Therefore, in order to remove these difficulties, he
has been induced by the advice of his friends, to take
this public method of informing the gentlemen and
ladies Grangers in this city, who are desirous to fee the
curiosities it contains, that he will set apart three days
in the week to receive the companies who may with to
visit his collection, under the following requisitions.
Tiie ys fixed are on Tuefday,Thurfday and Satur
day, the hours of admittance for each company atio 11
and 12 o'clock in the forenoon, and at 3 and 4 o'clock
in the afternoon, allowing an hour for each company;
which to avoid inconveniences to themselves he hopes
wid.net exceed fix in number in a set, by fending for
tickets, a day or two before, the day and hour that
will suit the company will bi particularly mentioned.
Want of room prevents his giving a syllabus of his
collection for the present, which be has some reason to
believe will give fatisfaCtion to his vifitofs, whether
lovers of the fine arts, natnralifts or curious in general.
IHis friends and acquaintances residing in this city who
have not yet, or but imperfectly visited bis cabinet,
will upon their application have particular hours ap
pointed for that purpose not interfering with the pub
lic days.
He takes this public opportunity to return his grate
ful thanks to all those persons who for several years pad,
have from various parts of this continent contributed to
encreafe his collection, and hopes he will continue to be
favoured with fucli articles as may fallin their pos
session, more particularly as he intends his cabinet to

number of gentlemen from various parts of the
United States and from Europe, to be admitted to view
his collection of natural and artificial curiosities, paint

been in his power to comply with their desires owing
to his other occupations, as those unexpected visits must
of course be attended with great loss of time and other
inconveniences to himfelf.
