Tournay, April 20. N.S. On the 12th instant died here, and
on the 15th was interr'd, the body of that celebrated artist
in making flutes, Mr. Bressan. He was taking a tour thro'
the Austrian Netherlands, and his loss is greatly regretted,
as well by all lovers of musick, as by his inconsolable
widow and 3 children, (a son and two daughters) who reside
in Somersethouse in London. He died a Romanist, left 500 l.
to an advocate of Tournay, and ordered a Mass (for his soul)
to the Virgin and All Saints.
