highly approved and patronised, and so successful a 

 commencement made for the propagation of religion and 

 virtue. His not having lost any of his pupils, but rather 

 continuing to increase, which at once evinces that a 

 general satisfa6lion prevails among the Parents of those 

 Children in the progress of their learning; and trusts 

 that he shall ever continue to merit their approbation, by 

 using all diligence to continue the like ; assuring them 

 religion and virtue have ever been his aim, and glories 

 in the delightful task, to pour instru6lion over the mind, 

 to breathe the enlivening spirit, and fix the noble pur- 

 pose ; with all its imitable perfections as far as his own 

 ability will admit of teaching good English reading, 

 writing and arithmetic ; promising particular satisfaction 

 in writing, either round hand or Italian, whichever the 

 child may be most inclined to. And to use his utmost 

 endeavours for the promotion of religion and virtue ; to 

 study complaisance and keep good order among them. 

 As virtuous instru6lion in a youth gradually produces 

 flourishing manhood ; complaisance renders a superior 

 amiable ; an equal, agreeable ; and an inferior acceptable 

 wherever he goes ; virtue having rewards which shall 

 outlive the grave. Wishing success to every promoter 

 thereof, and for more advocates, say — God speed the 

 plough.
