Mr. Morgan informs his subscribers and the public in
general, that he is preparing a large room, opposite to
Doctor Hall Jackson's in Pitt-Street, for his intended
Exhibitions, which will be finished with all expedition.--It
is humbly requested, those gentlemen who purpose honouring
the subscription with their names will be so kind as to send
them either to the Printing-Office, or to Mr. Morgan, the
book being intended to be closed after the first night's
performance.
  Children like tender Oziers take the bow,
  And as they first are fashion'd, so they grow.
  Through the channel of this Gazette, I am desirous of
informing the public in general, that as soon as my room is
prepar'd, I purpose to open an Academy for polite education,
wherein, not only the principles of music, dancing, and
fencing, will be taught in the genteelest taste, but
likewise a thorough attention will be paid to the minds and
morals of the pupils intrusted to my care, in training them
up in the strictest rules of that politeness of behaviour
and propriety of manners, so highly necessary for their
acquaintance with genteel assemblies.  Those ladies and
gentlemen who honor me with their commands, may depend on
the greatest diligence being used by their obedient humble
servant, W. S. Morgan.
  N.B.  As there are many ladies and gentlemen who would
chuse private instructions, Mr. Morgan, will not attend at
any time that does not intervene with the duties of his
Academy.
Portsmouth, September 2, 1772.
