NIALS on the Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS' newly
invented SPECTACLE LENSES and INVISIBLE OPERATIVE
VOICE CONDUCTOR for DEAF PERSONS.
From James Blundell, Esq,
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
myself, may stand in need of them.
" JAMES BLUNDELL, M.D.
" No. 1, Great George street, Westminster "
" We, the undersigned, have been for some time making use of
Messrs. Solomon,' newly invented Spectacle Lenses ; the astonishing
relief they afford to imperfect vision gives them the decided prefer.
ence to every other kind of Lens—the clearness of the transparency
brings every object very distinct, and enables individuals to view the
most minute particle with perfect accuracy. These Lenses are par-

Voice Conductor, by which thousands of Deaf Persons have been
greatly benefitted, is not larger than a seven-shilling piece, and when
fixed into the cavity of the ear is soft and easy, and not more uncom-
fortable nor perceptible than having a piece of wool in its place. By
its use the faintest whisper at a public assembly is heard with exact
distinctness.

THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE
NATIONAL GALLERY.
THE PROPRIETORS OF THE WEEKLY CHRO-
USII

EMPIRE.
The Proprietors of the "WEEKLY CHRONICLE," en-
couraged by the still increasing prosperity of their Journal, have
determined upon the publication of a series of Portraits,
ENGRAVED ON STEEL,
Te be called collectively" THE NATIONAL GA LLER Y;"
this title being adopted from the conviction that any other
name, less comprehensive, would be found unworthy of the
extent and high purpose of the undertaking, as well as of the
surpassing beauty with which it will be carried out. The ap-
pearance of " THE NATIONAL GALLERY," whether
considered as a work of art, or with reference to its easy posses-
sion by the very humblest of the land, will form an extraordi-
nary epoch in the history of the English Press.

OBJECTS OF THE WORK.
The purpose of the Proprietors of " THE WEEKLY
CHRONICLE" is to assemble in " THE NATIONAL GAL-
LERY," the Portraits of those Public Men wh• have most dis-
tinguished themselves during the present century ; and whose
labours, whether in the field or the senate, have exercised the
greatest influence upon the age in which they live. In addition
to these will be given the most distinguished Women of the
Court of Queen Victoria ; with whose own Portrait the Gal-
lery would naturally have commenced, but for the circumstance
of its having been sotecently presented to the Readers of the
‘, WEEKLY CHRONICLE."

MODE OF PUBLICATION.
To each Portrait will be appended an impartial Biographical
Memoir, printed on imperial hot-pressed quarto, uniformly with
the Engraving. A Portrait will be published every other Sa-
turday, the 3lemoir being issued every alternate week—hence,
a Monthly Part will contain Two Engravings, with Two Me-
moirs. To those subscribers desirous of possessing THE NA-
TIONAL GALLERY, the price of THE WEEKLY
CHRONICLE will be that of other papers—naniely, Six-
pence. To those, however, should there be such, who may
prefer the Paper without the Engraving or Memoir, the price
will be as at present, Fourpence-halfpenny-
THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE NATIONAL GALLERY.
The First Number of THE NATIONAL GALLERY
will be published on the Ist of July next, and the correspond
ing Memoir on !the Bth ; so that in each alternate week
there will be given a Portrait or Memoir. The work will form
a magnificent annual volume in imperial quarto--a volume not
to be purchased, at the present time, at less than Five Guineas.
Every precaution has been taken by the Proprietors to be pro-
vided with a supply—great as the demand must necessarily be—
by the erection of steam macninery on me premises. a: tne out-
lay of several thousand pounds. Specimens of the Portraits
will be found at the principal Newsvenders throughout the
United Kingdom. That of his Grace the Duke of Wellington
together with a Memoir, may now be received by all Agents
and Book ellers.
ARTISTS ENGAGED FOR THE WORK.
The Proprietors feel that they have only to give the names
of Hayter, Chalon, Latina, and Stewart, as the Painters em-
ployed for the NATIONAL GALLERY, to at once assure
themselves of the confiders tee of the public, not only as to the
worth and beauty of the fornicoming work, but as to the feel-
ing which animates the Projectors in this national enterprise.
Among the Engravers will be fo d
W. II names of Finders, H.
Robinson, Mote, Cook, Wagstaff, W. Holl, Brown, Hall,
&c. &c. &c. Hence, the Publishers have, they conceive, given
suffiicent warranty that ne considerations of test have weighed
with them in their attempts to make the NATIONAL GAL-
LERY worthy of its ambitious title. All that modern art can
effect will be lavished on the undertaking. The
same encils,
the same gravers,
employed to minister p
to the tastes of the
highest and richest in the land, will labour for the gratification
of the humblest Englishman—the painter for the Court will be
the painter for the Cottage.
MORAL INFLUENCE OF THE WORK.
The Projectors of the NATIONAL GALLERY feel that
their contemplated enterprise involves deeper and nobler consi-
derations than may superficially present themselves. it is
scarcely possible that a work of such
should
extent, executed with
all the high refinements of art, not assert a great moral
influence—an influence working for good; and tending at once
to improve the mind, and elevate the taste of the people. In
the NATIONAL GALLERY the Englishman will be con-
tinually reminded of the g, eatness, and of the consequent, value
of his country ;of her gigantic power—her moral might—
her triumphs over rival nations. He will read in the lives if
Englishmen, the irresistible force of British valour—the calm,
comprehensive, and determined resistance to wrong_ the advo-
cacy of the most sacred rights of our most common nature—which
fo m the basis of our national character. All the ennobling
sentiments that constitute the lofty-minded soldier—the wise
and generous Statesman—the Patriot—and the Philanthropist,
,
will be felt and acknowledged by our readers ; and thus in the
projected publication, every subscriber to " The National Gal-
lery" of 4‘ The Weekly Chronicle, will have the gratification
of possessing at the most trifling cost the most perfect record of
his country's glory.
All prisons desirous of receiving this magnificent work with
regularity and ceatainty, should immediately give their orders
to the various News-agents and Booksellers throughout the
Kingdom—a method rendered indispensable from the impossi-
bility of making any arrangements, in so gigantic an undertaking
for the supply of casual subscribers.
