We are assured, that before fireworks begin to be played
off, there will be a hundred and one fine pieces of brass
cannon discharged, which were never made use of before; and
that there will be a band of upwards of a hundred of the
best musicians placed in a gallery in the front of the
fireworks who are to play during great part of the time the
fireworks are going off; that the building will be near an
hundred feet high, and on a large mast, fifty feet, on which
will be fixed the representation of the sun, which will be
thirty feet diameter, and which, on being set on fire, will
expend itself above sixty; and at the conclusion, six
thousand rockets will be discharged all at once.
