ELOCUTION and POLITE LITERATURE. 
M R. HENRY SMEATHMAN, who was many years 
a pupil of the late Mr. Rice, and before he went on his 
travels, praftifed with fuccefs that Author’s ingenious method 
of teaching to read, fpeak and write, with eafe, energy and 
propriety ; begs leave to offer his fer vices, to the public in the 
fame mode of ufeful and polite inftruction. 
r • - V 
Gentlemen intending themfelves for the Church, the Bar or 
the Senate, will by oral and familiar cidnverfation, in a few 
months, receive more improvement, than by a folitary ftudy 
of many years, in an art not taught in our Schools or Univer- 
fities, yet abfolutely neceffary to thofe who wifh to excel in 
public or polite life, or afpire to eminence in eloquence and 
literature. 
By this art, a liberal education is improved and accom* 
plifhed, claffical learning advantageoufly difplayed, and the want 
of a proficiency in the dead and other languages fupplied, as by 
Mr. Smeathman’s method, founded on that of Mr. Rice, the 
pupils may acquire a critical knowledge of the idiom and ele~ 
gance of their own without them.
