PATRIOTIC EDUCATION.
DOWN to the present time there has been undue delicacy
in rendering the principles of CIVIL LIBERTY a distinct
branch of Education ; and instruction on these important subjects has
been considered incompatible with prejudices artfully kept alive by
oomtpt interests now contemned by the whole nation. There are,
however, innumerable Parents, who would desire to have their Sons
inspired with principle. which are the glory of Englishmen,—and
many enlightened Schoolmasters who would be happy to introduce this
national subject to their Pupils. _ _

Sir RICHARD PHILLIPS, who for nearly forty years has been the
improver and reformer of Elementary Books, therefore respectfully in-
forms the Schoolmasters of the United Kingdom, that in a few days he
will publish,

PRINCIPLES OF THE BRITISH CONSTITUTION, its advantages
and perfections, and its defects and desirable reforms; including a
plain abstract of the Reform Bill now before Parliament,—adapted to
the use of Schools, as an Elementary Book. Price ONE SHILLING.

a tract will become as general and fashionable as BLAIR'S WHY and
BECAUSE, or any School Book now in general WIG
To be had of J. Da ooks, 421, Oxford-street, and of all Book-
sellers in Town and Country,—with 13 to the Dozen.

THE BEST AND MOST DURABLE HATS IN THE
KINGIDO3I.
BOW DEN, Waterproof Hat Maker, 17, and 27, High
Street, Bloomsbury, most respectfully informs his numerous
Customers and Friends he has opened the House (17) nearly opposite
St. Giles's Church, partly in consequence of the increasing demand for
Haw of his manufacture, and partly to counteract an opposition forming
by some individuals known by the cognomen of Jews, who have crept
into the trade and dubbed themselves Hat Makers, vending an Article
which the unsuspecting Purchaser might imagine, from a casual survey,
to be intrinsically good, and thereby materially injuring the long-esta-
blished fame he has enjoyed, from the circumstance of many occasional
customers not being acquainted with the precise situation of his houses.
BOWDEN needs only to add, that from the extensive patronage he
has already received, (and which be with gratitude views daily extend-
ing) he is convinced that all articles purelased at his houses have given
that satisfaction which it ever has and shall be his study to deserve ;
asking as a favour from the public, and his more immediate friends,
that they will please to observe his Establishments are only Two in
that Street, via. 17 and 27, which Houses he has endeavoured to ren-
der conspicuous, thereby to avoid disappointment.
i. Old Hats coveted with Silk from 6s. to 88.
N.B.—Shopkeepers: and Country Dealers supplied on the most ad-
vantageaus terms.
