BROCKEDON'S PATENT PURE PLUM-
BAGO for ARTISTS, and ENGINEERS' BLACK LEAD
PENCILS.
The perfection to which this article is now brought, in Colour, firm-
ness, entire Purity from Grit, awl ready Erasure, is fully shown in the
accompanying Testimonials from Painters and Engravers, Archi-
tects, Engineers, and other- Draughtsmen, who are at once the most
competent judges, and men of the greatest eminence in their several
professions. Nothing is required to be added to this mass of evi-
dense, but to point out to Pencil Manufacturers the peculiar advan-
tages presented by the form of the blocks of this Patent Plumbago,
for 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 as
are known by the centre letters stamped on the blocks. These
blocks being already tempered ibr such 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
blocks are thus ready for immediate 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 two inches and a
quarter square, and about one inch thick, enables the maker to have
but one joint in each penal'.

Commission, &e. '

My dear Brockedon,—l have tried all the pencils which you have
sent me. I think I may safely say that I have never used any that
work so well. Though perfectly free from grit, the substance is
compact; and the varieties of hardness and tint are as abundan' as
any artist can wish. A perfect lead pencil may be said. to be at last
produced

My Dear Sir,—l 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 a supply of them for my own use; and I canuot but think
them a valuable acquisition not only to artists, but to every one re-
quiring the use of pencils, With mazy thanks Mr them, I remain,

- My dear Sir,—Pray forgive me for not 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 new done, and can report with confi-
dence upon the pencils ; nor do I think there is anything wanting to
their excellence. The chief beauty of them lies in the evenness of
quality in the 'ead and absence of gritty particles. They are, in
deed, moat pleasant to draw with, and yield freely to that little
accent in touch which the artist delights in. I have tried them in
simpleline 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,

Nfy, dear Sir—My opinion respecting your. Patent riumbago
amounts to this ; that by much ingenuity you have overcome nume-
rous difficulties, in the way of compressing comminuted plumbago
into a solid mass of an extraordinary, homogeneous, and uniform
character ; that the fracture and texture of that which you have so
consolidated so closely resembles the finest native specimens as to
render it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish be-
tween your artificial product and that of the finest quality obtained
from the mites; that the pencils from your manufacture are, as far
as nay judgment enables me 'to determine, equal to those made of
the best Berrodale ',lumbago ; and, lastly, that you have succeeded
in giving to them those different degrees of hardness which are, re-
quired by the artist, without rendering them brittle on the one hand,
or puiverulent on the other.—yonrs always, very sincerely,

My dear Sir,—l beg your pardon for having so long delayed to
express my opinion of your patent lead 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-
eerning this Observatory to the British Association.
I may conscientiously say that Inover used a pencil—l speak of
the HH 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., blackness. -
13efore.I had tried them all, Baron de Walterbausen and Professor
Kriel, of Prague, :came here, and were so enamoured of them that

Extract from " Ele:nents of Art," by J. D. Harding, Eeq., p. 94.
- Third Edition.
•
"Recently the quality of lead pencils, both for purposes of art and
for general use, has been greatly imprOved,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. By Mr. Brockedou's
invention we obtain the pure black lead in all its lustre and depth of
colour, without a p article of grit, and of any degree of hardness or
softness ; and the markings from are all easily effaced. So great is
the improvementin all respects, even over the pure plumbago in its
native state, thati t may truly be said that until now a perfect lead
pencil has been unknown. Lead pencils from Mr. Brockedon's
Pure Plumbago are now manufactured by Messrs. Mordon and Co.';:
and by Messrs. Winair andliewton."
Extract from an Address delivered at the Anniversary Meeting of
the Geological Society of London, 1546, by Leonard Homer,'
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 read before us last year,
by which he converts, under very powerful pressure, the powder of
graphite into a solid tnass having a conchoidal fracture, and undistin-'-
guishable from the most compact utilise black lead, shows that pres-
sure alone may convert fine detrital matter into solid stone.

THE NEW BISETOpS.— at their recent
ussell
meeting, accepted Lord John R's proposal to have four
new Bishops created, without seats in Parliament, but to
succeed to seats as vacancies occur, and the four junior
Bishops to be always without seats. The Bishops accepted
this in preference to a new Bishop of Manchest,r with a seat.
Thus the number of spiritual Peers will not be increased.—

BARQUE WIWEIMER, CURED OF A DREADFUL SCORBUTIe COMPLAINT
By IfoLtOwAr's OINTMENT AND PILLS.—In this astonishing case,
e,
the whole of the body and legs were covered with itps nearly the
h size of Tonquin beans, and had been so forlast three years..
Surprising to relate, this terrible disease oompletely disappeared from
t e system in the course of a month, by having large quantities of the
Ointment well ru.bed in every night and morning, and taking the
Pills in copious doses. This cure Is known to many respectable
people, as the vessel was discharging her cargo in the Thames only
about a fortnight since.—Sold by all druggists, and at Professor ilOl-
