GEORGE ROBINS'S ROYAL FILTER FOP.
CISTERNS,
Portable Cisterns and Portable Filters of all Dimensions.
BY HIS MAJESTY'S LETTERS PATENT.
THE prevailing opinion ofthe impurity oldie
Water supplied to the Inhabitants of this City, is
so well founded, and so amply borne out by the numerous
Testimonials of the moot Eminent of the Metropolitan
Faculty, that any comment in this place would appear
like questioning the national common sense. We will
therefore confine our observations to the evidence given by
Dr. JAMES JOHNSON and Dr. KERRISON, in their exa-
mninatio❑ in the House of Commons.
Dr. Jat.txs Josn 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 Caine 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 disgorging 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 out selves 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 Kane-
lagh sewer, passing between the Company's steam-engine
and the Dolphin, loaded with no small portion of UNDIVIDED
FLOATING TILTII FROM PRIVIES;" from which he con-
cludes, that " a considerable quantity of human excre-
ment, in a subdivided and undecomposetl state, actually
passes into our cisterns:"

This mode of Filtration not only clarifies, but purifies,
the most turbid, fetid, stagnant water, rendering it of a
crystalline brilliancy, and at the same time most effectually
destroying both SMELL and TASTE. Its adaptation to
Cisterns enhances its valuable qualities, by obviating the
trouble of repeatedly charging it as heretofore, and
ensures an effectual preventive against the possibility of
employing any other Water than that which has passed the
Filter, either for Culinary operations, or in fact for any
domestic purposes. The rapidity of the process of Filtra •
tion, stands conspicuous amongst its advantages. The Pro-
prietor does notstate the precise number of Gallons capable of
being produced ; but is enabled confidently to assert that so
fast as the Water is supplied at the top of the Filter, so fast
will it discharge itself from the bottom in a highly purified
state.—lts moderate Price, (from 'Three Guineas upwards,
but rarely exceeding Six, in proportion to the dimensions
of Cisterns) by rendering it attainable to all Housekeepers,
confers a real blessing on Society, by at once removing the
cause of a multitude of Diseases, which are justly attri-
butable to the noxious particles contained in the Water.
To accommodate Private Families who desire to have
Portable Filters, it is respectfully suggested that they are
to be had of all dimensions at the Office in the Strand, and
are forwarded to all parts of England.

PORTAIILE FILTERS IN EARTHEN WA RE.

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. Thee: can be
stilt 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,

Theatre, where Orders are requested to be addressed.

HISTORY OF INDIA.

and numerous Engravings, price 245. boards, being
Parts 41 to 48 of
rr HE MODERN TRAVELLER; con-
taining a Popular Description, Geographical, His-
torical, and Topographical, of the various Countries of
the Globe, compiled from the latest and best Authorities.
The work is published in Monthly Parts, closely and
elegantly printed, price as. 6d. each; two of which form
a volume.

" We speak within the most cautious bounds, when we
say, that in any volume of this work the traveller will find
more of the actual material of which he stands in need—
the real, distinct, matter-of.fact information—than in any
ten voyages and travels' to the same region. Of the
minuteness of this history, India, the best judgment may
be formed from its extent. In the usual manner of print-
ing, it would fill three large octavo volumes. The con-
tent, of the four volumes exhibit a singular industry in
the collection, and condensation in the quantity of valuable
triatter.”—Literary Gazette, Dec. 6, 1823.
AFRICA is in the course of publication.
