MIIE PROTESTANT ALMANACK for 1841, i
and Sheet, price THREE-PENCE each: contain' a Record
of the most important Historical events, relati o the origin •
and process of Papal usurpation, persecuti. , idolatry, and
corruption, from its rise to the present t*. le, together with
a most accurate Tide-table for Lon... and Liverpool, also
much useful and instructive informa of the utmost value
to Protestants of every denomination; compiled by JOSEPH
CRISP, Liverpool.
The great encouragement given to the publication of the
" Protestant Almanack for 1810," although brought out
under every disadvantage, has determined the compiler to
spare no trouble or expense in the design and arrangement of
his Almanack for 1841. The Almanack will contain beauti-
fully executed Wood Engravings of

THE MARTYRDOM OF ARCHBISHOP CRANMER,
HEAD OF BISHOP RIDLEY,
MASSACRE OF ST. BARTHOLOM/W.,*
HEAD OF BISHOP LATIMER,
SEIGE OF DERRY,
DERRY TESTIMONIAL, &C. &C.
As nothing but a most extensive sale can cover the heavy
outlay upon so cheap a work, the compiler sincerely trusts
that every good friend of the cause will use his endeavours
to extend its circulation.

P.
ALMERand Co.'s PATENT LENS CANDLE-LA NI
1 FOR RENDERING THE LIGHT OF ONE CANDLE EQIIAI:
TO THAT OF MANY, is an invention for increasing thequan-
tity of light in any required direction, by means Lenses,
and without any additional cost of candle. 'ithout the
Lens it forms a handsome Table Lamp, haying a dome shade,
and a contrivance for receiving one, two, or more Lenses,
that may be applied round the flame as wanted, so that as
many as eight persons can sit round one Lamp, and each
have a strong life cast on their work or books. For reading
by the fireside, or when lying in bed, it possesses an advan-
tage never before offered ; in the latter case particularly. for,
as the lamp need not be removed from the table, no danger
from fire can arise.

The PATENT MAGNUM CANDLE-LAMP, with Can-
dles of Three and Four Wicks, and giving as much light as a
large Argand Lamp, continue to be much approved by pur-
chasers. Some late improvements enable the Patentees to
offer them with increased confidence ; also the TABLE-
LAMPS, the NIGIIT-LAMPS, CHANDELIERS, &c.
For lighting churches, and other public buildings, either
the Magnum Candles, or those of a smaller size, will be found
greatly preferable to oil.
The superiority of Candle-Lamps, for cleanliness, their not
requiring snuffing, trimming, or cottoning, is manifest ' • and
considering the extraordinary consumption of oil in all lamps
made to burn cheap oil, and their liability to spill, they will
be found to be for most purposes probably cheaper than any
other portable light.—Apply to
