EIGHTEEN ENGRAVINGS (Accom-
panied by Quotations and Descriptions) Illu.trative
of CYMBELINE, being No. XIII. of the SPIRIT OF
THE PLAYS OF SHAKSPEARE : A Series of Outline
Plates, exhibiting the Story of each Play, Drawn and En-
graved

RENCE, P. R. A.

PROSPECTUS.

The illustrations of Shakspeare are so numerous and so
varied, that, at first sight, it appears impossible now to
produce any which shall possess either novelty or attrac-
tion. But the projector of the present work hopes that it
is still in his power to offer to the public an accompani-
ment to the dramas of our immortal Poet which shall be
desirable, and at least novel in plan. It is his intention to
give the whole story of each play in a connected series of
designs, whether the incidents be performed or narrated.
The manifest advantages of this mode of illustration are
such as to occasion surprise that it should not have been
undertaken before. The interest that is excited for each
individual character, the satisfaction that always results
from seeing any thing complete, and the much greater
scope for the invention of the artist, are indisputable re-
commendations of the plan.
The Designs will be engraved in outline by the artist
himself. The costume, the national physiognomy, and
all that can possibly be characteristic or illustrative of the
subject, will be closely attended to; and it is hoped that
they will be found equally interesting as illustrations of
our great dramatist, and as an amusing series of plates for
a portfolio or table.

As the plays of S hakspeare are not equally fertile in in-
cidents, the Numbers may occasionally vary in the quan-
tity of plates, and sometimes may contain two plays; but
each Number will be complete in itself, and independent
of the others.

It is supposed that the thirty-six plays may be com-
prised in thirty Numbers, one of which will appear every
two months, containing on an average twenty plates.
The number to be printed of the quarto, on India
paper, will be strictly limited to one hundred copies.

THE ROYAL FILTER FOR CISTERNS.

PORTABLE FILTERING AND PORTABLE
CISTERNS, No. 69, STRAND.

MR. GEORGE ROBINS respectfully
IVI. makes known, that an apology is due to the mul-
titudinous applicants, who' have lately had to wait for
their commands being immediately attended to. The ex-
citement produced by this remedy for the wretched, im-
pure, and filthy water, supplied from the Thames, must be
his excuse, and when it is added that 1,200 Filters have
been ordered during the last fortnight, it is believed no
further excuse for delay will be required. To his Agents,
thoughout England, Ireland, and Scotland, he flatters him-
self the above will be found a satisfactory reason for the
delay they have recently complained of.
A reference to the opinions of all the eminent men of the
profession in London, renders it superfluous to add their
high testimony to the Royal Filter for remedying all the
impurities and chrystallizing foul water.
The following will be sufficient for the present pur.
pose :

Dr. JAMES JOHNSON, the author of the " Treatise on
Indigestion," pronounces the water to be disgusting to the
sight, and the effluvia to affect the senses."
And he thus concludes--" We sneer," says the doctor,
" at the delicacy of the Hindoo, who slakes his thirst at
the same tank where his neighbour is sacrificing to Cloacina ;
but what shall we say to the delicate citizens of Westmin-
ster, who fill their tanks and stomachs with water from
the Thames, at that very spot into which a hundred thou-
sand cloaca, containing EVERY SPECIES OF FILTH AND
ALL UNUTTERABLE THINGS, are daily di.gorging their
hideous and abominable contents. It is absolutely asto-
nishing, that in these days of refinement, and in a Metro-
polis whose inhabitants pride themselves on delicacy and
cleanliness, a practice should obtain, at which posterity
will shudder, if they can credit it."

Dr. KERRISON makes us acquainted with a fact, the
perusal of which will excite the same disgust in the mind
of the reader, as we ourselves feel in narrating it. On in-
specting the Thames near the landing at Chelsea Hospital,
he says he saw " the foul and black stream from the Rano-
lagh sewer, passing between the Company's steam-engine
and the Dolphin, loaded with no small portion of UNDIVIDED
FLOATING FILTH FRODI PRIVIES' •" from which he Con-
cludes, that "a considerable quantity of human excre-
ment, in a subdivided and undecomposed state, actually
passes into our cisterns."

THE PORTABLE FILTERS,
Possessing all the advantages of purifying-and rendering
chrystal the worst water, may be obtained at the following
prices :

2 Gallon Size, purifying 12 Gallons per day 255.
3 Ditto ditto 18 Ditto 30,.

6 Ditto...handsomely ornamented, 40 Ditto 425.
9 Ditto 65 Ditto. sss.
12 Ditto 90 Ditto. 7ss.
The Royal Filter, upon this plan, will chrystallize and
purify as much water in the course of the day as the largest
consumption of a family can desire.

There are also Portable Cisterns, capable of filtering
from 200 to 500 gallons, every 24 hours. These can be
sent to any part of the country.
The Prospectus may be had, and Filters, in full opera-
tion, may be inspected, at the Office of the Patentee,
George Robins, N.. 69, Straad, opposite the Adelphi
Theatre, where Orders are requested to be addressed.
