170A (Vol. 2)

Transcription

The charms of variety are irresistible, and ASTLEY carries all before him; his Company is undoubtedly the first in England. At his Entertainments, Wonder herself is outdone; the scientific gaze at each other, scarcely crediting their senses; all is silent admiration; the astonishing Antipodean, while he spins round on his head like a peg top, excites murmurs of surprise, and the universal expression is, “We have seen nothing like this! this cannot be surpassed!” The curtain reascends; the attention is called to more Beards and more Ghosts! and, after surveying the Scenery and Machinery, listening to the Music, and witnessing the tout ensemble of the action, the whole inconvertible proofs of the most striking genius, matured taste, and ample experience, the audience are so impatient to express their approbation, that their transports break out in the most tumultuous manner. Proceed, ASTLEY, the Public are your patrons, and always ready to reward your services.
