NOW EXHIBITING, AT THE

EGYPTIAN HALL, PICCADILLY,
F
the most EXTRAORDINARY EXHIBITION of ABORI-
GINES EVER SEEN in EUROPE, landed in Liverpool by the
brig Fanny, Captain Wheeler.
TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN, and a BABY, of the BOSIESMAN
or BUSH TRIBE, from the interior of South Africa, a race that,
from their wild habits, could never before be induced to visit a Place
of civilization. This opportunity of gratifying the man of science
and the student in zoology has only been obtained by great personal
exertion on the part of the gentlemen who have brought them to
England, at an immense outlay of capital. On the passage to Europe
a baby was born at sea, thus adding to the great interest that must
be excited by their appearance.
_

From the Liverpool Journal ; —"Bosjesmans, or Bush People, from
Southern Africa—lnteresting specimens of a most extraordinaryosraee
of human beings have been landed in our port; they are the
mans, or Bush People from the Interior of South Africa, of which so
mach has been written by the missionaries, and the few who have
travelled to that far distant region. They are natives of the country
bordering the Great Orange River, 1,200 or 1,400 miles from Cape
Town. They exhibit almost as striking an absence of the intellectual or
higher faculties as is observable in the skull of that mockery of
humanity, the Baboon, while the preponderance of the animal is al-
most equally as great. In every respect they are ealculated to excite
the greatest astonishment, and to confirm to the full those " Tales
of Travellers" which we have certainly been inclined to look upon
with suspicion. We could scarcely have credited that such a race
could be in existence on the earth. That they are genuine no one
can doubt ; in proof of which we give the following extract from a
Cape Town Paper of the 24th December, which we have just re •
ceived :—" We understand the brig Fanny, Captain Wheeler, which
recently left Table Bay for Liverpool, had on board an unusual kind
of exportation, viz., twe males and two females of the genuine Bush-
man species; they are in charge of a Mr. J. G. R. Bishop, who has
been at considerable trouble and expense in procuring them ftom the
interior. They are authentic specimens of this diminutive and ra-
pidly decreasing tribe of Aborigines, found only in Southern Africa.
For particulars of the habits and disposition of the Bosjesmans,
see Professor Leiehtenstein's, Barchell's, Campbell's, Backhouse's,
Methune's, and Moffatt's Travels in South Africa.

GOLD, SILVER, DIAMONDS, PEARLS, and
all the most precious and costly gems, are imitated to such
perfection, that but very few uninitiated persons can positively tell a
paste brooch or a ring from a diamond, the real pearl from the
imitation, or German Silver from the genuine ; but put them into
the hands of the connoisseur, how soon the delusion vanishes when
he affirms they are but vile and base imitations. So it is with the
most valuable inventions as well as stones and metals. None but
the inimitable in value are imitated in appearance, and as soon as
the consumer (the best connoisseur) attempts to use them, how soon
he finds out their utter uselessness. Thus it is with the most valuable
of all inventions ; the celebrated METALLIC RAZOR TABLET
of GEORGE SAUNDERS has been the target for imitation for
the last thirty years.
To Gentlemen who shave themselves the following query is pro-
posed.—Why do all the first cutlers in Europe use and recommend
Saunders' Four-sided Tablet Razor Strop ? The answer is simply
because it is the only one that gives to a razor a keen and smooth
edge.
