In pursuance of "The Public Health Ad 1875." I have Examined and Audited the Annual Accounts of
the Stourbridge Improvement Commissioners, as, the Urban Sanitary Authority, to the 25th et March, 1878, and
I have compared the several payments credited to the Treasurer with the vouchers, and found that they had been
duly authorised by the said Authority, and I hereby certify, that, with the exception of the disallowances made by
me at folio 101, the entries appear to be correct and legal,—And that, subject to the explanati la below, the
balance of the Treasurer's Account, viz :—£l74 19s 3d, agrees with the balance which by his own book appears to
have been due to him at the time of closing such account.

over the ordinary glasses at present before the public.
They may be used for reading, writing, or any delicate
work several hours at a time without fatiguing the sight.
They do not require repeatedly cleaning, as the
material they are composed of does not allow the natural
moisture of the Eye to condense upon it.
They are clear and cool, and tend to improve rather
than weaken the eight by constant use.
They are the best, and therefore the cheapest, as they

PROSPECTUS.
rpHE NATIONAL COFFEE PALACE
1. COMPANY is duly Incorporated (with limited
liability) pursuant to Act of Parliament, for the purpose
of establishing and conducting, in London and suburbs,
and in a number of the towns of England and Wales,
Coffee and Refreshment Houses, in which no Intoxicating
Liquors shall be sold, and where people may meet for
social enjoyment and relaxation, without being exposed
to the temptations very frequently connected with the
sale of Intoxicating Liquors.
The Company is being established on a purely com-
mercial basis; and the Shares are offered to the public at
large. It is also intended that the business of the
Coffee Houses shall be carried on for the benefit of the
public generally, and not in the interest of aux particular
' section of society, or any particular body or party either
religious or political.
In London, Liverpool, Manchester, *Poole, Leeds,
Hull, Macclesfield, Cheltenham, Burton-on-Trent, Bary,
Bolton, Glossop, Exeter, Doncaster, Marlborough,
Bangor, Pontefract, Stockport, Wakefield, Newbury,
Ripon, Stafford, Rhyl. Aberystwyth, ttc., companies have
been established with a similar object, and it is well
known that the profits realized (upwards of 10 per cent.
dividend having been paid) are most gratifying and en-
couraging to the proprietors.
This project is submitted to the public in the expecta-
tion that it will be a success both morally and commerci-
ally.
As one of the principal objects of the movement is to
counteract the evil of drunkenness and the baneful
influence of the public house, every care will be taken in
the selection of managers and helpers of good moral
character and sound temperance principles, as well as of
undoubted business aptitude.
His Grace the Duke of Westminster "heartily sym-
pathises with the Coffee Tavern movement, and is of
opinion that the more places of this kind are established
on a souud basis all over the Country the better it will
be for the cause of Temperance.' Miss Florence
Nightingale writes to the Duke "God speed with all my
heart to your Coffee Public House Asiwciation." 'the
Medical 'limes and Gazette says :—" The Coffee Taverns
movement practically deals with a gigantic vice, and its
rapid extension and success throughout the kingdom are
undeniably satisfactory.
The Coffee Tavern movement has met with the appro-
bation of:—His Grace the Duke of Westminster, LO.;
the Right Hon. the Earl of Shaftesbury, KG.; the
Right don. the Earl of Harrowby, ; the Right
Hon. the Earl Cowper, K.G.; the Eight Hon. the Earl
