PEN IMAM SHIP.

WsR ETT%G,
AT THE SALOON OF
VESSEL & THOMPSON, 40 Union St.
In a few lessons Ladies are taught to write
! in a 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, and 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, bis
system of writing needs no recommendation,
| but those unscquainted with il, Mr.. ID. refers
| to the following remarks and testimonials. In
stead of teaching Penmanship merely as an
| imjtdtiTs Art, an experience OF twenty years
has enabled him to reduce it to the certainty
of aScience, so that being guided by kROvtedgs
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 lis system and so uniform its
success that after witnessing its effects on sew
eral hundred pupils in this place, the lamented
Alfred Hume observe, II consider it but justice
TO say. that | believe it not only the best sys-
tenn but the only one deserving the nGrSs-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 II years, (mostly in New Orleans) since
the above opinion was expressed, Mr.. D. hopes
has detracted nothing from the merits of bis
system, or his skill in teaching it.
From the RI Rec. Bishop Otev.
