At a time when Articles of Intelligence are scarce, the
following celebrate Lecture on Heads, which has been
exhibited to crowded audiences, both in Great-Britain and
America, and met with the most universal applause, we
presume will not be disagreeable to our readers.
. . .[5 columns, text of first part, including the
following:]  However, (to prevent starving) Architecture
turned bricklyer's labourer to a Chinese builder,  Painting
was a grinder of colours to a paper stainer, Poetry turned
Printer's devil, Musick sung ballads about the streets, and
Astronomy crided almanacks.  In some little time Lady
Fashion found them out, and, as soon as Lady Fashion found
them out, all the world ran mad for their company. . .
