PENNA DUPLEX.

RY, His Majesty's Royal Letters Patent, the
.1.,/ newly invented Machine for WRITING with TWO
'PENS, producing at the same instant TWO ORIGINALS,
according to the common mode or Writing, is Aired to the
Commercial, Political, Legal and Literary World, as well-as
to all Persons desirous of preserving antheric records of their.
Correspcindence; Statements, Compositions, &c. &c. &c.,
. This invention, which is reduced to a, praetiee both
easy and free from every
sdefect, has been sanctioned by
the 'patronage of some of the moat distinguished ,Charac-
ters- the' Kingdom, and of several Foreign Ambassadors.
Many Persons, who had been obliged to have recourse to
the Copying, or rather Pressing Machine, have experienced
the most corvine& satisfa6lion in thn, use of the DOUBLE
WRITER. The trouble and: inconvenience attending the
former are totally superseded by the latter, which is so
justly formed, that there can be no mistake in its use, and
construe-led. on • such mechanical, exactness and solidity, at
topreclwl• the liec6ssity of all repair.
By this machine, Millie merits of -which alone, the Pa-
tenten rests his pretensions to general encouragement, the
Merchant and Trader, those concerned in the various depart--
rents of the Public Service, Gentlemen of almost every
description in the Law, and all persons engaged in an exten-
siveand imnbrtafit correspondence, will be enabled, not only
to save great trottble and expense, but also to avoid the-pos-
sibility of incorredness, to which the best toivists are too
frequently liable.
The DOUBLE WRITER will be. found peculiarly use-
ful in copying ••Drawines, and to Gentlemen who travel .it
must be snore valuable in point of accuracy and secrecy, than
the inestable and confidential -Amanuensis. The execution
of:the Machine is so exactly minute as to render it impossible
to discover the slightest dillerenee inn hair stroke, ur in the
marks of punctuation. • The space occupied by thellachine
is- very rritling,• as it is contained in h snmaH. sized portable
Writing Desk:
•Manufattured and sold only by J. H. Farthing, No. 43,
ternhill, London, Pocket-honk maker, and Portable Writin^-
desk Manufaiturer, Wholesale and fur Exportation.

The Author is exceedingly sorry, that in such Copies of
the Lyrical Ballads as have been hitherto circulated, owing
to a mistake of the Printer, there is an omission of many
lines in the last Poem of the Second Volume, which is
thereby made unintelligible. He takes this opportunity
of informing such persons as may have already purchased
the'Work, that, if they think it worth while; by applying
to 'the Publisher, they may be furnished with the omitted
passage, which is so printed, that it may be bound up
without disfiguring the Volume; The "Author hopes,
that his not having been able to see the Volumes till to-
day, will be accepted as an excuse for this error having not
been correded before.

It commenced with Quadrupeds, which are now com-

the remaining branches.
It is scarcely necessary to observe, that in this publica-
tion particular attention has been paid to the lately-disco-
vered Animals from New Holland, Which, from their highly
singular confoimation, form so interesting a part of Natu-
ral History. 11-
