pletes a picture of which the possessor may well be envious. A plan
of the Estate and a view of the Villa, is in preparation, and May be
had 21 days anterior to the Sale, at the Jerusalem, and Lloyd's
Coffee Houses, Combat; the Mart; and at Mr. Robins's Offices,
London.

P.S. Building is proceeding as rapidly as in England; Foreign-
ers may possess Freeholds on the same terms as the Greeks;
there is an English Church. All religions are tolerated, and the
Protestant Church in great favour.

JOYCE'S PATENT HEATING APPARATUS, HELD EL.
CLUSIVELY FOR ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND; WITH
AN IMPROVED AND VERY VALUABLE PANT
MACHINE FOR GREEN HOUSES, COMBINING HOT
WATER, AIR, AND STEAM; TOGETHER WITH THE
PATENT FUEL ADAPTED FOR ALL PURPOSES.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS begs to notify to
Capitalists and Speculators, that he is favoured by
instructions from Mr. William Harper, the Sole Proprietor, to
submit to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at his Great Rooms, in
Covent-garden, on WEDNESDAY, the 14th of August, without the
slightest protection as to price, the above extremely valuable and
fast improving Patent; the respectable Proprietor feeling compelled
to part with his interest in it, in consequence of his other multitu-
dinous affairs engrossing his whole time and attention.
In announcing for UNRESERVED SALE,
JOYCE'S CELEBRATED PATENT
HEATING APPARATUS,
Mr. Robins feels that in order to do justice to his employer he
must travel a little out of the usual course, because he is placed in
a situation of more than ordinary difficulty. He is fully aware
that he has to overcome a ridiculous public prejudice; but he feels
so strengthened by the real intrinsic worth, as well as the actual and
positive success of the Patent, that he approaches his task with con-
fidence. Facts are stubborn things, and it requires a few only to be
mentioned to compel the most violent enemy of this
PROFITABLE AND SUCCESSFUL PATENT
to hold his peace. Notwithstanding the outcry raised far and wide—
notwithstanding the virulent and partisan attempts to crush and
annihilate--nay, notwithstanding the most unfair attacks, this
unsurpassed invention has risen triumphantly beyond, and de-
feated its little.minded opponents by its own proud superiority—
o wit—
IN ONE TEAR, FROM MARCH 1838, TO FEBRUARY,
1839, it effected
A BONA FIDE AND CLEAR PROFIT OF UPWARDS OF
FIVE THOUSAND POUNDS.
This is no supposititious statement ; it is an incontrovertible fact,
and therefore requires no comment. The progress since that period
has been highly gratifying, and the time has at length arrived when
Mr. Harper begins to feel the cheering effect of his unflinching
vigour and determined attitude of defiance ; meeting and destroying
most effectually all opposition by the very substantial and profit-
able proof of an
IMMENSE IMPROVING REVENUE.
Independent of the profit before mentioned, there is an improved
and singularly perfect
APPARATUS FOR HEATING GREEN-HOUSES, &c.,
from which alone a considerable income, either by manufacture or
by granting licenses, may be effected. This improvement is quite
new, and scarcely known to the public, and
THE PATENT FOlt BOTH IS ENJOYED EXCLUSIVELY
FOR ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND UNDER
SEPARATE PATENTS.
'Vie shipments to all parts of the globe may be accounted a great
auxiliary.
In conclusion, Mr. Robins begs to observe that every information
will be afforded by Mr. Harper on the Premises,
No. 58, KING WILLIAM.STREET, LONDON BRIDGE,
where everything connected with the Patent may be investigated.
A Green-house Apparatus in full work may be inspected at the
Rooms, in Covent. garden, daily, together with Specimens of each
particular kind of Stove at present manufactured; an independent
and large Income may also be derived from
THE PATENT FUEL ALONE.
' Particulars will be ready twenty-one days prior to the Sale, and
may be had at 58, King William-street ; the Jerusalem Coffee.
house, Cornhill; the Mart; and at Mr. George Robins's Offices,
Covent-garden ; where also an elaborate and lucid statement of
accounts for fifteen months may be inspected.
