By permission of his Honour the Governor, to be seen, at the
house of John Baker, in Kensington, near Philadelphia, an
exact model or representation of Christ-Church steeple in
Bristol, in Great-Britain, with eight bells, and eight
ringers. Also to be seen, an image, in the likeness of a
woman, erected by mechanic art, five feet high, with a
hammer in her hand, well dressed in woman's apparel, named
Servantine, who draws two curtains, walks across the room,
and with her hammer fires off a ship's gun; then turns
about, walks back, and sets the ringers a ringing in the
true round ringing and changes; afterwards walks along,
turns about, and remains in her first station: Which
curiosities will be shewn all working-days (Wednesdays and
Fridays excepted) to any company not less than five at one
time, at one shilling each, and exactly at five and nine of
the clock each morning and evening; and at any other time,
from nine in the morning, till six at night.
