ing nine Pens, 3s. 6d. The Perryian Pens, denominated
" Perfectionated Soft," will excite the astonishment of all
fine writers. The manufacture of every kind of the
Perryian Pens has, of late, been infinitely improved. As

able persons are invited to step in and try them, at any of
the regular Agents for the Pens of whom, besides the
Stationers and Booksellers, there is one or more in almost
every Town in England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland.

which the Perryian Pen affords the man of business or of
literature, in common with the finest writer, that there
can he little doubt that it will he shortly used to the ex-
clusion of all other pens."—Morning Chronicle.
" We can with confidence recommend our readers to
use Perry's Patent Pens, having tried them ourselves for
some time—and we can assure our friends that a single
trial will acquaint them with what may be termed the
luxury of a good pen."—Conrier.
" The Perryiai Pens are every day gaining in public
favour, as the sentiments of the London and Provincial
press sufficiently evince."—Bristol .1 urnal.
" The comparative merits of the Perryian Pens have
now been most fully and satisfactorily ascertained ; .and
lave become the subject of remark in every quarter where
they have been introduced. The Globe paper, some weeks
sin, e, had an article highly recommendatory of then,
which we copied into our columns of the 7th ult."—Ply-

FREDERICK THIERSCH. Translated from
the German, with Brief Remarks.
By Professor SANDFORD.
" We feel ourselves amply justified in recommending
the present work, as one better calculated than any with
which we are acquainted, to convey an accurate know-
ledge of t 1 e Greek language in all its forms; to prove of
equal advantage to the public instructor, and the private
student ; and, finally, if studied with care, to increase the
number of those, hitherto supposed to be few, who under-
stand Homer."—Edinburgh Review, No. CI,V. Jan. 1831.
