ADDR

MRS. E RS. PARKS, in making her appearance before
the Public, with her last "GRAND CLUB SUBSCRIP-
TION," is anxious to address a few words to those of her
Friends, Patrons, and Subscribers in Liverpool, who. were mem-
bers of her "Suplemental" Scheme, which—opening inJanuary
and closing in July last—was announced at its commencement
as being intended for a final distribution of that magnificent
property, in the Fine Arts of this country, which Mrs. Parkes
has had the honour of freeing from monopoly.rand throwing
open, with easy and attractive acceptabilityfto the possession
of the Public.

Mrs. Parkes, in then announcin at "SUPPLEMENT" as
final, did not intend the old dram c deception of "more last
words ;" no second farewell be tit was witl.in her contempla•
lion; and she looked to the lof the curtain with the belief
that it would never be r ed again by her; was thankful for
what her friends were do- g, and looked to bring her enterprise
to a conclusion, so a o make it a pleasurable memory to all
engaged in its pursuit ; but, under the force of circumstances,
the curtain fell, as it were, in mid-performance !
With a sale of only five thousand portions out of the ten
thousand proposed, the summer season forced on the close of
the distribution, and Mrs. Parkes was only consoled for her
large sacrifices, at the half-way termination of her " Supple-
mental Subscription," by the belief that its members and the
public would give her credit for honesty and enterprise in the
cause of Art, 'and for caring less for her profit than their praise,
in promoting the exercise of its influence, and the freedom of
its trade.

It is now that the noble property still remaining from that
" Supplement" upon her hands suggests, and indeed demands,
that Mrs. Parkes should raise that curtain which had prema-
turely fallen, for the purpose, as it were, of renewing the per-
formance, and really concluding her engagement with the pub-
lic. And let it be impressed, that in so doing she brings a bill
of fare so additionally powerful and attractive—so replete with
strength, novelty, and riches, that all who encouraged her
Supplemental scheme may assure themselves of advantage
and satisfaction from the more brilliant finale of this last
"GRAND CLUB SUBSCRIPTION." None of her old friends
can be by possibility disappointed ; on the contrary, she holds
out to them a prospect to make the " Pleasures of Hope," in
the treasures of her parting distribution, exceed the" Pleasures
of Memory," derivable from the success and satisfaction of
each that has gone before.

From the liberal spirit of commercial Liverpool, she expects
a due appreciation of the motives that have spurred her on;
and she confidently appeals to her former subscribers to in-
crease the value of their patronage with a muster-roll of new
friends—remembering that the importance of her last "GRAND
SUBSCRIPTION" is enhanced by a leading allotment of "THREE
THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED GUINEAS;" and that the splendid
LIBRARY CABINET, magnificently sculptured, in Which its
unique treasure is contained, is only the richest of the other
elegant pictorial cabinets, and unrivaled framings which sur-
round so many of her allotments with every variety of device.
Day of closing the Distribution, the TWENTY-NINTH OF
MAY.
