LONDON:

Printed for B. Cole, at the Orrery, near the Globe Tavern, in Fleet street, late the Shop of Mr. Thomas Wright, Instrument-maker to his late Majesty; and E. Cushee, near St. Dunstan’s Church, Fleet Street.

MDCCLXXIII.

Advertisement.

The great encouragement Mr. Wright has had for many years past in making large Orreries, with the motions of all the Planets and Satellites, and the true motion of Saturn’s Ring, has made him so ready and perfect, that Gentlemen may depend on having them made reasonable and sound, not liable to be out of Order.

As may be seen by one he made for Mr. Watt’s Academy in Tower-street.

Another for his Majesty at Kensington.

Another for the New Royal Academy at Portsmouth.

Another for his Grace the Duke of Argyle (late Lord Ila.)

And several other large ones for Noblemen and Gentlemen.

The above, and all other Mathematical, Philosophical, and Optical Instruments, are now made in the most complete manner, by B. Cole, Servant to Mr. Wright, at the time of the above being made, and successor to him in the same Trade and Business.
