THE INTERROGATIVE SYSTEM OF
EDUCATION._

IT is now above-twenty years since the Proprietor
of the undermentioned Works submitted to Conductors of
Schools the first specimens of that series of improved Elemen-
tary Books which he had planned for the purpose of facilitating
the Instruction of Youth, and rendering the acquirement of
knowledge at once pleasant, rapid, and certain. nis System
has since been known to the world under the aenotnination of
the Interrogative System; and, as opposed to some popular me-
, chanical Systems, its inventor has also defined it, by way of ,
imminence, she Thinking ticlamilectual System—from the Oil. I
gation to think, or mentally work, on the subject of study which'
it imposes on the pupil; and from the general improvement of
the intellectual faculties, of which habitual mental exercise is a
necessary consequence. This System, in the popular works pub..
lished under the names of Goldsmith, Blair, Barrow, Adair, Ace.
been introduced into nearly every School of character in the
'British Empire, and has met with a degree of approbation fat
iniceeding the original expectations of its author. The principle
jus
id teaching by Questions without Answers, which requires that
the pupil should furnish answers to questions, often complicated,
from the scattered data of his book, demanded various prepare
dons on the part of the tutor ; but the publication of the Tutor'd
Key, containing answers to above six thousand questions, hat
removed every difficulty in practice.
Among the competitors of the Interrogative System, the re-'
,petted name of PESTALOZZI has appeared; but it ought to be
known that his Sy.titem is precisely that to which the public at-
tention is now invited, hut which was taught in England many
years before the name of PESTALOTZI in any manner transpired.
Others have annexed questions to their books, and claimed
kindred merit; but, by an unhappy misconception of the prin-
ciple, their questions accord in arrangement exactly with the
order of the data to which they refer, and therefore afford no
exercise to the intellectual faculties. Others again have so far
mistaken the term " Interrogative System," as to obtrude on
the Public, under its sanction, a series of Books on the obsolete
plan of question and answer. While others have basely imitated
both the Inventor's plan and his books, and have produced va-
rious superficial, vulgar, and inadeinate compilations, whose
only recommerdatioos have been their close imitation of his
title-pages, types, ornaments, and bindings.
As a means of protecting the Public 2,,sainst all such artifices,
and of supporting the reputation of his Series of Books, he has
j therefore udgtel it expedier.t to subjoin

SUPERIOR BEAVER HATS, AT ONLY TWENTY

san, respectfully acquaint the Public, they are selling their
New-Invented Light Oval-Shape Double Covered Beaver Haas,
so much admired for their beauty of colour, and always retain.
ing their shape, and only 20s. The unbounded patronage Olin
tb these matchless Hats fully indicates their superiority over
every other Hat offered to public notice, and caused several
Retailers of Hats to assume the name of the Manufacturers, and
endeavour to foist oo the Public an inferior Nat, brgivlug than
a host of good qualities.
The Capital that nuance and TATUIII command enable them
to make large purchases of Furs, while the Trade in general
are obliged to buy on credit, and in small quantities, ready
manufactured Hats, consequently it is only deceiving the Public,
and ultimately injuring themselves to attempt any competition
with F d bon.

Letters received. Merchants and the Trade supplied. -

BALDNESS or GREY HAIRS will not bd seen.
Thousands of Ladies and Gentlemen have a good Lead of
hair, without being the least shaded or grey, by using PR INC/i's
LI ciSSIA OIL oily. But some Ladies being persuaded by their.
Ilaisdressers to use other Oils, or sold them counterfeit Russia
Oil, they soon found the difference, as their hair began to fall
off, and becoming shaded or getting grey, have deulared they
would use in future no other than Prince's Genuine Russia Oil.
In short, Prince's Russia Oil is the wholesomest and best Oil
for preserving and promoting the growth of Hair of Ladies,
Gentlemen, and Children; and, if used constantly, will make
the hair grow thick and long, prevent its falling off or turning
grey, and if it has begun tenant grey, is such a nourisher to the
hair, shat by use it will restore it to its natural colour ; also pre-
vents hair from becoming shaded, which is a great disfigurement
to Ladies, clears the scurf, and keeps the head and hair clean.
Ladies will find it the best Oil to use when dressing either their
own or false hair, as it keeps it soft, gives it a natural gloss, and
curls it beautifully any way they like.
Gentlemen who are bald, and the least sign of roots of hair
remaining, by using it regularly fur a short time, will have it rO.-
stored. Gentlemen wearing powder ought to use it instead of
pomatum. Even the Medical Gentlemen at the Medical Hall,
London, have published in the Gazette of Health, that Prince's
Russia (hi is superior to any Oil for the Hair, and arid de, in
MKS of baldness and weak hair what can be done by art,
Ask for Prince's Russia Oil, 4s. the small bottle, or a bottle
containing nearly five small ones, at Its. which Is a great saving.
Observe " Periwig" on the wrapper and seals of each bottle;
without it is not genuine, and cannot answer the purpose.
Ladies and Gentlemen will be particular, as there are Hair-
dressers in Town and Country who sell counterfeits, and say is
Is the Genuine.
Sold by the sole Proprietor, Prince, No. 68, Charlotte-street,
Portland-place. Sold also by Mr. Smyth, Perfumer to his Ma-
jesty, New Bond-street ; Ilendrie, Perfumer to her Majesty,
lichborne-street ; Bayley and Blew, Perfumers to the Duke and
Duchess of York, Cockspur-street ; and by the most principal
Perfumers and Medicine Venders.
Proved by oath on the 24th November,lBl4, before the Lord
Mayor of London, as A. Prince is the original Proprietor of the
Russia Oil in the Universe.
Although some of the ingredients are the produce of Russia ;
but the principal aromatic ingredients are the produce of Great
Britain; even if they want the genuine Russia Oil in Peters.
burgh, the capital of Russia, or in any other country in the world,
they must send to Prince, London, for it; therefore, if any Par.
fumer, Medicine Vender, Hair-dresser, or any one else in Great
Britain, or any other country, sell an Oil called Russia Oil, that
is not PRINCE'S, they are impostors, as they sell Counterfeits
to their customers.
CAUTION.—As Impostors have counterfeited the Russia Oil,
but finding no respectable Vender will sell the counterfeits, they
give it to Hair-dressers, and allow them a great discount; there.
fore, Ladies and Gentlemen will be particular to ask for Prince's
Russia Oil, as there are several Hair-dressers its town and coon.
