and general Out-door Da y and Night Perspective Glasses,
very small, for the waistcoat pocket, each containing 12 and
18 lenses, constructed of German glass. Will show dis-
tinctly a person to know them at two-and-a-half and three
miles, and an object from eight to ten miles distant. Her
Majesty's Coast Guards are making use of them as day and
night glasses in preference to all others ; they are also
b
pre-
ferred for deer-stalking y
sportsmen, gentlemen, and
by which a per-
gamekeepers. Telescopes 34- inches long,
son may be clearly seen n and known at 3t miles' and an
object at 12 to 14 distance; and with an extra astro-
nomical eye-piece, Jupiter's moons, Saturn's rings, and
the double stars are distinctly
.seen. All the above can be
f larger and all sizes, with increasing powers, and
hadare esecured by her Majestes Royal Letters Patent.
The Royal Exhibition, 1801. A valuable, newly-
inventetl, very small, powerful Waistcoat-pocket Glass,
the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen
and known one and a half mile distant. They answer
every purpose on tlu, Race-course and at the Opera-
houses. Country scenery and ships are clearly seen
at four to six miles. They are invaluable for shooting,
deer-stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, game-
keepers, and tourists. Price 30s.—Spectacle Lenses of the
greatest transparent power. The great advantage derived
from this invention is, that vision becoming impaired is
preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons are
enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occupation
—can see with those lenses of a much less magnifying
power, and they do not require the frequent changes to the
dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Persons
can be suited at the most remote part of the world by send-
ing one of the glasses out of their spectacles in a letter, and
stating the distance from the eyes they can read small print
with it, and those who have not made use of spectacles by
stating theirage. Deafness.—New Discovery.—The Organic
Vibrator, an extraordinarily powerful small newly-invented
instrument for Deafness, entirely different from all others,
surpasses anything of the kind that has been, or probably
ever can be, produced. Being of the same colour as the
skin, is not perceptible. It enables deaf persons to hear
distinctly at church and at public assemblies; the unplea-
sant sensation of singing noises in the ears is entirely re-.
moved, and it affords all the assistance that possibly could
be desired.-39. Albemarle street, Piectu WY. Observe—
