N*w I am happy indeed to be able to state that I profited considerably by his teaching, and always found him an able, kind, and pains-taking teacher. Mr Twinning possesses what the best authorities consider the sine qua non of every person who would be a successful teacher, viz., patience, and moreover has that virtue to an unusual degree, and therein, I believe, lies the secret of his success, more especially with younger pupils. " I may state that besides myself, a sister and brother have also been pupils of Mr Twinning's, and one and all will always cherish the kindliest remembrances of him. "John H. Chapman, First Assistant." "This is to certify that MrT-. V.
