subscribers twenty-five) one dollar advance at the time of
subscribing, the remainder to be paid when the work is
compleat and delivered.
III. Three weeks after fifty subscribers have approved of
these conditions, the book for the violin will be published;
the others will be published every three weeks after, till
the whole is compleat.
IV. An elegant, new, and original frontispiece, in the
present taste, will be given.
V. Subscriptions are received by H. B. Victor, musician; by
Robert Bell, printer and bookseller, in Third-street; by
