We are not surprised to learn that a stronger interest
than is usually conferred on a fashionable novel has been ex-
cited in the reading world by Mrs. Gore's new work of
" Peers and Parvenus." The question of the position occu-
pied in English society by men of letters is boldly but fairly
discussed in its pages, forming an agreeable relief to the
sprightlier sallies connected with the whims and follies of the
gay world with which the works of this popular writer ever
abounds.
To Gentlemen who shave themselves the following
query is proposed.—Why do all the first cutlers of 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 sad
smooth edge. Manufactory, 25, Strand,
