Proposals for subscriptions To purchase a newly invented
apparatus for the instructing young gentlemen in the polite
arts of dancing, fenceing and fiddling, in all the parts
thereof after the newest taste. This apparatus, will be a
very curious piece of mechanism of the automata kind,
consisting of a great number of distinct parts, which when
fix'd, to the several limbs and joints of the learner, shall
so forcibly operate, that his process through all the parts
of the said arts (his will concurring) will be in less than
one hundredth part of the time taken in the common way of
teaching, and the young gentlemen come off a compleat
practitioner, tho' before ever so unapt to learn.
Conditions.
1st. The subscribers to pay down the whole sum they
subscribe.
2d. Every subscriber, or one for him shall be intitled to
the benefit of one experiment.
3d. Assoon as money enough is receiv'd the apparatus shall
be immediately sent for to be here next fall.
4. If it should not come in any reasonable time, the
proposer must crave the patience of the subscribers.
5. If it shou'd never com, he hopes the subscribers will be
kind enough to give him the money they paid in, for his
extraordinary trouble in sending for the said apparatus.
Those who are inclined to subscribe upon the above
generous conditions, are desired to call at James's Head,
near Imposition Corner.
