A NEW AND IMPROVED PLAN OF WRITING,
BY 1. CARSTAIRS.
RY this New Method any Person may learn, in SIX
" LESSONS ONLY, a most beautiful Running Hand. This
Attainment will be Of great advantage to those who have Nooks
to keep, or, from their avocations in life, are obliged to write
bequendy. It will entirely eradicate any bad scrawl, and will
also add very muck to accuracy, freedom, and expedition. To
write well must be allowed by all to be a most necessary and
useful accomplishment. Any imptovernent therefore that can
be made to facilitate the obtaining of speed and proficiency in
this art, cannot be unacceptable to the admirers of PentnatishiP,
and also to those in business. This New Method is widely dif-
ferent and entirely distinct from all other Methods lately adver-
tised.—Specimens may be seen, and respectable references given,
on application to J. Carstairs, at No. 7 8, Newcastle-street, Strand.
Lade+ and Gentlemen may 'be attended in any part of London
rat that own houses.

THE—PATENT-LIVERPOOL LAMP consists
of certain improvements in Lamps, for which C. SEWARD
Obtained his Majesty's Letters Patent, combined with consider-
able other improvements lately made by 1. RMEAU, which
together form the most complete and perfect lamp ever invented.
The superior excellence of this Lamp has induced several im-
postors to imitate the same, thus grossly and unjustly infringing
upon the right of the proprietors, and imposing upon the public
spurious and imperfect Lamp, not at all answering the purpose,
either in regard to economy, elegance of construction, or bril-
liancy of ht. 'lite Inventors therefore feel it a duty they owe
to themselves and the public, to take this metherl of making it
known, that any person found infringing on the patent right after
.i._
Public notice, will be proceeded against to the utmost extent
of the law, and that the plea of ignorance (which has lately been
urged by some against whom prosecutions were commenced)
cannot obtain any relaxation in favour of such pirates.
.I.he above Lamp is sold, wholesale and retail, by Turmeau and
Co. at their Warehouse, No, 152, Drury-lane, facing Long-acre,
looladon and NO. 62, C9a4141-nreett Liver col.
