G. P. PAYNE

OPTICIAN AND CHRONOMETER MAKER.
(Late Melling and Payne, Bywater and Dawson, and Egerle°

Amith,)

HAVING lately experienced such an increased de'
mind for his Marine Chronometers as to have some
difficulty in meeting it, has determined to enter more largeu
into that branch of his manufacturing business, and has 11
completed arrangements for having the instruments made al),
finished on his own premises, which have been altered for UP'
---,se. He is now - t-

prepared to execute Wholesale as well ...,-,
Retail Orders for Chronometers, Watches, and Clocks, and vw
allow the utmost possible trade discount on these article, if (o',.
exportation or when required by the trade.
To render this improvement as effective as possible, G. /7.
PAYNE has entered into partnership f a-long period with :
bleenrar
Chronometer Manufacturer, who mg practical experience
with theoretical knowledge, w. ye his exclusive attention t°
superintending and finis the instruments, and who, bc

G. P. PAYNE begs to remark, that this is a very imports'„,
feature in his new arrangements, inasmuch as dealers in Chi.' f
nometers and Watches are obliged to depend on the veracity°,
their workmen for the character of the instruments they sell'
but all the great establishments in London have raised the2e
fame on the practical superintendence and workmanship of t';',
first founders, who have been distinguished, not merely
shopkeepers, but in their more dignified character as scientiP
mechanics, whose superintendence, invention, and workman:ship, have raised the English Chronometer to its r- iaerfec

uon ana utility. G. P. PAYNE, therefore, taking advaniage:j
the personal application of a scientific mechanic, combr r,
with the established respectability of the oldest shop in ywf,7
pool, will be enabled successfully to compete with the major
of the trade in Liverpool, and from his contiguity to Presco..l

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
"This is a truly valuable work, and will be found as use to
and acceptable to the general student of science on shore, s'o3B
those who seek only to determine by planetary observation ,e 0
true position of a ship at sea. The explanations are so s'to
and comprehensive, that a comparatively slight study u'ints
work will convey an entirely satisfactory knowledge of P°_,oB
which the perusal of most elementary treatises on the °:„rt,
subjects, left in cloudiness and doubt. He has done an illribe
ant service to students of astronomy in general, and to the
nautical world in particular, and his book should be 10Dy
hands of all seamen, young and old, who are honourably 814.0,
tious of perfecting themselves in the higher branches of n3`cer
tion. We have, ourselves readily arrived at a distinct peroll
tion of many problems, which we confess we were prev,°
unable to solve."—Liverpool Standard.
