Peter Pelham, begs leave to acquaint the publick that he
would be willing to settle in this city, upon meeting with
suitable encouragement.  He proposes to teach the harpsicord
or spinnet, and to instruct his scholars, if desir'd, in the
rules and practice of the thorough-bass.  As he has been a
teacher in constant practice for more than 20 years, 15 of
which he has been organist of churches in Boston and
Virginia, and has applied himself to the study, practice and
teaching of musick, as his only business:  He therefore
flatters himself, that such long experience has qualified
him to give full satisfaction to his employers. Those who
may be pleased to become such in this place, are requested
to signify their intentions as soon as they conveniently
can, because his stay in town at this time will be but
short.
  Said Pelham may be spoke with every day, at the printing-
office at the exchange.
