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 unacquanted with it, Mr.. ID. refers
to the following remarks and testimonials. H.
stead of teaching Penmanship merely as an
inlitdtire 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, III 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 on sew
eral hundred pupils in this place, the amented
Alfred Hume observe, al consider it but justice
to say, that believe it not only the best sys-
tenn but the only one deserving the nGne-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 ~ years, (mostly in New Oreans) since
the above opinion was expressed, Mr.. D. hopes
has detracted nothing from the merits of his
system, or his skill in teaching it.
