In a few lessons Ladies are taught to write
in 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 9 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
iaitdtiue Art, an experience of twenty years
has enabled him to reduce it to the certainty
of 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, IL consider it but Justice
to say, that | believe it not only the best sys-
TEN but the only one deserving the nGme-for
W eLElCJ dblSullOu W tLlO IuICS SifSu1 Uty per
son may in q 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.
From the 1T. Req. Bishop Otey.

Having been invited by Messrs. Dolbear, teach

examined their system, and the specimens of im'

prepared to say that the system is scientific and
much superior to any other we have seen-that the
improvement of their pupils is very rapid, and we
therefore take pleasure in recommending them TO
