GRAND WHITSUN FETES.

Strong as have been the claims of this favoured place of public
resort at the beginning of each season, the Proprietor feels justified
in asserting, that never before did it offer a tithe of the attractions
it now presents. The Gardens have been complete:y renovated,
Statues and Fountains Introduced, new and extensive Promenades
formed, and the most lavish expenditure in every department,
will evince the Proprietor's anxiety to insure a continuance of public
Patronage.

LONDON IN THE OLDEN TIME

,Is the most gigantic achievement ever yet produced, and for grandeur
• of composition, fidelity of design, and beauty of execution, it far
oxceeds any previous production. It accurately represents ancient
London—Old St. Paul's—Old London Bridge—llaynard's Castle, and
all the principal Churches and Buildings of the locality, and may
with truth be designated the most wonderful production of mo-
dern tithes.
