By the King's Royal Letters Patent.
OF all new Introductions in Domestic Economy, none
have ever met with more universal approbation than
ROBINSON'S Patent BARLEY and Patent GROATS ; they
completely supersede the use of the common Pearl Barley or Emb-
den Groats, a superior beverage being produced in ten minutes, and
at one-half the expense.
These nutritious preparations have been submitted to the medi-
cal profession throughout the United Kingdom, and have met with
the most decided approval and recommendation ; in fact, many
physicians of the greatest celebrity have declared, that the Patent
Preparations of Barley and Groats excel! all other articles in use as
' a food for children, &e. The Patent Barley makes superior barley
water in ten minutes, and is infinitely better than the common bar.
ley for thickening veal, mutton, and other broths ; it is also in the
highest repute for making a most delicious pudding or custard.
The Patent Groats produce, in ten minutes, an excellent smooth
and delicate gruel, which, owing to the patent mode of preparation,
will never turn sour on the stomach.
Bold retail by all respectable Druggists, Grocers, &e. through.
out the Kingdom, and wholesale by the sole Inventor, Pa-
tentee, &c. Matthias Robinson and Co. No. 64, Red Lion-street,
Holborn, London.
di.* Several imitations, under the titles of "Anti-patent,"
" Prepared," &c. (which are gross impositions) being daily offered
to the public, particular care should be taken to observe that the
words " Robinson's Patent," the Royal Arms, and the signature
of " Mitts. Robinson," are affixed to each package, as none others
are genuine.

" The Author has here contrived to amass together all the par-

happy co reposition, full of whim, with a slip of morality in it, like
a bit of lemon peel in one's punch, and flavoured by the choicest
lime-juice of slung. No affectation,—no dispirited passages,—no
tame subjects, no nonsense 1 It does not run a long-winded subject
down, but is every thing by fits, and nothing long.' All who have
beard of the wonderful Phenomenon mare, Mr. Well's matchless
Pipylona,—Flying Childers,—Snowball,—Eclipse,—Tom
Hambletonian, and a multitude of others, should purchase these
anecdotes, for they are faithful in the dispensation of fame to man
