By a lover of his King and country, This is to give notice,
that at the school-house, next door to the widow Bittle's,
in Strawberry-alley, the subscriber purposes, after the hour
of five in the afternoon, to teach on that agreeable
instrument the German flute, by an easy method; and as some
gentlemen are afraid to undertake it by reason of its taking
more wind than they think they can well spare, the
subscriber has invented a mouth-piece, made either of tin or
silver, and does not in the least alter the tone of the
flute, but does the same as if blown by the nicest lip. Any
gentleman inclining to learn, may, by paying fifteen
shillings entrance, and fifteen shillings per month.
N.B. Also the subscriber carefully teaches, reading
grammatically, the various hands in writing, and vulgar and
decimal arithmetick; those that are pleased to favour him
with their children, may depend upon his care and diligence
in teaching and bringing them forward in their learning.
[signed] Robert Coe.
*** The subscriber has a parcel of choice fifes to dispose
of.
