THAT the IMPOSITIONS practised uopn the public
now in various parts of the Metropolis are of so extraordi-
nary a nature as to exceed in artifice any thing heretofore known,
seems not to require a moment's argument. One of these appears
within the last few months more particularly to abound, namely,
that of Shopkeepers in various branches of trade, representing
themselves as " SELLING OFF BANKRUPTS STOCKS,"
whereas no Bankrupt connected with such stock ever existed; this
detestable mode being resorted to, merely to deceive the credulous.
In those shops a few articles being shown as a testimonial of cheap-
ness, Ladies are too frequently induced to imagine that all the rest
correspond, and are led incautiously to make purchases, the de-
merits and deception of which are not discovered till their arrival
kome. It is not the intention of this advertisement to enlarge on
the glaring subterfuges of numerous houses of business, but as the
Nobility and Gentry are pretty well acquainted with the strenuous
efforts adopted at this period last year by the Proprietors of the
EMPORIUM, GREEK-STREET, SOHO, to oppose such de-
grading systems, it is presumed that the extraordinary degree of
patronage conferred upon such attempts will be sufficient to prove
that the professions made have been and are still undeviatingly
adhered to. In issuing this publication, WAGNER and CHAP-
MAN beg to submit to the numerous reader. of the Star News-
paper, that, anxious at this season to solicit the support of Ladles
and Familiea returning to town, they are induced to subjoin
a fresh list of some of their various excellent bargains, which are
really to be met with at this Establishment, and which only re-
quire inspection to insure considerable purchases by those to whom.
