The sjubpcnber havinjr been appointed sole A^ent for 

 the Side,. m and about Richmond, of the celebrated Pi- 

 anos of Chic'<erinj2: & Sons, has now for sale at his 

 store, on Main Street, opposite the Exchano:e Bank, a 

 large and varied assortment of these superb instru- 

 ments, which as oblifred to do by the terms of his agen- 

 cy he sells at the factory prices. 

 ' His stock embraces a.<i large and elegant art assort- 

 merit as can be fuinid in any of the Northern cities, 

 affording: the citizens of Richmond and Virg:inia, all the 

 advantages possessed by the people of the North in 

 the prices and qualities of Piano Fortes. Among his 

 assortment is the 



« CeiCKERI^JG'S XIV," 

 an instrument which for beauty, excellence of tone, 

 delicacv of touch, and elegance of finish, is universally- 

 admired. It stands unrivalled save by the 



PARI.OR GRAN1» PJANO, 

 which claims attention as the chef d'ceuvre of the Mes- 

 srs. Cliickering, and which is considered by the first ar- 

 tists si'peiior to any instrument ever produced in this 

 or any other country. This Piano, whilst it possesses 

 all the excellencies" of the $1500 Grand Piano, is free 

 from all its defects. The touch is so light that the del- 

 icate hand of a lady performer can produce the same 

 volume of tone as that of the most experienced mas- 

 ter. The st\ le is unique, and the instrument may be 

 placed in any position in the room, with equal advan- 

 tage to -ound and apjiearance. 



The Parlor Grfind Piano has entirely superseded, in 

 all the larg*'r ciiies, the more costly and ponderous 

 Grand Piano, it having been decided bv the most^com- 

 poteni judges to combine the best qualities of the Grand 

 and Square Piano. See Report of Judges to Hoard of 

 Directors of Kerducliy Mechanics' Institute, Louis- 

 ville.] 



That persons in Richmond and its vicinity, desiring 

 to puK'hase their pianos, may be sure of obtaining a 

 genuine instrument, the Mess'rs. Chickering, (see their
