Citation | NM.764.024 8 Oct 1764:42 (318) To be seen at Mrs. Cowley's, a curious piece of clock work, by which the image of a man is made to beat upon a drum to admiration; his wife by his side dances to the drum, and calls him cuckold . . . He was the first drummer in the King of Prussia's army, and has been one in Germany, London and Boston for ninety years past. He continues to be seen no longer than ten days, from ten o'clock in the morning 'till nine at night. Newport, Sept. 24, 1764. |
