L A MPS.—THE PATENT CANDLE LAMY'S have obtained for
themselves a deserved and unrivalled superiority, and reasonaNly so.
Oil Lamps are most offensive to the smell, and the ephemeral Carn-
phlne emits such smut and unwholesome effluvia as to injure health
and ruin dresses, &c., whilst the Caudle 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
is. to 265. ; the mid size, from 12s. to 355. ; and the magnum, from
Ms. to five guineas. Candles for the above at the lowest price in the
trade.
