JOHN SANDERSON, Esq., in the Chair,
The follow mg Resolutions were passed unanimously :
1" That th.e introduction of Opium into China by British
merchants, in violation of the laws of that empire, and its
growth in tiritish India for this avowed and express purpose,
51 discreditable to this country, and injurious to the character
of Christianity, presenting one of the greatest barriers to its
Proßross among a large proportion of the heathen nations of
the Fast.
2. That, whilst on these grounds chiefly, the Opium Traffic
is Woe deprecated, it is at the same time highly prejudicial in
ca.nmereial point of view ; not only interfering with the
legitimate trade between this country and China, but endan-
Itte.ng its very existence,—a trade producing a large revenue to
Gs eat Britain, and furnishing a most important outlet for its
tannufactures.
„3. That a Society be now farmed, for the discouragement of
the growth of Opium within the British dominions for this
inobtjoecetihoinnaab.le. purpose, and to prevent its illegal introduction

Prot. "Pi• S. and B. SOLOMONS, Opticians and Auri,ts, during a

~8t be observable by many thousands of individuals thus circum-
•pi;',!ell—tvhich is deserving the Public's most serious attention. artee..lessrs. Solomons, with a vim' to remedy such an affrction, and
after they have devoted their whole lives to this mterestm„ branch
::eee. science have succeeded in effecting for Imperfect Vision, a most
"ifte i'mprovernent in a Transparency for Spectacles, and a Pre. Otive and Cure for Delthess ; they hare invented an Operative
oConductor, upon a very small construction, not percer tilde ; it
-41rea no hulding, and the individual immediately becomes one of
.._e.liarty in the general conversation. By these important disco_
u'ef ties not only is defective Vision brought to nature, but the sense
r leartnit 's restored to its original acuteness ; those lenses are so
emstructed and adapted to weak and imperfect eyesight, upon such
_scientific
. principles, combined with the long extensive experience of
the Messrs. Sohn/ions, that they will be found to effect an
eiektent of relief which will far exceed their utmost and most san-
ne expectations. On placing those lenses before imperfect Vision,
either by day or candle high', every object becomes clear and dis-
tinct, and the most minute particle seen with exact distinctness.
The Messrs. Solemons have in their possession, WITIIOUT ONE
EXCEPTION, Spectacles and Ear Instruments of every kind, which
Ore offered to the Public by other individuals, to print out the su-
periority of their improvements over all others. The patronage of
Nobility and Gentry, and recommendationsof the principal Oculists,
PhVsicians, and Surgeons in London, and through Great Britain, as
wells, on the Continent, would be too numerous: for insertion.
The Messrs. Solomons are anxious that the public sliou'd not con
found them with penons of the same name, it beine admitted by
professional gentlemen of the highest character, and may be ob..
served by any individual, that their newly-invented Spectacles and
