The great encouragementMr. Wright has had for many years pastin making large Orreries, with the motions of all the Planets andSatellites, and the true motion of Saturn’s Ring, has made him soready and perfect, that Gentlemen may depend on having them madereasonable and sound, not liable to be out of Order.
As may be seen by one he made for Mr. Watt’s Academy inTower-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 OpticalInstruments, are now made in the most complete manner, by B.Cole, Servant to Mr. Wright, at the time of the abovebeing made, and successor to him in the same Trade and Business.
