JOHN STEPHENS'
TAKES this opportunity to inform the public, that
1 he hath defolved partnership with Samuel Dugee,
in Third-Sreet, between Market and Chefnut-ftreets,
opposite to the old work-house, and removed to Chef
nut, between Second and Third flreets, opposite the
Fountain Inn; where he means to carry on the Sadd
lery business, in all its various branches. Those gentle
men that please to favour him with their cuflom, may
depend upon Arid attention being paid to their favours.
TH E subscriber receiving daily applications of a
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
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.
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 strangers 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 wish to
visit his collection, under the following requisitions.
The days fixed are on Tuesday, Thursday and Satur
day, the hours of admittance for each company at 10 it
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
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
collection for the present, which he has some reason to
believe will give fatisfadion to his visitors, whether
lovers of the fine arts, naturalists or curious in general-
His friends and acquaintances residing in this city who
have net 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.
He takes this public opportunity to return his grate
ful thanks to all those persons who fox several years past
have from various parts of this continent contributed to
encreafe his collection, and hopes he will continue to be
favoured with such articles as may fallin their pos
session, more particularly as he intends his cabinet so
be hereafter the foundation of the firft American muse
um.
Tickets to be had every morning, Sundays excepted,
at his house, in Arch-street, above Fourth-street, at
half a dollar each.
