I did alfb Defign the EreUing of fuch a Mtifu\ Room, as I
have defcribed 3 But it pleas'd God to TJifappoiKt,' and7)ifco»rage
me , by Difabling me (everal ways , for fuch a H'ork^ , as
chiefly by the Lofs of my Hearings and by that means the Empti-
nefioi myTnrfe^ ( my meaning may eafily be gueis'd at ) I only
wanted iV/flwy enough, but no GoodWill thereunto.
It is in Its i?»/4, and Height, of a very Convenient, Fandfom^
and Con/pleat Table-Seize j ( which may Become, and Jdorn a No-

The Kejis, at the upper End, being oC Ebony, znd Ivory, all Co-
^erd with a Slipping Clampe^ ( anfwerabk to the other End of
■■ the 7iZi/e ) which is to take off at any time, when the Organ is
to be us'd, and again put on, and Locl(d up , fo that none can
know it is an Organ by fight, but a Compleat Neiv-FaJIjiond
Table.
The Leaf has in It 8 ZJe/^r, cut quite through very Neatly

a little Church Organ, Co Sprightfully Lufiy, znd Strong, that It is
too Loud for any Ordinary Trivate ufe : But you may Moderate
That, by opening only fo many of Thofe 'Desl^s, as you fee fit for
