"A
Daguerreotype portra. hat could truly be pronounced a
_altering likeness we ce nly never expected to see, that jibe-
12menon, however, w presented to us on recently visiting
1"-r• Claudet's Estalir ment."--Athenceum.
Mr. ClaniWt's portraits we no longer see the Rat, un-
Teaning face, with outline correct, but features confused and
_apitorted. Scientific adjustment and artistical treatment have
',Tinted this, and the productions are now in higher relief, and
'Yip the lights and shadows of nature."—Literary Gazette.
Mr. Claudet is enabled to modify various effects of light
In their

ffsit:ou, instead of being inverted. We confess we had no idea

.MILNER'S 212° SAFES
"HOLD FAST AGAINST FIRE AND FRAUD."

MILNER'S PATENT FIRE-RESISTING PRIN-
CIPLE.—Improved, Non-conduction, enirating evapo-
ration, (in fire) at successive temperat a— self-contained,
self-acting, and durable, as applied i 11LN E R'S ONE-
CHAMBERED PORT ABLE BOX , (1i inch thick,) recom-
mended of not less than one c foot inside, for ordinary-
sized Dwelling-Houses and 0 Buildings.
MILNER'S DOUBLE- MBERED BOXES and SAFES
(2 to 2,1 inches thick, r Warehouses, or extensive Office,
House, or Shop Pre • es.
hIILNER'S, D LE BANKERS' SAFE, (6 inches thick,)
equal to twent -four hours' fire, for large Mansions, Ware-
houses, and extra hazardous risks, as each are equal to the fire
likely to come upon them in the entire conflagration of the
buildings they are respectively adapted for.
MILNER'S " HOLD-FAST" FIRE, VIOLENCE, and
FRAUD-RESISTING SAFES, CLOSETS, and STRONG
DOORS, the strongest Safes in the World ; no bodies under
quarter-inch thick, nor doors under half-inch thick (solid
wrought iron,) with the strongest and most secure fastenings,
and locks which their most skilful workmen cannot pick nor
open, and enclosing Milner's unequalled fire-resisting chambers.
JAPANNED CASH BOXES (not fire-resisting) with Milner's.
impregnable detector locks.
MILNER'S IMPREGNABLE LOCKS, for all uses, and com-
bination door latches.
Pamphlets may be had at the Works, and of the Agents,
giving sizes, prices, description, experimental tests, in red heat,
from one to twenty-four hours by scientific and practical par-
ties; and cases a actual fires in which Milner's Safes (out of
the 20,000 in use) preserved their contents unsinr,ed, everything
else being destroyed in the puddings, including the contents of
strong iron .safes and drawers, and Closets, with double Iron
Doors, standing beside Milner's : as in Messrs. Walker's fire
at Birkenhead ; Messrs. Plimson's, of Plymouth; Messrs.
Brown's, of Glasgow, &c. &c.
CAUTION.—None genuine but such as bear Milner's Patent
Plates, dated 1840.—Any means of producing moisture or eva-
poration within or round a safe, as securing from fire, infringes
these patents, and will be prosecuted.—Without the powerful
aid of steam, neutralising 1000 degrees of heat, no presumed
bad conductor of heat, in a thoroughly dry state (which it will
L soon become in a dry office,) will preserve the contents of a
Safe unburnt in strong fire..
