TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCIL
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
CONSIDERING the very extensive nattlre ni the
Canvass fur a Seat in the East frulia Direction, and the short-
ness of period in which I have had an opportunity of entering upon
that Canvass, and of becoming acquainted with the great' and in-
dependent body of Proprietors of East India Stock, I feet no less
gratified than encouraged by the result of the Ballot on the f.,5,1 inst.
I avail myself of this, the earliest opportunity, to return my sin-
cere Thinks to the numerous and kind friends who came forward
in my favour on that occasion; and at the same time gratefully to
acknowledge the many flattering assurances I have received of that
additional support on the next Vacancy, which previou, engage-
ments prevented my btinz honoured with the last.
Having already submitted to you the public grounds upon which
I presented myself before you as a Candidate for the honourable
situation of an East India Director, it milt remains for me now to
renew my exertions to secure your confidence and your support, and
to rtpeat my pledge of going to the on the first Vacancy.

1 have the honour to be, with great respect,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your most obedient and humble Servant,
ROI3RUT T. FARQUHAR.

READING SAUCE.

T COCKS, the Inventor and Proprietor of the
• CEtEBEATED READING SAUCE, begs most re-
spectfully to caution the• Nobility, Families, and the Publ:c, against
the daily frauds and impositions practised by many London and
Country Oilmen and Fish Sauce Venders, to deceive and deprive
them of the
GENUINE READING SAUCE.

None are genuine but those which have the corks sealed with the
impression, "J. Cocks, Reading," and also the following descrip.
tionsof the Sauce on an orange-coloured label, " Reading Sauce
foe Fish, enriching Gravies, &c. Prepared and. Sold, Wholesale
and Retail, by J. Coeus, fia:ading."
This &sue,: is generally used at table with all sorts of Fish, in
preference to ail ether Fish Sauces, and is esteemed peculiarly deli-
cious with G.aue, Wild Fowl, flashes, Steaks, and Cold Meat.—
Warranted to keep good Seven Years in any climate.• It is
' presumed that no Sauce ever met with such general approbation
and extensive sale. It is patronised and recommended by most of
the FlKsr Faurtats in the Kingdom, and is retailed in London by
•?.50 of the most respectable Oilmen and Fish Sauce Venders; in
Bath, by 30; Bristol, 20; Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth, and Aber-
deen, 50 ; and by nearly all the principal Fish Sauce Dealers in
the .United Kingdom, most of whons sell Coces's Genuine and
Superior Essesicx of Micstovilts, made with prime Gorgona Fish,
rich as possible.

• TOOTH-ACHE AND EA It-ACHE.
DERRY'S ESSENCE has melted the sanction and
1 support of the most distinguished Personages in the Kingdom,
together with the united testimony of the first Physicians in,
Europe, and numerous favourable comments in highly respectable
Medical Journals, where it has been declared to be the "best thing
ever discovered for the Tooth-Ache and Kar-Ache." It instanta-
neously relieves the most excruciating pain, preserves the Teeth
sound and firnt, prevents further decay, effectually cures the Scurvy
in the Gums, fastens loose Teeth, and renders them firm and service-
able to the latest period, and effectually prevents the Tooth-ache.

4' Our Journal having been one of the earliest to announce the
contemplated publication of this splendid and intereolog Series of
Historical Portraits and Biography, it is peculiarly gratifying to
to be able to attach the npinions of contemporary Cr dies in confir-
mation of oar own, when we ventured to predict, that, if judi-
ciously executed, it would prove the most Interesting and exten-
sively patronised Publication of the age. ' The Edlowing Critiques
are extracted from the leading Literary Journals of the day:
" We have perused the Biographies with as much interest as we
have looked at the I'lates with adnitration ; and we know not
when we have experienced a stronger influence than their combi-
nation has exercised over our roindri. How far the Collection alto-
gether excels the celebrated Work of Houbraken, It needs only to
place them side by side to be convinced at the briefest examination."
—Literary Gazette.
" This is a judicious and beautiful Work, whether we refer to
the execution and authentic character of the engraved Portraits, or
the literary merits of the Biographlcat and Historical Memoirs.—
The Book will lNe esteemed not as one of Pictures only, but of
Biography and History, and will enter, in no obscure character, into
the general stock of our National Literature.-o
-Laßelle Aesemblee.
" With the purest feeliiigs of congratulation do we hail the ap-
pearance of this yew, commodious, and most reasonable edition of
a Work, which, on the score birth of art and of information, will
hand down the illustrious Worthies of this country to the latest
posterity."—Literary Museum.
" As a work of Biography, it is comprehensive and authentic,
without an useless sentence. As a work of Art, it cannot be too
highly valued or encouraged."—New Literary Gazette.
