_"WHO WANTS A GUINEA?"_

THIS Comedy by Coleman, has for some years past, been often
read and justly admired; the name now appears to have lost
its novelty.

Something of greater magnitude is wished for; something which
will furnish the possessor with more than a competency; which
will assist the industrious and enterprizing man, in
accomplishing his laudable wishes.

call for WHOLE or QUARTER TICKETS, at the _Book-Store_ and
_Lottery Office_ of

HENRY WHIPPLE,

May 17, 1711. _No. 6, Wakefield Place._
