PERCUSSION GUNS.

A. BECKWITH has the honour to inform
• Noblemen and Gentlemen Sportsmen, that his late
IMPROVEMENTS in PERCUSSION GUNS have given
satisfaction to every Gentleman that has used them, they having
Shot more game than they had ever dune with any other gun ;
lihith they attribute to the contracted line of direction, as well
ut to the astonishing quickness of communication to the charge
of Powder, and to the increased velocity of the shot. Beckwith's
Guns may be expeditiously primed three different ways, which
prevent the possibility of accident : the barrels are all proved by
percussion, warranted safe, and to shoot equal to the best that
can be produCed ; the locks are completely water proof, and
mud easier cleaned than any others, as it is not necessary to take
them off the stock.—Old guns altered to fire by percussion at a
moderate expense; great variety of second-hand guns; remark-
ably strong and quick-firing cylinder gunpowder; percussion
powder of very superior quality; copper caps and primers of
every deseription ; with every article in the gun trade, retail and
for exportation.—Gunmaker to the lion. East India Company,
Skinner-street, London. •

Resistless down the torrent borne;

By guod men, now thou ily'st to bad.
