Critical Opinions u poll. the preceding Volumes.
" his-work excites much. curiosity because'it professedly
; of living 'C haraders, and we infer that ifs information
is impartial and correct. It is but justice' to own that we
have been altogether amused by the publication."—British
Critic.
. •
" A. spirit of candour and moderation 'evidently pervades
the present publication. Sornesof the charaCters are drawn
with great discrimination, and display an acuteness of powers,
and a felicity of expression, not to be found in the fleeting
productions of the day. In short, the work abounds in moral
and critical observations that evince correctness of jndgment,
and delicacy of taste."—London Review.
" This Work discovers respectable traits,of discrifnination,'
-and kas the merit of being uncontaminated by the virulen
of party spirit."—Critical ; ReView. • •
"The memoirs contained in these Volumes are full and
accurate in point of infoiniatiop ;,judicious, in their literary
and critical stridures: and exhibit well drawn and appro-
priate,charaCters of their respedive subjects. They are not
written under, the uniform influence of any particular theo-
logical or political bias."—New Annual Register.
" This Work proceeds according to its first design, and it
seems to improve as it advances with time. The volumes
contain a considerable number of memoirs of persons, our
contemporaries, who figure in the moral, the political, and
the scientific walks of society. The discussion of living cha-
raaers is a difficult and delicate task, but in the execution of
it, the Authors of Work have acquitted themselves with
as much 'success as can reasonably be expelled."—Monthly.
Review.

MAGNETIC CREAM.
THE whole assemblage of the Features, their
force and power, depend so much upon the fairness
of the skin, that it becomes like the ground-work of a beau-
tiful pidure—the languishing eyes, the delicate nose, the
bewitching mouth, the sweetly dimpled chin, all owe in a
great measure, their power of captivation to the fairness of
the Complexion—to produce.a something to effect this, is not
beneath the considerat►on of inventive genius ; and that it is
done, can best be testified by. those 'Ladies of- Rank and Fa-
shion who have been pre-eminent fpr enslaving the heart of
man. That it should be innocent, was the first care of the
Inventor of thiS valuable Preparation; that it should pro--
duce that animated fairness peculiar to Nature,
.was his se-
cond ; and lastly, that it should not be discernable to the
most observing-eye. The MAGNETIC CREAM compre-
hends in it all those desirable requisites, and'will, when
generallY known, stand unrivalled as the hand:.maid of Na-
ture.
The management of its sale is committed to a Lady of
respedability and honour, and may be-had at this time in
very great perfe&ion, only at No. la, BrownloW-street, Hol-
born ; and at Mr. Petters, No. to, Bath-street, Bath, in
Bottles at los. 6d. each.
N.B. Ladies residing in the Country, on iitclosing a One
Potind Note, will have two bottles sent them, safely packed
in a box, for which no extra charge will be made,

PATENT SAFEGUARD SPLINTER BAR, for instan-

taneously disengaging Horses trim Carriages.
ALEITH and Co. beg leave to assure the
• Public, that they. entertain the deepest sense of gra-
titude, for the very liberal patronage they have al4ady expe=
rienced in the .sale of Williams's Safeguard• Splinter Bar, and
that -it shall be their particular study tomertt a continuance
of the same favour.

From-the multiplied testimonies of general Approbation,'
with which they are daily furnished, they may now confi-
dentlyassert, that the advantages which they attributed to
this important Invention when first announced, have been
uniformly realized.
They have had the satisfaction of receiving Carnmunica.
tions from several Gentlemen, acknowledging, that to this
Apparatus alone, have they owed their safety in situations,
which, from the horses taking fright, falling, or b.:.coming
restive, must, in Carriages fitted only with the common
Splinter Bat, have exposed them to the most imminent
danger. 4 -
The simplicity of its a6liOn, and the immediate precision
of its eflt-a cannot be surpassed;, while it is at the same time
apparent, that the -Horees• are as securely attached to the
Carriage, until the moment of voluntary disengagement, as
when put to in the usual mode.
Models may be seen, at any hour of the day, and every re-
quisite explanation-obtained, by applying to Messrs. Leith
and Co. •at their .111anufaaories, Nos. 2,4, and tog, Shce.
lane, Fleet-street.
