He takes this public opportunity to return his grate

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 defrous to fee the
curiosities it contains, that he will set apart three days
in the week to receive the companies who may wish to
visit his colleaion, under the following requisitions.
The days fixed are on Tuesday, Thursday and Satur
day, the hours of admittance for each company at 0 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 themfeives he hopes
will not 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 be particularly mentioned.
Want of room prevents his giving a syllabus of his
colleaion for the present, which he has some reason to
believe will give fatisfa&ion to his victors, whether
lovers of the fine arts, natnralifls or curious in general.
His friends and acquaintances residing in this city who
have not yet, or but imperfectly visited his cabinet,
will upon their application have particular hours ap.
pointed for that purpose not interfering with the pub
lic days.
Tickets to be had every morning, Sundays excepted,
at his house, in Arch-Greet, above Fourth-Greet, at
half a dollar each.
TH E fubferi ber receiving daily applications of a
number of gentlemen from various parts of rhe
Un ted States and from Europe, to be admitted to view
his colleaion of natural and artificial curiosities, paint
ings, &c. must acknowledge, that it has not always
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.
