Fen MADSHIP.
MR.. DOLBEAR.
FROM HIS ACADEMY IN NEW ORLEANS.
Respectfully informs the Ladies and Gentle
men of Nashville, that he will give lessons on
WsR TE@G.

w EDoEh @ AaOME OONJ 70 Ou1Ou SI'
In a few lessons Ladies are taught to write
in a neat, easy and rapid manner, and Gentle
men in a bold, rapid, business style.
Hours from to Il, A. NJ, and from to 4,
P. NJ, add 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 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 knopledge
instead of random practice pupils 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
success, that after witnessing its effects 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 aan9e-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 u years. (mOstly in New Orlesns) since
the above opinion was expressed, Mr.. d. hopes
has detracted nothing from the merits of his
system, or his skill in teaching it.
