BY PERMISSION OF THE RIGHT WORSHIPFUL
THE MAYOR.
UNDER THE DI,TINGUISHECI AND PERMANENT PATRONAGE
OF THE UNIVERSITIES OF OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE.
TE Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liverpool, are'
I most respeornily invited tEr visit- and examine the-est...
Dishing. 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 the adventurous Voyagers in the Northerc(
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.
believed. understood, and even to be believed. Fhe examination of the'
Skeleton now offered for public ins ection must impress every
«
mind with a sacred sense of the Bless'b ower of the Creating
Hand that produced all the living wonders of the Earth, front"
the minutest insect to the magnanimous monarch of the ocean.
The Whale, of which the. Skeleton is now to be 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, nn 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 crowd by 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.
