TESTIMONIALS FROM SIR JAMES ANDERSON
ON E. SOLOMON'S PATENT SPECTACLES.—" The spectacle
lenses of Mr. C. Solomoris, 36, Old Bond-street, appear to
me to possess considerable advantages over those formerly in
se.—displayvd in their peculiar power of softening the inten-
sity of light in its transmission through them to the organs of
vision, and in other respects promising to afford preservation
and relief to defective sight. So satisfied am lof their supe-
riority, that I use them myself."—James E. Anderson, 11,

in the of the adjoining prison, by which three convicts,
who were to be sent uff that day to the hulks, had effected

ten feet in length, beciore they reached the inside of the wall.
