TESTIMONIALS.
From W. G. - ? Herdman, Esq. Secretary of the Society of Arts,

Liverpool.
"6, Lansdowne-place, Everton, 6th March, 1847.
" T have tried the Pencils Manufactured by Messrs. Rowney,
Dillon, and Rowney, and find them most free and pleasant to
work with ; and capable of producing great depth and richness
of effect. " WILLIAM GAWIN HERDMAN."
From George Barnard, Esq., Head Drawing-Master to Rugby
School.
" 85, Great Portland-street, London.
" Gentlemen,—ln reply to your inquiry respecting my opi-
nion of the quality and value of your new Pencils, I do not
hesitate to say, that I find them excellent in all respects, with
entire freedom from grit, and working well whether hard or
soft. These qualities, combined with their moderate price,
render them very valuable to Artists and their Pupils.
" Truly yours, " GEORGE BARNARD."

From J. A. Hammersley, Esq., Head Drawing-Master of the

Government School of Design, Nottingham.
" Dear Sirs,—l have tried all the lead pencils you forwarded
o me, and consider them the best I have ever had; indeed it
is impossible justly to compare them with any others, as they
possess qualities I never yet found in pencils, amongst which I
may name their beautiful transparency and clearness. I have
not only made use of them myself, but have had them tried by
several students in this institution, and their excellence is ac-
knowledged by my pupils. The double B B's are most superb
pencils.—l am, Sirs, yours most respectfully,
" J. A. HAMMERSLEY."

From George Petrie Esq., R.H.A.
" 21, Great Charles-street.
" Gentlemen,—l have tried the set of pencils which you were
so good as to send me, and I have no hesitation in expressing
my opinion that they are far superior to any that I have used
for many years. perhaps indeed to any that I ever used. Were
the price of them three or four times what it is, I should take
them with pleasure ; • and I shall recommend them confidently
to my friends.—l am, Gentlemen faithfully yours,
" GEORGE PETRIE, R.H.A."

" Midland Great Western Railway,
" Engineers' Department, Feb. 20, 1847.
" 1 beg to certify, that I highly approve of Rowney, Dillon,
and Rowney's pencils for engineering drawings. They are
extensively used in my office and in the field, by my assistants,
and are greatly preferred to all other sorts, both for durability,
economy, and cleanliness.

" GEO. HEMANS,
" Chief Engineer to M. G. W. Railway."

From the London Art Union.
" We have recently tried some Lead Pencils manufactured.
by Messrs. Rowney and Co., which we can confidently recom-
mend. Their quality is good, both as respects colour and
firmness; they are free from grit, do not easily break, and,
moreover, are remarkably cheap."
