Strong as have been the claims of this favoured place of public
resort at the beginning of each season, the Proprietor feels justifies'
in asserting, that never before did it offer a tithe of the attractiiins
it now
.p:esents. The Gardens have beet' con ',tete y renovated,
Statues and Fountains introduced, new and extensive Pronienades
f 'tined, and the most lavish expenditure in every department,
will evince the I roprictur's anxiety to insure a continual ce on public
Patron. ge.
THE NEW GRAND PICTORIAL MODEL OF
LONDON IN THE OLDEN TIME!
Painted by anson and Telbin,
is the most gigantic nchievement ever yet produced, and for grandeur
• of compositivn, fidelity of design, and beauty of execution, it Itav
exceeds any previous production. It accurately represents ancient
London—Old St. Paul's—Old to ndon Bridge—Bsynard's Castle, and
alt the principal Churches and Buildings of the localty, and may
with truth be designated the most it unclean' production of Ma.
Bern times.
