grand set of fire-works, the like never seen here before,
much superior to the last exhibition.
  The galleries.  3s. lawful money, the platform 2s.
  To begin at half after 6 o'clock in the evening.
  Fire-works performed by seven acts.--A most magnificent
triumphal arch.---A pigeon on a line, which will communicate
fire to the arch composed with grand illuminations of
brilliant Italian candles--Diamond and Chinese fire upon the
arch--A spire illuminated with a globe in the centre.--A
girandol adorned.---A representation of a cistern of water
of a new invention, that will go out and come in several
times.---Concluded with a very large bright-shining sun--And
a great many other of the most new and beautiful pieces, too
tedious to mention.
  Musick to be perform'd between the acts.
  The stages will be rectify'd, in order the better to
accommodate the company--and a covering will be over the
platform, to prevent the dews falling.

purchase tickets the day before.
