The system is described as 'patronized by upwards of twenty thousand persons of distinction !!!'. Stuart announces his arrival in Hatfield and his intention to give instruction in his system for a short period. A course of 'Six short and easy lessons', for the price of one guinea', is said to teach 'the most perfect freedom of Hand, and correct uniformity of Style'. Those who cannot write at all will be taught 'a beautiful Hand in Twelve Lessons for Two Guineas', while '[]n-Making in One Lesson' costs five shillings. Stuart will only be a short time in Hatfield due to his 'Engagements in Doncaster', so 'early application' is recommended.
'Numerous Specimens' may be seen on application to Stuart, in person or 'by Letter (post-paid)' [see HC/2/2-3].
