Model of London and Westminster . Signor Grimani, Professor of mathematicks, begs leave to acquaint the public, that he has now compleated, after three years labour, a model of London and Westminster, which he has endeavoured to render as perfect as possible. Every Object is represented in its natural Colours; so that any Person may, at first View, distinguish their own Street and House. The Model is eighty-eight Feet in Circumference; and the Squares, the Churches, the Public Buildings, and the circumjacent Country, form a most striking and agreeable Scene. Signor Grimani intends, in a short Time, to carry this curious Model into Foreign Parts; but first he proposes to exhibit it to public View, for a few Weeks at the Fantoccini Room, in Panton-Street, in the Hay-Market, which is elegantly fitted up for that Purpose. - The Hours of exhibiting are from Eleven in the Morning, 'till Three in the Afternoon; and from Six, 'till Nine in the Evening, every Day, 'till farther Notice.
