BENSON'S ENGLISH SCHOOL, 1806.
ENGLISH SCHOOL.
I will commence teaching an English School at my former place of residence in the town of Halifax, on Monday the 6th instant. My prices for teaching will be 12 dollars per learner, a year—and quarterly payments in advance. I will board four orderly well bred boys, in the most ample and genteel manner. My ability and attention will be united to merit the approbation of such gentlemen as may think proper to give me encouragement. James B. Benson.
