Martin Foy, dancing-master, takes this method of returning
his most unfeigned thanks to his friends and employers, for
the encouragement he has met with during his residence in
this city, and flatters himself the improvement of his
pupils in the time past, will still add to his
recommendation.  --He has opened school at the Assembly-Room
agreeable to his late advertisement.  Ladies and gentlemen
who please to honour him with their commands may depend on
his utmost assiduity and care in forwarding those committed
to his tuition, in the most elegant and expeditious method,
as well as discharging the trust reposed in him, with all
confidence and fidelity, and may be assured his school will
be conducted in a regular and polite manner.  The days for
public teaching are on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; 
Misses at nine o'clock in the morning, and masters at five
in the evening.  The room will be illuminated each of the
evenings abovementioned, from 7 till 9, for the reception of
gentlemen only, whose time will not permit their attendance
at earlier hours.
  N.B. He proposes teaching gentlemen the use of the small
sword, in the most approved method, which he acquired by
practice and experience, under the instruction of the most
judicious swordsmen in Europe, and will give due attendance
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, in the forenoon; he also
teaches the violin and guittar.
