Musick and Instruments To be disposed of by a gentleman
lately arrived from London,
A very large and curious collection of it in manuscript,
(warrented correct) and in print; consisting of Concertos,
among which are the 16 of the famous Duke of Caputi, of
Naples, which nobody else has complete; Sonatas, Solos,
Duets, Opera Songs in score, in Italian and English, and the
prettiest of 'em transposed into easy keys for the German
Flute, Violin, or Harpsichord, to accompany the voices; they
may be play'd either Lesson-ways, or with the Thorough-Bass,
in the nature of Venician Ballads, in two parts: They are by
Leo, Pergolese, Hasse, Galuppi, Handel, &c. Amongst which
are McGibbon and Carusi's famous, easy and very pretty
Troi's[Trio's?]; Camini, Handel, and Gerard's famous, easy
and pretty duets; likewise Seiffi's and Dotzel's 12
Nocturnals, Col. Reid's famous Solos. All the old and new
Scots Songs and Tunes, with the variations, by Messrs.
Munro, Rutherford, Oswald, M'Gibbon, and Bremner. Polly, an
Opera, (and other operas) by Mr. Gay, with the musick for

Instrument. The Merry Mountebank, viz. Humourous Songs,
