■m/TR ALEXANDER, Finishing Writing-
■'■'•*- Master, 45, Princes Street, continues to
receive advanced Ladies and Gentlemen to his
Classes for Stenography, as practised in the
HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT, Ladies' Italian,
and round turned Business-hand. His Junior
Classes for Writing and Arithmetic continue as
formerly.
P. S To those unacquainted with Mr Alexan-
der's arrangements, it is perhaps proper to state,
that his senior pupils are invariably taught along
with others about the same age, varying from 15
to 50 years, so that no person need feel the least
in attending, while the number to which each class
is limited, insures all the advantages of private
tuition, at his public terms.
From the Scotsman of May 7, 1834.
" We have carefully examined the style of wri-
tlng'taught by this gentleman, and have no hesitation
in saying it is decidedly the best of the kind which
has ever come under our inspection."
From the Evening Post of April 26, 1834.
** To those who require improvement in mercan-
tile or epistolary writing, we confidently recommend
his instructions in Business Hand, and know from
the very best authority, that he is qualified to teach
Short-Hand, upon the principles practised by the
reporters in the Houses of Parliament."

•^^ TO HER Majesty, Lapidaries and Genea-
logists, 73, George Street, return their grateful
thanks to the Nobility and Gentry for the liberal
support they have hitherto received, and beg leave
to assure them, that every exertion will be made to
maintain that character for Heraldic correctness,
and superior workmanship, for which their esta-
blishment has been so long distinguished.
A. D. having for 30 years devoted a portion of
his time to genealogical research, most respectfully
solicits inspection of his labours in that science,
which he trusts, for correctness and elegant design,
will meet with general approbation.
N.JB Gentlemen desirous of tracing family
connexions, may be assisted in the investigation,
which their extensive collection of MSS. and Books
on Genealogy, enable them to do on moderate
terms.
