There is an advertisement for Hedderwick’s Summer classes on page three of the Glasgow Herald, on Monday the 28th of April, 1834. It reads:

 

“READING & RECITATION.

On page two of the same edition of the Herald, is a short notice:

 

“Our readers will observe from an advertisement in another column that our talented young townsman, Mr. Jas. Hedderwick, Jun., is about to open his Summer Classes for Elocution. Of the great and every day increasing importance of this branch of education it is unnecessary for us to speak. Of the skill of this young gentleman – himself a beautiful reciter – in imparting to his pupils a correct pronunciation and a graceful delivery, we have pleasure in stating that we have the fullest confidence.”
