A musical clock, plays 6 tunes, viz. The rakes of Mallow, 2
minuets, symptoms of love, the miller's wedding, and the
miller of Mansfield; upon 10 bells, two hammers to each,
besides the clock bell; plays every third hour a tune thrice
over, and every part of the tune repeated; and when, or as
often as you please besides.  It tells the moon's age, by a
beautiful moon, adorn'd with stars in the arch of the face;
and the day of the month, as common clocks do.  It stands in
an elegant mahogany case, about 9 feet high, which cost ten
guineas in Liverpool.  This very ornamental, useful and
entertaining piece of furniture, which shou'd bring L.120
currency, is to be sold for L.70.
