Near the upper end of Second-street, two doors above the
sign of the Ship, is to be seen, in John Baker's house,
after six a clock any evening, among other curiosities,
eight bells ringing truly, both round ringing and changes,
much in imitation of ringing in England, with two young men
and a lady walking, and the lady turning head over heels,
like a mountebank, and the clock drawing a curtain. Also
there is to be seen a Tower and steeple, much like to that
in Bristol in England, with 8 bells and 8 men ringing round
ringing and changes, likewise an image that blows a bellows,
strikes fire, lights a candle and fires a gun.
The price of men, 4d. women 3d. Children 2d.
The like never before in these parts.
