Agent, who seems at one Time in one Pocket, and at others at a greater
Distance.
In his second Specimen, the Professor Questions and Answers, in two
distinct Voices, with his Lips closed, and no person can discover any alteration
of his Features, altho' a Candle be held close to his Mouth.
In his third Specimen, the Performer holds a Face at some distance
from his own, which, with another object, he Questions and Answers with
three Voices. - The Voice from the Face sings "God Save the King."
In his fourth and last Specimen,
THE VENTRILOQUIST
