Martin Foy, dancing-master, gratefully acknowledges the
favours hitherto conferred on him by his friends and
employers--He still continues his dancing-school, at the
Assembly Room, in Lodge-Alley, and flatters himself that the
improvement of his pupils in the time past, and every part
of his conduct in his business, will gain him the
approbation of such as wish well to this accomplishment, so
necessary to the easy and genteel deportment of both sexes. 
Ladies and gentlemen who honour him with their commands, may
depend on his utmost assiduity and care in discharging the
trust reposed in him. 
  The public may rest assured his school shall be conducted
in a regular and polite manner; the strictest order and
decorum will be observed, and the greatest attention given
to improve his scholars in every particular relative to a
proper behaviour, at thirty shillings entrance, and thirty
per quarter.  His days for public teaching are Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays:--Misses at nine in the morning, and
masters at five in the evening.  At the request of a few
gentlemen who have already commenced, he has opened a night
school for the reception of gentlemen only, whose time will
not permit their attendance at earlier hours.  The room will
be illuminated from eight till ten o'clock each of the
evenings of the days mentioned.  Ladies who choose to be
taught at their places of residence, will be waited on at a
pistole entrance, and a pistole per month.  Any message sent
to him at Captain Nuttle's, in Norris's Alley, will be duly
attended to.
