22 Jul 1773:11 (1594 Supplement)
Church Music, ready for engraving, and to be published by
subscription, the following select pieces, consisting of a
complete set of church service, viz. A Te Deum laudamus;
Jubilate Deo; Benedicite omnis opere Domini; Cantate
Domine; and Deus misereatur; a burial service, and an anthem
for any grand funeral; a complete and well adapted anthem to
be sung at the time of any charitable contribution; a grand
chorus, Hosannas to the Son of David, Blessed is he that
cometh in the name of the Lord, &c. proper to be sung at any
meeting; or convention of the clergy, of any denomination;
as also an anthem 133d Psalm, for any grand meeting of Free
and Accepted Masons: The whole to be published in score,
which will contain, according to the best calculation, sixty
folio pages, to be engraved and worked off in the neatest
manner, and on the best paper, the work will receive the
greatest dispatch as soon as a sufficient number of
subscribers offer, who are requested to be as speedy as
possible to deliver in their names and places of abode. The
price to subscribers will be one dollar and an half; the
other half on the delivery of the book. Subscriptions are
taken in by Messrs. Gaine, Rivington, and Holt, printers in
New-York; Michael Hillegas, Esq; and John Dunlap, printer,
in Philadelphia; Mr. Draper, printer in Boston; Mr.Southwick
in Rhode-Island; Messrs. Purdie and Dixon, printers in
Williamsburg; J. Hamilton.Esq; for Baltimore and
Charlestown, in Maryland; and Mr. Green, printer, in
Annapolis. All the subscription money is to be sent and
deposited in the hands of Messrs. Rivington, Holt and Gaine,
or either of these gentlemen in New-York, who will take care
that no money shall be paid to the compiler, 'till they
have inspected the manuscript, and seen it dispatched to the
engraver; and in case a sufficient number of subscribers
should not offer they will return the subscription money
they have received. N.B. There never was any complete set
of church service made public, nor can any be procured but
by friendship and a great expence; neither is any burial
service of the kind to be purchased, unless it be that in
Dr. Croft's anthem, which is sold for two guineas.
