_The Exercise of the Snuff-Box,

according to the most fashionable Airs and Motions,

in opposition to the Exercise of the Fan,

will be Taught with the best plain or perfumed Snuff,

at_ Charles Lillie's _Perfumer

at the Corner of Beaufort-Buildings in the_ Strand,

_and Attendance given

for the Benefit of the young Merchants about the Exchange

for two Hours every Day at Noon, except_ Saturdays,

_at a Toy-shop near_ Garraway's _Coffee-House.

There will be likewise Taught

The Ceremony of the Snuff-box,

or Rules for offering Snuff to a Stranger, a Friend, or a Mistress,

according to the Degrees of Familiarity or Distance;

with an Explanation of

the Careless, the Scornful, the Politick, and the Surly Pinch,

and the Gestures proper to each of them_.

N. B._The Undertaker does not question

but in a short time to have formed

a Body of Regular Snuff-Boxes

ready to meet and make head against

[all] the Regiment of Fans which have been

lately Disciplined, and are now in Motion_.
