PENMANSHIP AND BOOK KEEPING.
Mr. Tousey respectfully gives notice that his classes are forming, and write at times to suit the convenience of persons who cannot attend at regular hours. The style of writing is such as to give perfect freedom to the hand and arm, by which combined movement, the pupil is soon enabled to write a bold, free and expeditious hand. As his stay is limited to teach in this place, pupils will not be admitted into the classes after next week. He solicits the attention of the interested at his academy, Hillsboro* Street, west of the State House, where numerous specimens of pupils' improvements will be exhibited. Schools and Ladies attended on.—Book Keeping by double entry, after the most approved modern plans, taught in the time of 2 or 3 weeks; a general explanation given of accounts.
Terms.—Three dollars for a course of 20 lessons in Writing and Pen-making; 6 dollars for Book-keeping and Writing; and 5 dollars for Book-keeping alone—payable at the termination of the lessons.
N. B. Mr. T. is desirous of forming a night class, from half-past 7 till 9 o'clock.
