OF USEFUL KNOWLEDGE."

Mr. LEWIS, the SOLE INVENTOR of the NEW
PROCESS of WRITING, engages to transform any scrawl,
however bad, into a free and beautiful style (by a most inte-
resting and permanent operation, in a few days. So great has
been the success of the Lewisian system, and so infallible are
the principles on which it is founded, that if the public will
but secend Mr. L.'s endeavours, by a continuance of their pre-
sent liberal patronage, scarcely a bad hand shall, in a few years,
be found in London.

-- -
Those whose hands have been LEWIS-IZED cannot, by
any possibility, relapse into their former bad habits.
SHORT-HAND, as the Reporters write it. The new
system of ARITHMETIC, by quick and easy mental opera-
tions. The modern method of BOOK-KEEPING, either
by Single or Double-Entry. Bad SPELLING effectually
eerrected. READING, ELOCUTION, and COMPOSI-
TION taught on the most elegant and approved principles.

JOYCE'S PATENT HEATING APPARATUS, HELD EX.
CLUSIVELY FOR ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND; WITH
AN IMPROVED AND VERY VALUABLE PATENT
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 YEAR, 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 bis 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 GREENHOUSES,
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 FOR BOTH IS ENJOYED EXCLUSIVELY
FOR ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND UNDER
SEPARATE PATENTS.
The 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.

spacious conservatories of elegant design, and formed upon the best
principle. Around this envied abode are the luxuriant Shrubberies
and Plantation walks, which form a
CIRCLE ROUND THE LITTLE PARK,
where the majestic timber of ancient growth, gives to it a prepon-
derating influence which it would be in vain to look for elsewhere.
THE GARDENS ARE EXTENSIVE, AND PROLIFIC
beyond measure.

THE HOT AND SUCCESSION HOUSES, 2.10 FEET LONG,
render any auxiliary aid from Covent Garden quite superfluous.
The Grounds arc so admirably disposed that
REPTON WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD
to claim them as his offspring ; indeed he might have gathered a
wrinkleor two without difficulty. The ornamental:water, and the
timber materially aid

THIS LITTLE SCENE OF ENCHANTMENT.
The offices within and without the mansion are hilly corn.

THE ADVOWSON AND PRESENTATION

To those who may have been sceptical about the title, it will be

or the consequential influence thereunto belonging.
Particulars will be shortly ready at Messrs. Roy, Blunt, Duncan,
