Programme Notes

Overall details on the lecture provided by the Kingston Chronicle: 

“The Young will here derive fine general conceptions of the order and system of Nature, and will find in these a groundwork on which their future studies or reading will easily be ingrafted. No recommendation can be a-wanting to the value and interest of such instructive entertainments; and the patronage Mr. Jones has received is sufficient evidence of his merit and the utility of his Exhibitions” (Kingston Chronicle, 24 September, 1831, 2) 

Part One of the lecture: 

"...commence with a Lecture on Astronomy, prepared and illustrated by Optical Instruments; being a precise, yet explicit description and explanation of the most striking and interesting Phenomena of the Heavens, in a series of Diagrams."

"To conclude with a splendid Phantasmagoria, exhibiting a variety of very interesting views and laughable subjects" (Kingston Chronicle, 24 September, 1831, 3)
