Hours from to IL, A. NJ, and from 2 to 4,
p. NJ, and from z to Q 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 unscqusinted with it, Mr.. ID. refers
to the following remarks and testimonials In
stead of teaching Penmanship merely as "a
iRlit0tire Art, an experience Of twenty years
has enabled him to reduce it to the certainty
of Science, so that being guided by kH0rIed0S
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 30 Uniform its
success, that after witnessing its effects on sew
eral hundred pupils in this place, the lsmented
Alfred Hume observe, III consider It but Justice
to say, that believe it not only the best ne
tenn but the only ono deserving the Ranss-foT
by strict attention to the rules given, any per-
son may in 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 II years, (mOstly In New Orlesns) since
the above opinion was expressed, Mr.. D. hopes
has detracted nothing from the merits of bis
system, or his skill 10 teaching it.
