INGLISTON; A TALE.
By GRACE WEBSTER.
" Ingliston' is a remarkably well-written tale, of the best
of all descriptions of novel—the domestic. The humour and
the pathos of the tale are both excellent."—Scotsman.
" Ingliston' is a very agreeable tale; and, what is better,
it is a story that cannot be read without improving the heart
as well as pleasing the imagination. The pulpit or the ser-
mon• book never taught a purer moral lesson than does the
simple and affecting history of Margaret Inglis."—Edinburgh
Advertiser.

" ' Ingliston' is a Doric tale of the West, drawn to the life
as by the pencil of Hogarth."—Scottish Pilot.
We recommend Inglistou' as beings well-written Scot-
tish tale, and as instructive as it is amusing, from the sound re-
ligious views of the author."—Edinburgh Observer.

SIGHT AND HEARING.
3:1 A LBEMARLE.,TREET
THE INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE
CONDUCTOR, effected by the Messrs. S. and B.
SOLOAIONS, OPTICIANS and AURISTS to the ROYAL FA.
MILY, 39, ALEENIARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY, by which
thousands of deaf persons have been greatly benefited, is the size of a
seven.shilling piece, and when fixed into the cavity of the ear is soft
and easy, and not more perceptible than having a piece of wool in its
place, by which the faintest whisper at a public assembly is heard
with distinctness. And defective VISION is brought to nature by
the use of newly-invented SPECTACLE LENSES: immediately
they are placedli efore weak and imperfect eyesight, either by day
or candle light, every object becomes clear and distinct, and the most
minute particle is seen with great distinctness, by the use of which
both the sight and hearing become much improved.
The Messrs. S. and B. SOLO MONS disclaim all connection with per.
FOPS of the same name, and the Sale of Amber Spectacles: the per.
Melons use of Amber Spectacles bein g now well known to the public,
and the Vendor being aware of it, he has therefore altered their
name, by leaving out the word " Amber," and calling them " Pa-
tent Spectacles '• those which he terms " ratent Spectacles " are no
other than these of Amber, the history and destructive use of that
material for Spectacles to imperfect vision is fully and most satisfac.
torily explained by the undermentioned scientific authori, s:—

From the " Dictionary of Arts and Sciences" of Andrew Ure, M.D.

F.R.S., &c. &c.

" Amber is an induratect vegetable juice, and not produced by the
laws of crystallization, 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 fragments ; the workmen, too, are
subject to nervous tretnours in their wrists, arms, &c. ; they en-
counter great danger by handling such dreadful excited electries ;
Amber grows with lime, and is apt to take tire, and is of such a
soft nature when exposed to warmth that it swells, bubbles up, and
will burn away with flame."

The above br. Ure's statements are further confirmed by Sir D.
BREWSTER and Pliny, as also by Parks and Hern on Chemistry,
The destruct►ve effects of such a material for Spectacles, 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 superior, and
bring back at once dimness of sight and imperfect vision to its
original and natural state; these Spectacles, and very small Voice
Conductors for Deaf persons, are only to be had at their Establish-
ment, 39, Albemarle-street.
Not to be had at any other house.
