Note 33 — 1801. LUCY SHELDON—HER DIARY.
Reading edition
Her piano was made by George Astor and was probably bought of his brother John Jacob Astor. It is still in its old place in her house on North Street, now occupied by Mrs. Nathaniel Rochester Child. It is made in two parts, the body of the instrument fitting on the top of a light separate frame with four slender legs. Pianos of this make were often carried about from house to house by the law students when needed for a ball.—Ed.
