The perfeetion to which this article is new brought, in Colour, firm.

is en of the greatest
to
donee, but to point out to Pencil Manufacturers the peculiar advan-
tagesbe
ded to mass
presented by the form of the blocks of this; Patent Plumbago,
Mr ready application and the avoidance of waste.
Each of the blocks weighs about seven ounces, and they are to be
used by the pencil-makers for such different qualities of pencils 1111
are known by the centre letters stamped on the blocks. These
blocks being already tempered for inch degrees of hardness and
colour as the letters indicate, cannot be made harder, or treated In
any way to make them harder, without injury to their quality. The
blockitere thus ready for inunecilate use, of all degrees of colour and
hardness, and possess great advantages, in the uniform quality in
the letter, and in the size of the block, which. being twe inches and a
quarter square, and about one inch thick, enables the maker to have
but one joint in each pencil.

work so well. Though perfectly free from grit, the substance is
eompact;and.the varieties of hardness and tint are as almndan• as

they also work smoothly and without fear of the lines drawn with
them being checked by grit, or breaking. In every way I consider
them most satisfactory and very superior to any pencils I have ever
used, and shall take every opportunity of making their qualities

the fact that you have perfected a material which will obtain the
grateful acknowledgment's of every artist. Indeed, Ido not hesi-
tate to pronounce the pencils made with your Patent Pare Plumbago
perfect. They are remarkably even in Vat free from grit, or dust,
firm in texture, and possess every degree of colour, from the archi-

My dear Brockedon,---I am so delighted with the blacklead pencils
which yon sent to me for trial, that I shall feel obliged by your let-
ting me know, without delay, where I can get a few more of them,
particularly the to go on with.
Having tried them on some of the architectural subjects of my
forthcoming work on Egypt and Nubia, and findiag them so superior
to everything of the kind I have hitherto been in the habit of using,
I ant convinced that whoever gives them a trial will immediately
adept them in preference to all others. The best. wish I can offer to
you is, that the inventor may come in for a fair share of the profit
which must arise from their becoming universal.
With my sincere thanks for this discovery, and best wishes for the
success it so justly merits, believe me,
FaltbAuly and truly yours.

knowledgments, in addition to the numerous compliments and
thanks you doubtless have received, for the service you have done
artists in producing such a perfect quality of lead pencil as is shown
in the specimens you were so kind as to give me. My practice is.
confined, and, therefore, I have little occasion in any drawing for the
extreme " herds," or for the double or treble B. But I most grate-
fully acknowledge an excellence In H, HE, and F, which work freely
without grit or scratching, are of good colour, and rub out clean.

My Dear Sir, Many thank. for the case of pencils, which possess
exactly those qualities which have been so long required for archi-
tectural and engineering purposes, and by every artist. Their easy
working without grit from their pure tied equable lead, and unifor-

My Dear Ni',—! feel extremely obliged for the specimen of black-
lead pencils you have sent me, of which the lead is manufactured by
your patent process.
I have tried them, and I have no hesitation In saying that they
are the best pencils I ever used. They have all the degrees of hard-
ness. and every variety and shade of colour, that can be required •by
an artist. The lead is perfectly tree from grit ; and I can point these
pencils much more easily, and when pointed they do not break, as
other pencils generally do.
I am so entirely satisfied with these pencils, that I have pur-
chased si supply of them for my own use; and I cannot but think
them a valuable acquisition not only to artists, but to every one re-
quiring the use of pencils, With many thanks for them, I remain,

My dear Sir,—Pray forgive me for net having acknowledged your
letter earlier. I have delayed writing from time to time that I
might give myself the opportunity of trying fairly your preparation
of plumbago. This I have now done, and can report with confi-
dence upon the penells ; nor do I think there is anything wanting to
their excellence. The chief beauty of them lies in the evenness of
quality in the lead and absence of gritty particles. They are, in
deed, most pleasant to draw with, and yield freely to that little
accent in touch which the artist delights in. I have tried them in
simple line on wood-block, and I have tried them in landscape and
foliage, on several sorts of paper, and each trial has proved them
satisfactorily.—Believe me, dear Sir, yours ever truly,

its virtue till I have fairly tested it by my own experience. Your
pencils came to me at a period when my patience had been fairly
exhausted by things which were getting daily worse, and I set to

are everything I could wish them to be. The softer numbers are

My dear Sii,-Llfy opinion respecting your Patent Plarnbago
amounts to this ; that by much ingenuity you have overcome nume-
rous difficulties, in the way of compressing comminuted plumbago
into a solid masa of an extraordinary, homogeneous, and uniform
character ; that the fracture end texture of that which you have so
consolidated so closely resembles the finest native specimens as to
reader it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish be-
tween your artificial product and that of the flout quality o'utained
from the mines ; that the pencils from your manufacture are, as far
4.1.f10y Judgment enables me to determine, equal' to those made of
the best Berrodale plutnbagn ; and, lastly, that
you have. succeeded
In giving to them those different degrees of hardness which are re-

or puiverulent'en the other.—YoUrs always, very sincerely. -

My dear Sir,—l beg your pardon for yaving se long delayed to
express my opinion of your Patent load in pencils ; but I do not
regret very, much the omission, because it has given me time to test
the specimens fairly whilst making my drawings for the report con-
earning this Observatory to the British Assnejation.
I may consciennonsly say Butt I never used a poucile*l speak of
the Hit at this moment—with more satisfaction. It was smooth;
equally hard throughout, and possessed a quality which the harder
sort of pencils hitherto used are deficient In, viz., blackneso.
Before I had tried them all, Baron de Walterhausen and Professor
Kriel, of Prague, came here, and were so enamoured of them that
they not only took them per force, but almost abused me for not
being able to give them a nearer address than Cheapside or the City-
road, for procuring a stock to take home. I will thank you to put
me in the way of giving better direotions in future.

Extract from "Elf tents of Art," by J. D. Harding, Esq., p. 94,
Third Edition.

" Recently the quality of lead pencils, both for purpesee of art and
for general use, has been greatly improvea,in consequence of the dis-
covery, made by my friend Mr. Brockedon, of the mode of preparing
pure plumbago. For years no fresh lead has been obtained from the
Cumberland mines, and the last having been exhausted long ago,
lead pencils were getting every day worse, and insufferable from grit.
To remedy this, composition pencils have been manufactured ; but
these possess no lustre or depth of colour, and it Is difficult, some-
times impossible, to efface their markings. Br Mr. Brockedon's
Invention we obtain the pdre black lead in all its lustre and depth of
colour, without a particle of grit, and of any degree of hardness or
softness ; and the markings *am are all easily effaced. So great is
the tmprovementin all respects. even over the pure plumbago in its
native state, that t may truly be said that until now a perfect lead
pencil has been unknown. Lead penal from Mr. Brockedon's
Pure Plumbago are now manufactured by Messrs. Morden and Co ,
and by Messrs. Winsor and Newton."
Extract from an Address delivered at the Anniversary Meeting of
the Geological Society of London, 1846, by Leonard Horner,

V.P.R.S., President of the Society.
" Every year has disclosed new facts In confirmation of the theory,
that accumulations of detrital matter were transformed into their pre
sent condition mainly by the action of heat, accompanied by other che-
mical actions, and the powerful agency of steam and elastic forces
under enormous pressure. A very Ingenious process, invented by
Mr. Brokedon, described in a short paper real before us last year,
by which he converts, under very powerful pressure, the powder of
graphite into a solid mass having a concholdal fracture, and undistin-
guishable from the most compact native black lead, shows that pres-
sure alone may convert tine detrital matter into solid stone.

morning able to walk without the slightest inconvenience. I found In
a previous very severe attack very great relief; I had the pains In
my knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought I must

time I had resort to your Pills, and they relieved me—within two
hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to be
