This is to give notice, that Theobald Hacket, dancing-master
(lately come from England and Ireland) has open'd a dancing-
school in this city, at the house wherein Mr. Brownell
lately liv'd, in Second-sreet; where he will give due
attendance, and teach all sorts of fashionable English and
French dances, after the newest and politest manner
practised in London, Dublin, and Paris, and will give all
young ladies, gentlemen and children (that please to learn
of him) the most graceful carriage in dancing, and genteel
behaviour in company on all occasions, that possibly can be
given by any dancing-master whatsoever: he will teach by the
month or quarter, as reasonable as any good master.  
  N.B.  If any be inclin'd to agree by the Great, or learn
privately, he will attend them duly, either at their own
houses, or in his room, (out of school hours) and that with
the utmost discretion.
