the Royal patronage should be. To insure its accuracy, the whole is
kept constantly in type, so tkat every change which occurs through-
out the year Is recorded in its proper place, every line being alio

Peerage is, of coarse, and must be, the acknowledged authority.—

" It is gratifying that the country should possess so splendid a

graphy. correct in detail, and elegant in binding ; in fact, it is in all
respects a royal bock, as the only work of its kind ever dignified by
the Royal patronage should be. To insure its accuracy, the whole is
kept constantly in type, so tkat every change which occurs through-
out the year Is recorded in its proper place, every line being, also
submitt dto the revision of the noble families it describes. For all
the purposes of information, therefore, on such subjects, Mr. Lodge's
Peerage is, of coerce, and must be, the acknowledged authority.—

A NEW DISCOVERY,

MR. HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet-
street, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIP-
TION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs. wires, or
ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not abe
distinguished from the originals by toe closest observer; they will
never change colour or decay, and will be :ound very superior to any
teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction
of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve
teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and
mastication.

Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastication
