THE NOVELTY most recently introduced by
Y.SSRS. NICOLL is called NICOLL'S PATENT EIDER
DOWN PALETOT, such novelty consisting in the adaptation of
Eider DOWR in the formation of NICOLL'S PALETOT, the original
elegance and utility of which is, however, faithfully preserved.
Eiders are found in great numbers in Iceland and the Eery
Islands, where their beautiful and delicate down is well known to be
proof against the most severe cold, and even the small quantity
which can be compressed and concealed between the two hands, wil,
serve in the formation of a Paletat, which, while it has most extra.
ordinary lightness, has, nevertheless, more warmth than the fines,
and thicke it blanket, the great desideratum for a whiter garment
being thus accomplished, namely, personal warmth without fatigue.
Public inspection is invited at MESSRS. NICOLL'S wholesale and
retail warerooms,

114, 116, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL,

London.

CHRISTMAS.—One of the new patented inven-
tions called NICOLL'S EIDER DOWN PALETOT will
doubtless form a most acceptable gift at the approaching season of
festivity, when it is somewhat difficult to se'ect the best token of
friendship or affection. The lightness and warmth of this garment
will render it kighly serviceable for covering an evening costume
Without causing the least disarrangement a and from the peculiarity
of the formation of the whole it precludes the necessity for any mea-
surement being taken, as merely some slight description ef height or
appearance will suffice to enable the patentees to supply an EIDER
DOWN PALETOT, at the cost ef SIX GUINEAS, and which may
fairly be described as one of the best preservatives of health ever yet
introduced to the public. ,

Many have assumed the use of the word PALETOT, but Messrs.
NICOLL are the solo Patentees of the design and material.

The NICOLL is the distinguishing name given to a garment
secured by Royal Letters Patent from general imitation. It has all
the advantages of Messrs. NICOLL'S original invention, the RE-
GISTERED PALETOT of LLAMA CLOTH. The NICOLL PA-
LETOTS are charged One, Two, Three, and Three-and a-half
Guineas, according with the climate or purpose for which they may
be required,
