The Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS disclaim all con-
nexion with persons of the same name, and the sale of am-
ber spectacles ; the pernicious use of amber spectacles
being now well kst swn to the public, and the vendor being
the word Amber," and calling them " Patent Spectacles."
Those which he terms ~ patent Spectacles" are no other than
those of amber ; the history and destructive use of that mate-
rial for Spectacles to imperfect vision is fully and most satis-
factorily explained by the undermentioned scientific authority:
From the " Dictionailof Arts and Sciences" of Andrew Ure,
AI.
~ F. R, S., &c., &c.
" Amber is an indurated vegetable juice, and not
produced
by the laws of crystallisation, but by the same causes which
influence the mechanical condition of gum. Insects are often
found embedded in it. Amber is most powerfully electrical
by friction—very hot, to such an extent as to explode into frag-
ments ; the workmen, too, are subject to nervous tremors in
their wrists, arms, 8:c• ; they encounter great dangerby handling
such dreadful excited clectrics ; amber grows with lime, and is
apt to take fire, and is of such a soft nature when exposed to
warmth, that it swells, bubbles up, and will burn away with
flame."
The above Dr. Ure's statements are further confirmed by Sir
D. Brewster and Pliny, as also by Parks and Herns, on Che-
snistry. The destructive effects of such a material fors pecta-
cles, to imperfect vision, may be ascertained at any respectable
Optician's in London.
The Messrs. Solomons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses are
not constructed of such a material ; but which are very supe-
rior, and bring I)4a' at (axe dimness of sight and imperfect
vision to its original and natural state. These Spectacles, and
very small Voice Corducters for deaf persons, are opl) to be
had at their establishmeutsr 39,•Albemarle-street, and 76, King
