John Ormsby, who lately arrived from London, begs leave to
acquaint the publick, that he teaches fencing with foils,
and dancing, in the newest taste now practiced in Europe, at
Mr. Forster's house, opposite the Horse and Dray, in Market-
street, Philadelphia.
Fencing on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, in
the forenoon, for twenty shillings a month, and the same
entrance.
Dancing on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, in the
afternoon, for a pistole a quarter, and the same entrance.
N.B. Said Ormsby will also instruct gentlemen and ladies
in their private apartments, that do not chuse to be taught
in a publick school; and as he has had the honour to tutor
several gentlemen and ladies of the first rank in different
parts of Europe (as appears by his recommendations) he
humbly conceives that he is a person properly qualified to
instruct youth in several branches of education,
particularly fencing and dancing, with their necessary
embellishments; which are, a discreet and courteous
behaviour, a genteel easy carriage, without constraint, and
how to appear in the politest company with a becoming grace
and modest assurance.
