THOMAS CONSTABLE, P INTER TO THE
QUEEN, having received her M ESTY'S Royal Au-
thority to publish a Memorial of the al Progress in Scot-
land, begs to submit the following sta ement explanatory of
the nature of the publication :

In this undertaking, the object of the Proprietor is to pro-
duce a Work, which shall not only form an authentic record
of all the events connected with the Royal Progress, but
which, in literary merit and pictoral attraction, shall be en-
titled to rank as one of the most splendid descriptive publi-
cations of the present day.

•
In maturing arrangements for a work of this nature, in
which so many individuals--of the first eminence in their
several departments—are required to co-operate, a consider-
able period of time must necessarily elapse. The Proprietor.
however, has now the satisfaction to announce, that his ar-
rangements are completed, on a scale which promises the
fullest measure of success in the execution of his under-
taking.

Having secured the advantage of the distinguished talents
of Sir THOMAS DICK LAUDER, Bart., it may be only ne-
cessary further to state, in reference to the literary depart-
ment, that many of the Noble and distinguished Personages
who had the honour of attending on her Majesty, have
evinced the utmost readiness to contribute such information
as they conceived likely to enhance the value and interest of
the work.

Among the Artists whose works will illustrate the Scenery
through which her Majesty passed, and the Pageants to
which the Royal Visit gave rise, the Proprietor begs to sub-
mit the following names:—

Dalkeith Palace, with the names of all those who had the
honour to be presented to her Majesty.
The Proprietor may be permitted to state, that the flatter-
ing support which the undertaking has already received, has
encouraged him to expend a much larger amount than was
originally contemplated, in the embellishment of the Work.
As it is intended that it shall appear early in 1843, those
who desire to possess the Publication, are requested to lose
no time in authorising their names to be added to the List of
Subscribers ; and, as this list will be printed at the end of
the volume, it is important that the names should be trans-
mitted to the Publishers with as little delay as possible.

small selection from among the names of Royal and Noble
Personages who have honoured the Work with their patron-
age.

RECENT events have awakened so general a feeling of
the momentous importance of securing a protection
from fire to Deeds, Records, MSS., Books and Papers of
Accompt, Cash, Gunpowder, and all Combustible Materials,
that THOMAS MILNER and SON feel excused in again
inviting public notice to their PATENT FIRE RESISTING
DEPOSITORIES. Having submitted their one-chambered
Boxes, of one inch in thickness,. to severe trials in the prin-
cipal towns, they have received from the authorities of each
the most satisfactory certificates of their efficiency for ordi-
nary casualties; and, being confirmed in their
,otiinion by a
long course Of experiment, that, under suitable.modification
of chambers and thickness of boxes, the peculiar principle
of their Patent is capable of affording security under the
severest ordeal likely to occur in calamities of the kind, they
respectfully solicit the consideration of gerglenaen interested
in mechanical science to the subject genera y, and investiga-
tion into the pretensions of the various means of security in
use, their own amongst the rest.
M. and S. are prepared to submit
.their manufactures to
public trial with any others of equal dimensions, whilst their
comparatively moderate cost renders them extensively avail-
able.
The Certificate of the satisfactory trial of their Boxes in
Liverpool bears the signatures of the following gentlemen, to
whom permission of reference is kindly given :
THOMAS
ir, rHsoi.,:A SHAW
BOLTON,
BN

BARTHOLOMEW PRESCOT, Esq.
L. GRAHAM, Esq.
R. FRODSHAM, Esq.
Wm. STOCK, Esq•
S. WOODS. jun.,
Esq.
In addition to the above, Milner and Son draw attention
to the following statements :
A trial of Milner's Patent Fire Resisting Safes and Boxes
having been announced by cards, issued to 500 of the scien-
tific and principal gentlemen of Dublin, which was adjourned
from the Royal Dublin Society's premises, on account of
alterations in progress thereon, took place at the Rotundo
Gardens, October 7th, 1812. The fire, consisting of half a
ton of coals, and fifty to sixty feet of wood and kindling, was
lighted at one o'clock, with a box and powder safe, filled
with papers, &c., in the centre. The whole were examined
by the gentlemen present, whose signatures on the certificate
were placed inside.
Sir John Kingston James kindly conducted the proceed.
ngs, and locked the box. At two o'clock, at Dr. Meyler's
suggestion, a large sugar hogshead, with both ends knocked
out, was placed over the top of the fire, which, quickly ig-
niting, caused a very fierce draught, •and produced intense
heat on the tops of the boxes, which were seen through the
opening crevices of the burning cask most severely exposed.
A little before three o'clock, Dr. Meyler, with whom the
keys had been left by Sir John Kingston James, opened the
box, and its contents including several parchments with seals
attached, were found to be perfectly safe. At half-past four
o'clock the Powder Safe was taken out and opened, and the
inner cell, with its contents, were still unaffected by the heat.
It was again replaced in the fire of red coke, and kept in
until six p.m. ; when taken out, after five hours' trial, al-
though the outer cell was red hot, the inner one and contents,
on being opened, in the presence of Joshua Abel, Esq., H.
Richardson, Esq., M.D., Messrs. Thosand, Gardiner,
Trouton, &e., were still as fresh and perfect as when placed
in the tire. We declare our satisfaction with the result of
these experiments, and our confidence in the perfect efficiency
of this principle for the preservation of all combustible ma-
terials in ordinary fires.

A Public Test of MILNER and SON'S (of Liverpool) PA-
TENT
rasNGTFs
Elbe, this afternoon ;
We, the undersigned, having been present during the whole
time of the above, tel pleasure in! expressing our conviction
of their perfect security in all cases of casual and ordinary
fires. The Box was filled with papers, circulars, books, and
old ledgers; in addition to which, Mr. Wenden, the repre-
sentative of the patentees, placed his watch inside ; the whole
were examined by the gentlemen present, and were locked
down by " Hernn H • C. Bleeker, 68, Admiralitiitistrasse."
The fire was composed of upwards of seven cwt. of coal, and
a considerable quantity of wood, oaken slabs, and other Com-
bustibles, solely under the superintendence of Mr. Thomp-
son, Manager of the Globe Foundry Iron Works. The Box
was placed in the fire, and there allowed to remain for one hour
the osity
box,
wa s
and a half, during the chief of which time it was of a white
heat. Much curi
i excited respecting the watch ;
but on opening t was perfectly safe, and going a
true as when deposited—thewhole contents were also pte-
served, ncluding he) document on which this certificate is
written.
