Church Music. Ready for engraving, and to be published by
subscription, the following select pieces, consisting of a
compleat set of church service, viz. A Te Deum Laudamus;
Jubilate Deo; Benedicte omnia opera domini; Canata Domino;
and Deus Misereatur; a burial service, and an anthem for any
grand funeral; a compleat and well adapted anthem to be sung
at the time of any charitable contribution; a grand chorus,
Hosanna to the son of David, Blessed is he that cometh in
the name of the Lord, &c. proper to be sung at any meeting,
or convention of the clergy, of any denomination; as also an
anthem 133d psalm, for any grand meeting of Free and
Accepted Masons: the whole to be published in score, which
will contain, according to the best calculation, sixty folio
pages, to be engraved and worked off in the neatest manner,
and on the best paper; the work will receive the greatest
dispatch as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers
offer, who are requested to be as speedy as possible to
deliver in their names and places of abode. The price to
subscribers will be one dollar and an half; one half to be
paid at the time of subscribing, and the other half on the
delivery of the book. Subscriptions are taken in by
Messieurs Rivington, Hold, and Gaine, Printers, in New-York;
Michael Hillegas, Esq; and J. Dunlap, Printer, in
Philadelphia; Mr. R. Draper, Printer, in Boston; Mr.
Southwick, in Rhode-Island; Messrs. Purdie and Dixon,
Printers, in Williamsburgh; J Hamilton, Esq; for Baltimore
and Charlestown, in Maryland; and Mr. Green, Printer, in
Annapolis. All the subscription money is to sent and
deposited in the hands of Messieurs Rivington, Holt, and
Gaine, or either of those gentlemen, in New-York, who will
take care that no money shall be paid to the compiler, till
they have inspected the manuscript, and seen it dispatched
to the engraver; and in case a sufficient number of
subscribers should not offer they will return the
subscription money they have received.
N.B. There never was any compleat set of church service made
public, not can any be procured but by friendship and a
great expence; neither is any burial service of any kind to
be purchased, unless it be that in Dr. Croft's anthems,
which is sold for two guineas.
