AUTOBIOGRAPHY. 1 1 1 



Traveling southward about fifteen miles, I 

 reached the city of Lowell, where I built an 

 academy, and had the pleasure of enrolling in 

 my class a large number of the influential citi- 

 zens of that place, who were as much delighted 

 with my system as I was with my successful 

 efforts. 



The next place of interest to be named is the 

 city of Lawrence, renowned for its mills and 

 manufactures. Here may be seen a building 

 nearly a mile in length, erected along the bank 

 of the famous water-power, and used exclusively 

 for manufacturing purposes. At this city, also, 

 I built an academy, remaining a few days, and 

 meeting; warm-hearted friends, who eave me a 

 large class. 



By this time I had fully equipped myself with 

 all appliances needed to confront and convince 

 the most skeptical, so that no person could suc- 

 cessfully assail my almost perfect system of 

 equine education, which, by the force of its own 

 merits, had thus far won its way, and was daily 

 gaining new favor in the eyes of the public.
