TESTIMONIALS on the Messrs. S. and B.
SOLOMONS' Newly Invented SPECTACLE LENSES
and VOICE CONDUCTOR for Deaf Persons.
From James Blundell, Esq., M.D.
" I have now tried for some time the Messrs. Solomons' newly
invented Spectacle Lenses, and have experienced much benefit ;
they are far preferable to my vision than any other lens ; the relief
is very great, in particular by candle light, and in course of use for
a length of time the clearness of the transparency brings every object
very distinct ; they can be fully appreciated only by those who, like
Thyself, may stand in need of them.
" JAMES BLUNDELL, M.D.

" No. 1, Great George-street, Westminster."
We, the undersigned, have been making use of the Messrs. So-
lomon;' newly invented Spectacle Lenses ; the comfort they afford
to defective vision gives them the decided preference to every other
kind of lens, we agree in every point of view in the above state-
ment—John Elliotson, Esq., F.l-IS., Conduit-street; Thomas J.-
Pettigrew, Esq., F.R. S., Saville-row ; Geo. G. Sigmund, Esq.,
M.D., 24, Dover-street; Robert Noble, Esq., Surgeon, 36, Albe-
marle-street; W. Jones, Esq., Surgeon to the Infirmary, 15,
Lower Brook-street, Grosvenor-square ; William English, Esq.,
Surgeon, Denmark-hill ; Thomas Griffiths, Esq., Surgeon, Ham-
mersmith; H. Colbourn, Esq.. M.D., 28, Harleyford-place, Ken-
l'ington ; T. Day, Surgeon, Isleworth.
In placing these Testimonials before the public, the Messrs.
Selomons feel desirous to state that their Voice Conductor, for
doe persons, is so small it fits into the cavity of the ear, not the
least perceptible, and the faintest whisper at a public assembly is
heard with distinctness. These important new inventions are pa-
tronised by their Majesties the King and Queen of Hanover, and
their Royal Highnesses the Princesses Augusta and Sophia, her
Serene Highness the Princess Esterhazy, the Princesses Mary and
Rosa, and his Grace the Duke of Manchester, &c. &c.

TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA `l4'L t:.
LADIES AND GENTLEUEN,
HAVE the honour to submit to you the Resolu-
tions passed at a numerous Meeting of my friends and supporters,
at the London Tavern, this day, manifesting the sentiments of
.a
large and influential body of Proprietors on my qualifications for a
seat in the East India Direction.
I beg leave to assure you that, in the event of my attaining the
high and honourable object of my ambition, it shall be my constant
study to merit the favourable opinion entertained of me, and to
prove myself a zealous supporter of the rights of our native fellow-
subjects, and a faithful servant of the East India Company.
With a grateful acknowledgment of the flattering support which I
have already received, and soliciting acontinuance of your influence,
I have the honour to be, with great respect,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your most obliged and faithful servant,
W. H. SYKES, Lieutenant-Colonel.
47, Albion-street, Hyde-park, Jan. 7, 1839.
At a numerous Meeting of Proprietors of East India Stock,
friends of Lieutenant-Colonel Sykes, F.R. S., held at the London
Tavern, on Monday, Jan. 7, 1839 :
Sir CHARLES FORBES, Bart., in the Chair.
First Resolution—Moved by Sir PETER LAURIE, seconded by
GEORGE ARBUTHNOT, Esq., and carried unanimously—
That in the administration of the affairs of the British Empire in
the East, it is of the first importance that the executive body should
be chiefly composed of men who, by long service in India, have ac-
quired a competent knowledge of the character, feelings, and inte-
rests of our native fellow-subjects, whose welfare and happiness it
is the paramount duty of the East India Company to promote by
every means in their power.
Second—Moved by Mak r- General BRIG GS, Madras Army, seconded
by Major-General Sir JAMES SUTITELLAND, Bombay Army,
K. L. S. , and carried unanimously—
That the early part of Colonel Sykes's military career, which was
devoted to the attainment of an intimate acquaintance with the
character and constitution of the Native Army, his proficiency in
the native languages, and his constant intercourse for a period of
years with the agricultural population of the I,lahratta territories,
whilst he held the important office of statistical reporter to the
Bombay Government, enabled him to acquire that thorough know-
ledge of the resources of the country, and the social condition of
the people of India, which peculiarly qualifies him for a seat in the
East India Direction.
Third—Moved by Sir JOHN J. HANSLER, F.R. S., seconded by
Major GEORGE WILLOCE, K.L. S., and carried unanimously—
That on these grounds, and relying with confidence in the well-
known zeal, ability, and independence of Colonel Sykes—qualities
so essentially requisite in public men—the present meeting strongly
recommend him to the Proprietors at large, and pledge themselves
to use their beat exertions to ensure his election to a seat in the
Direction on the first vacancy.
CHARLES FORBES, Chairman.
Fourth—Moved by JOSEPH HUME, Esq., M.P. ; seconded by
Capt. RIVETT CARNAL, R.N. : and carried unanimously—
That the cordial thanks of this meeting are due, and are hereby
given to Sir Charles Forbes, Bart., for his zeal, ability, and impar-
tiality in the Chair.
