rri HE NICOLL : this is an abbreviation of the
title given to a Patented Outer Coat, called " The Nieoll's
Chlamys Paletot," the said curtailment being first suggested in the
daily correspondence of the several Agents appoitited under the above
patent, and It will no doubt be generally adopted in preference to the
name in full, through being more convenient to use.
It is perhaps unnecessary to observe, that although the original
title may thus be cut down, the Patentees will not hesitate duly to
forward, upon application to their Ware-rooms, 114, 116, 120, Re-
gent-street, or 22, Cornhill, the useful and elegant garments in ques-
tion, though a very blue or even a rather green Nicoll be desired.

and 9.

THERE is a double use and purpose in the
NICOLL, or PATENT CHLAMTS PA LETOT, in other
words, the same garment can he used as a warm winter Overcoat,
and will look equally well as a light Paletot (usued In walking, &c.),
indeed, for the latter purpose it represents the popular and
fashionable Registered Paletot, which, when it is desirable to form
into a warm winter garment, the same is transformed into the
Nicholl, by the simple addition of a wadded interlining, which Is in-
corporated with the lighter Coat in a most perfect and original
manner; this can be attached or detached without the least trouble
to the wearer.

WILL OPEN THIS EVENING, AND CONTINUE EVERY

MEMBERS of the CLERICAL, LEGAL, and
MEDICAL PROFESSIONS, it is presumed, will all
readily concede their patronage to the new patented Invention called
THE NICOLL, inasmuch that, besides its soberness of colour (a
black, or almost invisible green, or dark blue), and unpretending
appearance, it is the only garment extant which presents to gentle-
men thus engaged a proper defence against the ills arising from a
variable climate (the origin of colds, &c.) To these it is said profes-
sional men are more susceptible than others, arising from close
study, and their otherwise general sedentary habits ; now should the
morning atmosphere be mild or warm, and the latter part of the day
cold, the Nicoll is a garment that will provide for both contingencies.
How this is effected is more fully described, with the prices, in one of
the accompanying advertisements.

inducing a proper circulation of blood, the possession of a lighter
