"Dear Sirs,—l have tried all the lead pencils you forwarded to me,
and consider them the best I have ever had; indeed, it is impossible
tetly to compare them with any others, as they possess qualities I
ti_ever yet found in pencils, =snot which I may name their beau-
tiful transparency and clearness. I have not only made use of them
myself, but have had them tried by several students in this instil.-
Son, and their exoellence is acknowledged by my pupils. The double

I And them excellent in all respects, with entire freedom from
