The subscription was a guinea, for which now one gentleman’s 
and two ladies’ tickets were issued for each day, or the nine to be 
used all on one day as the subscriber thought proper. Three 
tickets to admit either gentlemen or ladies for half a guinea. 
Single tickets at a “crown” each. To begin each morning at 
half past eleven. 
To this there was a note added, that— 
Mr. Sheridan is now ready to receive the commands of 
such persons as wish to have their children regularly 
instructed in the art of reading and reciting and in the gram- 
matical knowledge of the English language upon the terms 
formerly advertised and by the desire of several gentlemen 
whose sons have returned home during the holidays he will 
immediately receive pupils at his own house in Kingsmead 
Street till a proper place shall be fitted up for their 
accommodation. 
On the 3rd January, 1771, another advertisement* announced 
that Mr. Sheridan proposed to give a new course of three attic 
entertainments. The pieces of composition both in poetry and 
prose to be for the most part different from those delivered in the 
former course, as also a variety in the songs. ‘The first entertain- 
ment was to be on monday, the 7th January, to be continued on | 
the two following mondays. ‘The subscription and time of com- 
mencement as before. By reason of Mr. Sheridan’s sudden indis- 
position the first for the 7th January was deferred until monday, 
the 13th (? 14th), and an advertisementt of the roth January 
announced that to finish the course in the time first proposed, the 
second and third would be on the saturday and monday following. 
Such subscribers as this alteration may not suit were at liberty to 
‘have their subscriptions back. A slight addition to the former 
notices, requested of the company to come early to prevent 
interruption, as the entertainment would begin precisely at the 
time mentioned.
