very expensive works, it can never become a science of ge-
neral reading, and thus loses much encouragement."—

THE BEST SUPERFINE BEAVER
HATS, for 20s. improved t4illt Hats, equally
light, for 12s.—COV1NTON and CO:, 132, Cheap-
side, London, and bale-street, Liverpool, impressed with
gratitude for the liberal patioiagt afforded them, beg to
state they are still manufacturing the same untitaned Bea-
ver Hats at 20s. which have given so much satisfaction.
The medium of an advertisement is too confined to expressj
their perfections ; they are Waterproof, short in the nap, I
of the most beautiful colour, oval shape, light, elastic, and
of astonishing durability.
Their Improved Silk Hats, price 1.25., are not made
upon common wool bodies, and in some instances brown
paper, which deleterious articles have been so long foisted
on the Public, but .are positively made onavtehco
snalymetostbueff
body as a Beaver, consequently they partake of their elasti-
ity and lightness, without tke slighest pressure on the head,
an improvement which has beerclong wished for.
C. and Co. therefore earnestly entreat Gentlemen, pre_
vious to paying the present high prices, to call at 1:32,
Cheapside, and look at the Hats now offered for their in-
spection, as they will bear the minutest examination ; in_
deed they court it, being quite confident their Hats, and
the principle on which they do business, h
known to ensure universal approbation.
