 Square (established a.d. 1785), sole manufac- 

 turers of the ROYAL PIANOFORTES, at 25 

 Guineas each. Every instrument warranted. 

 The peculiar advantages of these pianofortes 

 arc best described in the following professional 

 testimonial, signed by the majority of the lead- 

 ing musicians of the age: — " We, the under- 

 signed members of the musical profession, 

 having carefully examined the Royal Piano- 

 fortes manufactured by MESSRS. D'AL- 

 MAINE & CO., have great pleasure in hearing 

 testimony to their merits and capabilities. It 

 appears to us impossible to produce instruments 

 of the same size possessing a richer and finer 

 tone, more elastic touch, or more equal tem- 

 perament, while the elegance of their construc- 

 tion renders them a handsome ornament for 

 the library, boudoir, or dra wing-room. (Signed)
