HOUSE OF COMMONS,
By W. C. TOWNSEND, Esq., ILA.

DEDICATEE; BY PERMISSION TO SIR ROBERT PEEL.

" This work is Intended to give a popular history of the Commons'
House of Parliament. It comprehends the Lives of the Speakers, of
the Lawyers, Orators, and Statesmen, who have been most distin-
guished in its annals ; a review of the privileges once enjoyed by
Members, and their hard-won right to personal and deliberative
reedom ; a record of the vindictive powers exercised by the House
over their own body and strangers ; a narrative of the internal
economy of St. Stephen's Chapel; the changes in the habits, man-
ners, and character, of the constituency—in the decorum and method
crimoceedings--in the tone and temper of discussion, and in the pro-
gross of intelligence and refinement."
Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street.

CHEAP LIGHT.—EDWARD PRICE and CO.,
patentees and sole manafactercre of the COMPOSITE
CANDLES, respectfully call the attention of the Public to the fact,
that, although the price of these is somewhat higher than that of
ordinary mould candles, they are in reality much cheaper than these
latter ; one real Composite Candle giving the same quantity of light
as two of the moulds. They require no snuffing, and burn more
brilliantly than the best wax. The purposes of economy and luxury
are therefore both served at the same time by the use of these
candles. Parties intending to try them for the first time, are earnestly
requested to take care that they are served in the shops with
" Frice's Patent Candles ;" the reason for this caution is given else..
where. They are sold by most of the respectable tallow chandlers
throughout the kingdom, and wholesale to the trade by Edward
Price and Co., Belmont, Vauxhall ; and by Palmer and Co., Sutton-
street, Clerkenwell,

tionoA re unanimous in pronouncing it the most wonderflal ex-

cious Lake, to be fully appreciated.

triumph.
