BUTLEK has observed some of the various Advertisements
opposed to him, the intention of which may be easily disco-
vered ;,and writes in short that, by the permission ot Provi-
dence, he manufadures and sells'as above, (where also may
be had, every Article in the Upholstery Line) his superior
FOUR-POST and TENT I3EDS, with Brass Screws and
various other Brass. Parts ; SOFA 13. E DS, making a hind-'
some Sofa and a comfortable Bed; CHAIR BEDS, which
transform the same way, and each in a.few minutes; DIN-
ING: TABLES on various Constructions, and quite on a new
Plan; PORTABLE CHAIRS; LIBRARY STEPS on a
particular cempad Construction ; and various Improve-
ments in Furniture.

Houses completely furnished ; the Articles of well-season-
ed woods and excellent workmanship. Also, for exportation,
Beds for the East and West Indies ; Cabins titled up for Pas-
sengers, kc: _

BUTLER has construeled several TOols and Machines for
working his Patent Articles, &c. at his IVlanufaaory, as
above, and with much submission; and a true sense of gra—
titude, acknowledges the kind encouragement he has so ge-
nerously received.
In contradition to the false assertions opposed to the
Sale of Bur Lea's Patent Articles, at his Warehouse may be
seen separate Patent Deeds, one for Dining, and other Tables ;
and the other for Brass, and other Screw Bedsteads, which
extend to Sofa Beds, Chair or other Bedsteads, with Screw
Posts or Feet.

(' The inconvenience arising from the:great scarcity of
former Editions of Sir Isaac Newton's Principia, and System
of the World, added to the exorbitant prices charged tor
them when to be met with, determined the Editor to under-
take a New Edition ofthose.Works; and he is impressed with
Confidence that no other apology will be thought necessary,
at a time when Mathematics is become a fashionable Sciene::.
and is looked upon as a necessary acquisition in the Polite
World.
