means of Lenses, and without any a d. • :nal cost of candle.
Without the Lens it forms a hand. 'Table-Lamp, having
'a dome shade and a contrivance r 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 light cast on their work or books. For
reading by the fireside, or when lying in bed, it possesses an
advantage never before offered ; in the latter case particu-
larly, for, as the lamp need not be removed from the tabir
no danger from fire can arise.
The PATENT MAGNUM CANDLr
Candles of Three and Four Wicks, and
as a large Argand Lamp, continue to be much approv,
purchasers. Some late improvements enable the Patent,
to offer them with increased confidence ; also the TABLE
LAMPS, the NIGHT-LAMPS, CHANDELIERS, &c.
For lighting churches, and other public buildings, eitbe
the Magnum Candles, or those of a smaller size, will b.
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
