The Black Swan, in appealing to the generosity of the British
public, assures them that the primary object of her visit to Europe
is, to accomplish herself in the science of music, which
professional friends earnestly counsel her to pursue, and which she
embraces _con amore_, with the confident hope that, by the exercise
of her vocal faculties in a more cultured form, she may be able to
achieve the great object of her life. She is sensible of the
philanthropic spirit of the people of Great Britain, and feels
confident that they will receive her appeal with that kindness and
forbearance that ever characterizes them in the cause of true
humanity.
The Black Swan, therefore, has the honour of informing the
nobility, gentry, and public, that she will shortly appear at a
grand concert (the particulars of which will be announced) under
distinguished patronage.
