CORNHILL.
The NICOLL.—This is the Trade Mark and distinctive Title
given to a Patented OUTER COAT, or PALETOT, in which there
is a double use and purpose ; in other words, the same garment can
be used as a warm Winter Outer Coat, and again converted into a
light Walking Paletot, by simply removing a warm interlining,
Which is attached or detached easily, and in a manner most novel
and ingenious.
The NICOLL, or the Two Garments (above-mentioned) incor-
porated in One, is charged at the moderate price of Three Guineas.
Indeed, if the contemplated Sale of Thousands be not effected, the
Patentees will lose rather than be fairly remunerated by the low
Prices new quoted.
Messrs. NICOLL are the Originators and Sole Proprietors of the
deservedly well-known REGISTERED PALETOT (6 and 7 Vic.
Cap. 65) of Llama Cloth, and they continue to be honoured with the
Patronage of their Royal Highnesses Prince Albert, Prince George of
Cambridge, Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, his Grace the Duke of
'Wellington, and all others distinguished in rank and fashion, the
Court. the Pulpit, and the Bar.
MEMBERS of the CLERICAL, LEGAL, LITERARY, and
MEDICAL PROFESSIONS will, it is presumed, readily concede
their patronage upon this New and Patented Invention, as also
Merchants and Railway Traveller:, who arc subject to colds, &c.,
arising Irons the fluctuations in a climate like that of Great Britain,
'here, even in the most settled weather, at this season, a warm coat
Is universally used during mornings and evenings, but at mid-day,
from
the active habits and avocations of all classes, a light Walking
Paletot is indispensable.
RAILWAY TRAVELLERS will find great convenience in its

Protector, which effectually preserves from loss the railway
jeket, loose cash, &c., besides a peculiar comfort for Night Travel-
ling, which must be seen and worn to be appreciated.
The Country Agents for the New Patents are the same highly re-
spectable firms who have of late years held the appointments direct
from the Patentees in London.
CAUTION.—The NICOLL —Any person or persons using the
!ante, or a similar title, or trade mark, whereby the Public may be
deceived, will be proceeded against, as by injunction of the High

L 0 V E is the leading feeling of the human
breast. More exalted than mere passion, it sears high above
tverY other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice,
