gentlemen who are performers: Particularly a Concerto on the
French Horn. By a gentleman just arrived from Dublin.

Christ, and his coming; being an extract from the late Mr.
Handel's Grand Oratorio, called the Messiah, consisting of

The words of the Oratorio will be delivered gratis (to the
ladies and gentlemen) who are pleased to patronize and
encourage this Concert, or may be purchased of Mr. Tuckey,
by others, for six pence.
As it is impossible that a performance of this sort can be
carried on without the kind assistance of gentlemen, who are
lovers of Music and Performers on Instruments; Mr. Tuckey
will always gratefully acknowledge the favours of the
gentlemen who assist him.
