FRANCIS MAURICE MUSIC TEACHER.
Francis Maurice, acknowledging with much gratitude the encouragement he has received during his attendance at Mrs. Falkener's Room of Instruction, is emboldened to tender his further services. He proposes, from an expectation of an increase of Scholars, to teach Music, vocal and instrumental, treble, tenor, counter bass and thorough bass for the Piano Forte, and Dancing, for twenty five dollars per quarter; and promises to instruct those Scholars who may engage with him for one year certain, in the necessary art of tuning the Piano Forte.
