BY PERMISSION OF THE RIGHT WORSHIPFUL
THE MAYOR.

UNDER THE DISTINGUISHED AND PERMANENT PAVONAGE
OF THE UNIVERSITIES OF OXFORD AND CAMBRiDGE.
HE Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liverpool, are
most respectfnlly invited to visit and examine the asto-
nishing production .of Nature, the Stupendous -
SKELETON OF THE ROYAL GIGANTIC WHALE,
Now EXHIBITED IN QUEEN'S-SQUARE.
The Proprietor deems it wholly unnecessary to attempt any
description of the amazing gigantic native of the Sea, whose
wonderful size, strength, and character (so far as description
can go) are, so well known to 'every reader of Natural History,
who must have been struck with astonishment and admiration
on reading the various accounts of the Whale, not only by the
Historian, but by' tha adventurous Voyagers in the Northern
Seas. It may be truly observed, however, that no written ac-
count can furnish any adequate idea of the enormous frame of
the creature, every bone and joint of Which is a wonder in
itself! It is no exaggeration to say that it must be seen to be
understood, and even to be believed. The examination of the
SkeletOn now offered for public inspection must impress every
mind with a sacred sense of the boundless power of the Creating
Hand that produced all the living wonders of the Earth, from
the minutest insect.to the magnanimous monarch of the ocean.
The Whale, of which the Skeleton is now to he seen, was Found
off the Coast of Plymouth, in October, 1831, and then Weighed
118,0001b5., and measured in length 102 feet, circumference 75
feet.

The Proprietor feels that, on inviting the Public to view a
curiosity so interesting to all who admire the amazing produc-
tion of Nature; he should not do justice to himself if he were
to descend to the too common modes of endeavouring to attract
the crowdby extraordinary assurance of success; but he respect-
fully begs to state that the Skeleton• has been visited by many
Thousands in various parts of the Country, and that every
visitor has been astonished and gratified beyond all expectation.
Admission—Gentry is. ; Tradespeople, Servants, and
Children 6d. each.
