ing SUPERFLUOUS HAIRS from the FACE, NECK,
ARMS, Ske. and' for Improving the COMPLEXION.—Atnidst
that dreedfel confusion in the Harem, and among the women,
occasioned by the massacre of 'the unfortunate Selim 111. Zayda
Hassan was so happy as to gain possession (at the risk of her hfe)
of this invaluable secret, which by the Turkish ladies, on account
of their style of dress, and the manner in which the face and neck
are exposed, is•held in the highest estimation. All others must
be spurious. To prevent the possibility of imposition, Ladles are
requested to observe, that each bottle is signed Z. Hassan' in the
Proprirtor'S hand writing, to imitate which is felony.—Price three
shillings and sixpence the bottle.
Zayda Hassan being unacquainted whit the English language, has

4, We are now obliged by the limits of our Review, to close
Mr. Gars Volume, which, (we take this opportunity of observ-
ing,) is a specimen of very elegant Typography. That we have
perused it with uncommon satisfaction the reader will already
have perceived. Here, as in the account of Troy, he generally
renders Homer his own Commentator, yet discovers such a
knowledge of ancient and modern writers, as clearly evinces that
he qualified himself by previous Study, for his geographical and
antiquarian researches."—Brit. Crit. July, 1806.

• SUPERIOR ELEMENTARY BOOKS.
THE extended and liberal views of modern Eda-
cation, as well as the necessity, in some cases, of substitu-
ting other subjects, in place of the dead Languages, in Schools
where these languages are less attended to than formerly, has led
to the publication of the undermentioned new and improved
Books on subjects of general interest and indispensible utility.--.
They hate already been introduced, with the happiest effects, into
many of the most considerable Foundation Schools, and into the
best private Academies ; and it is to be presumed that they have
only to be generally seen to be as generally adopted. It is scarcely
necessary to state that they are practically adapted to the business
of a School, and are so plain and simple in their treatment of the
several subjects, as to require little or no previous study on the
part of Tutors.
