system and so uniform its
guccess that after witnessing its 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
tenn but the only one deserving the name-for
by strict attention TO the rules given, any per
son may 10 a short time, acquire free, rsiiaid
and elegant hand"
Such Mr.. D. believes will be the opinion of
I'll who test its merits, and an experience OF
above 70 years, (nostly in New Orleans) since
the above opinion was expressed, Mr.. ID. hopes
has detracteI nothing from the merits of his
fystem. or bis skill in teaching it.
