William Selby, organist of Trinity-Church, Newport, just
arrived from London, begs leave to advertise the town, that
he purposes to instruct young gentlemen and ladies to play
upon the violin, flute, harpsicord, guitar and other
instruments, now in use:  And that he intends opening a
dancing school early in the ensuing spring, for young
masters and misses.  As he has been entirely bred to those
genteel professions, and shall make it his constant study,
and greatest pleasure to merit the esteem and approbation of
the inhabitants of the town, he flatters himself with having
their countenance and encouragement.
  N.B. He will attend young ladies, in the musical way, at
their own houses.
