them sterling gold and stamped. Parties at any distance, by cutting
the circle of their finger on a piece of card, and enclosing it with a
Post-office order, will have them sent by return of post.
This is an agreeable and pleasant mode of purchasing these arti-
cles, and saves a personal application.
A Gold Chain for either Lady or Gentleman, weighing half an
ounce, 40s. ; an ounce, 80s.
L AMPS.—THE PATENT CANDLE LAMPS have obtained for
themselves a deserved and unrivalled superiority, and reasonably so.
Oil Lamps are most offensive to the smell, and the ephemeral Cam-
phtne emits such smut and unwholesome effluvia as to injure health
and rain dresses, &c., whilst the Candle Lamp is inodorous and pure.
CHARLES WATSON invites the public to an inspection of the
above, in every variety, commencing with the Queen's Lamp, from
2s. to 265. ; the mid size, from 12s. to 355. ; and the magnum, from
355. to five guineas. Candles for the above at the lowest price in the
trade.
