Whereas John Waghorne, now resident in Boston, has been
often requested by some of the principal gentlemen of this
town, to instruct their children in vocal psalmody, with a
promise of encouragement: And he having now a suitable
house for that purpose, therefore this is to inform such
persons who think proper to send their children, that said
Waghorn intends to instruct youth in the gamut and measure
of notes, &c. according to the method of the famous Dr.
Crafts, late organist and composer to his Majesty's Chappel,
and will attend on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, from 4 to
6 o'clock in the afternoon.
He also will teach ladies to japan in the newest method
invented for that purpose, which exceeds all other japanning
for beauty.
He has had the honour to teach several ladies of the first
quality in England, who all did express the greatest
satisfaction for that agreeable and delightful art.
N.B. The said Waghorn is to be treated with at his
dwelling house, opposite to the great trees, at the South
End of this town, and purposes to begin his undertaking when
he has a suitable number of subscribers, in order to make
the learning easy to each scholar.
