A School for Musick, opened in Maiden-Lane, by John S.
Slaiff[ss?]er, 43, where gentlemen may be instructed to play
on the violin, flute, and guitar, at one guinea per month.
Mr. Slaiffer will teach any gentleman or lady at their
houses, at the hours that may be most convenient. Few will
pretend to contradict that the charms of music will
sufficiently compensate for the trouble in the attainment of
it: Music makes as great an impression on us as the
bewitching charms of beauty; it humanizes the soul, and is
in short the best companion for the gay, the wounded lover,
or the drooping fair.
