The exhibiter thinks it needless to say any thing in
favour of these well known and much admired lectures; but,
begs leave to acquaint the ladies and gentlemen, that he
flatters himself with being able to produce a musical
genius, who, for his vocal abilities, is not inferior, (if
equalled,) to any publick performer on this side the
Atlantic --Tickets to be had of Mr. James Rivington,
bookseller, in Wall-Street--Mr. Hugh Gaine, Printer, in
Hanover-Square--Mr. John Holt, Printer, in Dock-Street--The
merchant's Coffee-House, and at Mr. Hull's tavern, in the
