This day are published, and sold by Rivington & Miller,
north-side of the Court-House Boston, The Connoisseur,
written by Mr. Town, Critic and Censor General of Great
Britain.
A collection of the most witty and entertaining essays,
written in the manner of the Spectator and Tatler; what
Shakespear calls the "form and pressure of the times," is
more immediately visible in the Connoisseur, than in any
thing of this kind ever yet seen.

Two pretty letters from a pretty miss in breeches, and from
a blood in petticoats.

On good company.
