  Sheet lacks colophon; Girardin advertised his new school exclusively in the Virginia Argus from November 1812 to April 1813, so this handbill almost certainly issued from the press of Samuel Pleasants as well; Girardin abandoned Richmond and his school there in early 1812 after losing his wife, a son, and several students in the Richmond Theater Fire of December 1811; sadly, the featured performance that fateful night was The Bleeding Nun, a French play that Girardin had translated into English for the Placide & Green theatrical company.
