At the particular request of some ladies of distinction, the
Exhibiter of the Lecture on Heads acquaints the ladies and
gentlemen, that this present evening, the exhibition and
concert will be again repeated, (at the Assembly Room, in
the Broad-Way) the principal songs from Mr. Handel's
oratorio's, with Sig. Martini's three grand concerto's, and
the following syllabus in three parts.
Part I. Alexander the Great; Cherokee Chief; Quack Doctor;

taking; Life of a Blood; Woman of the Town; City Politician
humourously described; Gambler's Three Faces; Life and Death

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 public performer on this side the Atlantic. Tickets to
be had of Mr. James Rivington, bookseller, in Wall-Street.
Hugh Gaine, printer, in Hanover-Square. Mr. John Holt,
printer, in Dock-Street. The Merchant's Coffee-House, and

each. To begin
