SOCIETY, 71, LEADENHALL-STREET, enrolled agree.
ably to Act of Parliament ; being the Manufacturers in all its
branches.
The system upon which this is conducted precludes the pos-
sibility of competition for cheapness, quality, and durability, as
no house in London can manufacture at their prices. The
Society wishes it to be thoroughly understood that they do not
receive hawked goods for sale, like the baracers and haber-
dashers, but they make every article themselves, which enables
them confidently to warrant their goods of the best materials,
and if any fault appears within twelve months, it will be made
good free of charge. A trial is earnestly solicited of those about
to furnish, as the only criterion by which the merits and de-
cided advantage of purchasing at this establishment can be fairly
estimated.
The funds of this Society provide for the members in sick-
ness, old age, and burial ; they therefore sincerely hope that
their humble endeavours will meet with public patronage.
Estimates given, and orders punctually executed ; and lists
of prices may be had, from which the following is an extract •

NIALS on the Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS' newly

Frora James Blundell, Esq , M.D.:—
" I have now teed for some time the Messrs. Folomons' newly
invented Spectacle Lenses, and have experienced much enefit t• they
are far preferable to my vision than any other Lens ;the relief is
ry great, in particular by candle light, and in course of use for a
length of time the clearness ot the transparency brings every object
very distinct ; they can be fully apprcciated only by those who, like
m 3 self, 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. Solomons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses; the astonishing
rebel they afford to imperfect vision gives them the decided prefer.
mice 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.
Icularly pleas int by candle light, being cooling to the sight, and
,oftening the bright and brilliant lights.
