MR. FENNELL

Respectfully submits to the public patronage his intention of delivering, during the ensuing winter,

A COURSE OF

Readings and Recitations,

Moral, Critical, and Entertaining;

Consisting chiefly of detached pieces, selected from the most admired authors, in prose and verse;—Arranged in such a manner as to exhibit a striking display of the human passions, and the gradual influence of vices on the mind contrasted with that of their opposite virtues, in affecting the happiness of man and the welfare of nations. The readings will be occasionally interspersed with observations on the most celebrated authors,

And the ART of SPEAKING.

The whole intended as a combined system of moral, critical, historical, and oratorical instruction, calculated to form the patriot and the man, and lay a foundation for the science of moral and political government.

The course will consist of thirty readings.

Each reading will be delivered in the morning and evening of the same day.

The days of reading will be Tuesdays & Thursdays.

The morning readings will commence at 10 o'clock, and the evening at 7.

None but subscribers will be admitted to the morning readings.

The evening readings will be public, to which also subscriptions will be received.

Subscription to the mornings 8 dollars.

Subscription to the evening readings 10 dollars.

Occasional admission tickets to the evening readings half a dollar.

Subscriptions are received by Mr. Zachariah Poulson, jun. at the Library, to whom the Ladies and Gentlemen who may be inclined to honor the undertaking with their patronage, are respectfully requested to send their names.
