IMPROVED SODA POWDERS.

It has been observed, that the Soda Water, when kept in
jars, parts with its carbonic gas ' • that carriage of it to a dis-
tance has been attended with risk and considrable expense ;
and that from these inconveniences, its use has been confined
chiefly to large cities and their environs. To obviate these
objections, and to extend the use of this agreeable and effica-
cious Water, the ingredients for making it are offered to the
public.—Sold in boxes at Is. Gd. each.
FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA.

- In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro-
perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who,
from various causes, would experience great inconvenience,
Or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the
Compound Decoction, the Fluid. Extract, which possesses
the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate,
will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much
esteemed Medicine. _ _

Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine-
glass full of water, makes a preparation equal in strength to
half-a-pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed
by the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Pharmacopoeias.
The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are
those of the Skin ; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive
Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c. arising from a diseased
state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim-
ples, &c. from the Face, this Medicine has no superior.
The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation
has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the name of
Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the
Sarsaparilla consist in its extractive matter, and it possesses
no real property in the form of essence, while the Syrup is
injurious to the digestive organs by causing acid fermentation.
Sold in bottles, at 4s. Gd., 7s. Gd., 10s., 155., and 21s. The
larger sized bottles are the cheapest.

tegture, and luxuriaut appearance.—Sold in bottles at Is. 3d.

_ .

Permanent Inks. It gives a most brilliant black, which cannot
be removed by acids or any other causes, without at the same
time destroying the linen. Families may be accommodated
with the improved Permanent Ink and Preparation separately
if required.--,Sold in Cases, Is 6d, and 3s.

OF TILE
UNITED CHURCH OF ENGLAND D IRELAND,

AND OF THE

EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN SCOTLAND,
AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

EDITED BY THE Rev. STEPHEN ISAACSON, M.A.
IT is intended that this great National Work shall comprise
a series of Portraits, accompanied with brief Memoirs, of
the Archbishops, Bishops, and other living Dignitaries and
Clergymen of the United Church of England and Ireland,
both here and in our Colonies, the Episcopal Church of
Scotland, and that interesting branch of the Protestant
Episcopal Church now flourishing in the United States of
America; and the distinguished patronage with which this
undertaking has been already honoured, inspires the Pro-
prietors with confidence that it will be highly acceptable to
the nation at large, as well as to the Members of our venera-
ble and Apostolic Church.
The value of this Work will be obvious to all who desire
to see the sacred tics of Christian affection drawn more closely
between the respective orders and ranks of the Clergy and
their Ctinr.rezations. io the Cle9.y who may wish to possess
Portraits of the Bishops who ordained them, and are corer
them in the Lord," and likewise of their College and Clerical
friends ; and of living authors whom they finve read and
esteem., the present Work will be full of interest and pleasure.
To Parochial Congregations also it will afford high gratifica-
tion to be able individually to possess themselves of a faithful
Portrait of the Pastor from whom they receive the advantt.ges
of religious instruction and spiritual consolation, and whom
they have been led to " esteem highly for his work's sake."
The numerous Lay friends and relatives of the Clergy will
also have an opportunity of obtaining accurate Portraitures
of those who are endeared to them by the ties of nature. In
all these, and many other respects, this Work cannot fail of
becoming of great utility and interest to the vast body of the
Nobility, Clergy, and Gentry of the British Empire. The
Portraits will be selected without the least regard to political
or other differences of opinion. Eminence in Ecclesiastical
rank, intellectual abilities, learning, virtue, or religious zeal,
bein., the great objects proposed to be recorded.
The Memoirs will be confined to a review of the academical
course and public life of the Clergyman whose likeness is
given, together with a list of any religious or literary works
which he may have published. Facts will be stated, while
all critical and controversial observations likely to offend will
be excluded. It has been suggested by very high authority,
that it would add much to the interest and value of the work,
if each Clergyman would furnish a short exposition of a
passage of Scripture. The Proprietors cheerfully accede to
this suggestion, and respectfully solicit the favour of such
communications. And as only about four pages on an
average can be appropriated to each Memoir and Scriptural
illustration, brevity will be highly desirable.
The Portraits will be engraved in the first style of the Art,
and neither trouble nor expense spared to render this great
Work worthy of the noble cause to which it is dedicated, and
one of the most splendid that has ever appeared.
A Part, containing three Portraits, with their respective
Memoir, will be published on the first day of every alternate
month, in a thick, handsome wrapper, for the protection of
the Plates. The size of each engraving will be nine inches by
seven. _ s. d.

All Portraits will be given in full canonicals ; and those
Clergymen who have approved likenesses will oblige the
Proprietors by lending them for the purposes of this Work.
They will be carefully preserved, and returned free of expense;
but where no Portrait exists, the Proprietors will have one
painted expressly for the Work at their own expense.
