from London, who is to leave the island soon, a large and
curious collection of it, in manuscript and print;
consisting of concerto's, sonata's, solo's, duets, Italian
and English songs in score; among which are McGibbon's and
Carusi's trio's: Duets by Handel, Camini, Gerard, Dotzel,
&c. all very pretty and easy: Col. Reid's famous solos's,
&c. All the old and new Scots songs and tunes, with the
variations, by Messrs. Monro, Rutherford, Oswald, McGibbon,
and Bremner: Lampe's musical magazine, with the thorough
bass, with very large copper plates to each song; variety of
guittar and harpsichord musick; large and small blank rul'd

learning the thorough bass without a master; Crome's rules
to play the fiddle well, without a master, by way of
question and answer, with 25 copper plates; new country
dances, minuets, Scots reels, marches, hornpipes, &c.
Instructions for singing, and for all instrument singly, and
for transposing musick into keys proper for your instrument;
good German flutes, at 3 dollars a piece; others with 2 or 3
middle pieces, to lower the pitch, to accompany the voice,
or any wind instrument; fiddles lined and corner stopt, to
strengthen 'em, and to prevent their unglewing in hot or
moist weather, at all prices from 3 dollars; hautboys and
reeds; common flutes of all sizes, from a dollar and
upwards; fiddle (and bass viol) bridges, well season'd, at
5s. lawful money per dozen; breech pins, tail pieces, and

off) in his travels thro' Italy, Germany, France, Spain, and
elsewhere.
N.B. He lodges at Mr. James Gould's, schoolmaster, in
Thames-Street, near the parade.
