BRILLIANCY AND ECONOMY IN LIGHT.

THE PURE VESTA SPIRIT, FOR THE VESTA,
PARAGON, AND OTHER LAMPS ;

MANUFACTURED BY JOHN TALL AND CO..
6, NORTH WALLS, HULL.
VERY great improvements having been effected in this
Rectified Spirit, it can with confidence be recom-
mended as possessing qualities decidedly superior to any
manufactured. It combines the advantages of cleanliness
and economy, with perfect freedom from smoke or smell ;
and, whilst it imparts a most brilliant light, one lamp
being equal to at least twelve wax candles, the wick does
not require to be cut more than once a week.

The following statement of the analysis of Dr. Ure
affords a complete verification of its excellent properties :
Report of an experimental examination of the Vesta
Lamp Spirits, as Manufactured by Messrs. John Tall
and Cs., of Hull ; by ANDREW URE, M.D.,
Professor of Chemistry.
" London, 13, Charlotte-street, Bedford-square,
19th September, 1844.
" These Spirits are the lightest and purest which I have
ever met with in commerce ; having a specific gravity of
only 0.865 at 62' Fahr., whereas the Spirits of the London
shops have a specific gravity of .11.874 or more ; that of
water being 1000.

" The comparative lightness of the Spirits indicate their
fine quality. Messrs. Tal:'s Spirits when distilled have
no residuum, whereas the Spirits generally on Sale leave a
quantity of Rosin.' In consequence of the freedom of
Messrs. Tall's Spirits from this and other impurities I
have lighted my drawing-rooms with their flame during
several hours for five evenings successively, without hav-
ing the wick of the lamp trimmed, and without its occa-
sioning the slightest nuisance. _ _

" ANDREW URE."
The three principal Depots for Messrs. JOHN TALL
and COMPANY'S VESTA. SPIRIT are
6, North Walls, Hull ;
140, Suffolk-street, Birmingham ;
103, Hatton-garden, Holborn, London.
J. T. and Co. having observed that other Houses are
using Betts' Patent Capsule, beg to state they have made
arrangements with Mr. Betts for a Capsule bearing their
Address, (Jour.; TALL and Co., HULL,) which will be
applied to every separate Package, to insure the genuine-
ness of their Improved Vesta Spirit.
