CIRCULATION—THIRTY-FIVE THOUSAND
rpnE FAMILY FRIEND, a Monthly Periodical,
lI unrivalled in Cheapness, Interest, and Usefulness, price
Twopence, Thirty-two Pages, beautifully Printed, and stitched
in a Wrapper, in a neat Magazine form.
As soon as the FAMILY FRIEND appeared, it was recog-
nised as something new in literature. Its superiority to the great
mass of cheap publicat ons, became at once apparent—and
hence, before the Fourth Number was issued, the circulation
rose to THIRTY-FIVE THOUSAND, and is
still rapidly in-
creasing. Upwards of one hundred newspapers reviewed the
work in most favourable tertns—all concurring in the opinion,
that it is a publication which " should find its way to ever
Family in the kingdom." y

Its matter comprises Essays, Tales, Poems, Sketches, Papers
on Science, &c. &c. Light and cheerful in its literature, it is,
nevertheless, peculiarly instructive, and of a high moral tone.
But its chief distinguishing features are these :—that it con-
tains subjects of interest for every member of a
.family, from
the Grandfather to the Child ; and that it blends with enter-
taining matter, much valuable Practical Instruction upon
Household and General Domestic Affairs.
Every Number contains a Tale, an article upon Practical
Science, an Historical or Scientific paper, addressed to Young
People, by "Aunt Mary," or by "Grandfather Whitehead," a
mass of Useful Receipts and Prescriptions, (this department
being edited by a MEMBER OF THE MEDICAL PROFESSION ;)
Original Illustrated Designs in Fancy Needlework, (by the ce-
lebrated Mrs. WARREN,) Instruction and Advice for the Gar-
dener, Housewife, Naturalist, &c. &c. Various humourous
matters, such as Anagrams, Arithmetical and other Problems,
Enigmas, Conundrums, Rebuses, Practical Puzzles, Chess
Problems, &c. &c. fur Family Pastime.
Already the Work has supplied valuable matter upon pleas-
ing pursuits—such as the Culture of Flowers, the Preservation
of Flowers in Win er, the Preservation of Birds, Eggs, Insects,
Shells, Mosses, Ferns, &c., and an interesting Series of papers
upon the Preservation of " Sea Weeds" is now going on. Thus
it contributes to make Winter Fire-side Evenings, and Summer
Wanderings, alike agreeable and instructive.
New Subscribers are strongly advised to order the whole of
the Back Numbers at once, (Price 2d. each,) that there may be
no difficulty in procuring them hereafter.
The Work commenced January Ist, 1849, and a number has
appeared every succeeding month, up t
ando thSe present.

non-
conducting and evaporating chambers. The strongest Safes in
the world, with impregnable looks and fastenings. Milner's
Patent Fire-resisting Book Safes, Deed and Plate Chests and
Boxes, of all sizes, 50 per cent. cheaper than the above. In the
large towns of the manufacturing and commercial districts
Milner's Safes, of the different thicknesses, have been tested in
red heat, from one to twenty-four hours, by the authorities and
other scientific and practical residents; and in destructive ac-
cidental fires, in which the books, cash, deeds, &c., in all the
different Safes in use—strong iron ones with drawers, brick
and stone closets, with double iron doors, fire proof (?) wrought
iron chambered Safes, &c. &c.—have been burnt to ashes,
Milner's Safes standing beside them in the fire, externally as
red-hot, have done their duty, and brought out the hooks and
valuables within them uninjured. (See pamphlets of certifi-
cates, &c., to be had as at foot.) 20,000 of Milner's Safes keep
the books, &c., of the above practical men, who know what fire,
iron, and books, are, as well as the conservative powers of
steam, and the difference betwixt burning and boiling com-
bustible materials.
The Patentees caution the Public, that none are genuine bdt
such as bear the patent plates ; also against delusive tests of
non-conductors in a moist state, or into which means of pro-
ducing moisture, when heated, have been surreptitiously intro-
duced. Without the powerful aid of steam, neutralising 1000
degrees of heat, no presumed bad conductor of heat, in a tho-
roughly dry state, (which it will soon become in a dry office,)
will preserve the contents of a safe unburnt in a strong fire.
CAUTION TO MAKERS AND SELLERS OF SAFES.—
Any means of producing moisture or evaporation within or
round a safe, as securing from tire, infringes these patents, and
will be prosecuted.

THE MOST DURABLE OUT-DOOR PAINT
EVER INVENTED.

CARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION
PAINT, specially patronised by the British and other
Governments, the Hon. East India Company, the Principal
Dock Companies, and other Public Bodies, &c. is particularly
recommended to the Nobility, Gentry, Agriculturists, Manu-
facturers, West India Proprietors, and others, it having been
proved by the practical test of more than sixty years to surpass
all other paints as an out-door preservative. It is extensively
used for the protection of wooden houses, farm and other out-
buildings, farming implements, conservatories, park paling,
gates, iron railings, iron hurdles, copper, zinc, lead, brick,
stone, old compo, and stucco fronts, and tiles to represent slat-
ing. The superiority of the Ar ti-Corrosion to every other paint
for out-door -purposes may be easily inferred from the simple
fact, that its use has been always most strenuously opposed by
Color Manufacturers, Painters, Oil and Colormen, and others
interested in the sale of common paints. It is also very econo-
mical, any labourer being able to lay it on.
Colors (in powder): White stone, light stone, drab or Port-
ion(' stone, Bath stone, light and dark yellow stone, light and
dark oak, light and dark lead, light and dark chocolate, bright
and dark red, black, and brown, 345. per cwt.; invisible green,
