OPINIONS OF THE PRESS

" In almost every page it is evident that the author had
continually in view the probability that his reader might be
totally unacquainted with any scientific term or expression.
The diagrams, which are very numerous, are nearly all origi-
nal, and some of them very ingenious."—Liverpool Mercury.
" We have very great pleasure in directing. public attention
to this little work, which, in a small compass, contains more
really useful instruction than some volumes we have seen of
vast size and pretension. To masters, mates, and young men
employed in the merchant service, and to youthful officers in
the navy, such a book as this will be a most acceptable boon ;
while it will prove not less valuable as an easy guide to those
general students who are anxious to acquire more than a
mere popular knowledge of the science of astronomy. Mr.
Payne's style is singularly perspicuous, his great object
having been to render his explanations easy of comprehension
by the merest tyro. In this respect he has been, we con-
ceive, exceedingly felicitous ; and the engraved diagrams
which he has introduced will be found great aids to the com-
prehension of the student."—Liverpool Albion.

j PRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, begs 3:arden-
t/ • larly to call the attention of his Friends and the Public
to the undermentioned selection of Preparations.

PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS

Which approach nearer than anything yet—slisco;efed to
~,
the Cltalybeate Waters of Germany. The
,Lyle of pre-,parin,* PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDER peculiar ti
himself, and combines scientific skill ~,. great Rem:
' racy • and though numbers of people Oacquainted with
the business, and others, have of late yeamottempted imibt-
Lions, they have invariably been found to 'Oe spurious com-
pounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor the me-
dicinal properties of the Seidlit: Waters.
_ . . . _ _ _

Sold in Roses, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Powders,
to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases, 10s.
each. The latter are put up in a very eligible form for ex-
portation, or to use at sea, and will keep any length of time
in all climates.
THE FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA.

In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro-
perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who,
from various causes, would experience great inconvenience,
or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the
Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses
the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate,
will be found a most desirable mode of employing this mucn
esteemed Medicine.

Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine-
glass full of water, makes a preparation equal in strength to
half a pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed
by the London, Edinburgh. and Dublin Pharmacopoeias.
The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are
those of the Skin ; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive
Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c., arising from a diseased
state of the system at large. For removiug Blotches, Pim-
ples, &c. trom the Face, this Medicine has no superior.
The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation
has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the name of
Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the
Sarsaparilla consist in its extractive matter, and it possesses
no real property in the form of essence, while the Syrup is
injurious to the digestive organs by causine acid fermentation.
VEGETABLE HAIR OIL

Is allowed to be an excellent discovery for invigorating and
renovating the human Hair. It eradicates the Scurf, nou-
rishes the Hair, prevents its falling off, produces a most beau-
tiful natural curl, and gives to artificial Hair a peculiar soft-
ness of texture and luxuriant appearance. Sold in Bottles
at is. 3d. and 3s. each.

VEGETABLE TOOTH POWDER.
A pleasant Tonic Tooth Powder, which simply removes all
tartarous incrustations from the enamel ; and by its peculiar
properties preserves that necessary covering.—Sold in Boxes,
2s. 6d.

PRIESTLEY'S FURNITURE PASTE.
For Cleaning and Polishing Furniture without labour or
trouble. This paste is used for cleaning and polishing every
description of furniture, whatever preparation may have been
previously used for that purpose, it adds a high lustre to
French polish.—Sold in Pots at Is. each, or 3 pots for 2s. 6d.
FURNITURE OIL,
Half-pint Bottles Is.. Pint Bottles I s. 9d.. Quart Bottles, 3s.
GENUINE METALLIC LUSTRE.
This article is recommended to Housekeepers for cleaning
all manner of Gold and Silver Plate, Metal Teapots, Pewter
Measures, Brass Fenders, Candlesticks, Stair Rods, Brass
Plates on Doors, Tin Covers, &c. &c.: with half the usual
labour which is generally required with other preparations
the above Lustre leaves a beautiful polish on the Metal. It
will also be found useful in the Stable department, for clean-
ing Brass-mounted Carriage, Gig, or Coach Harness.—Sold
in Squares at 6d. and Is. each.
ESSENTIAL SALT OF LEMONS.
For taking Iron Moulds, Ink Spots, and other Stains, out
of Linen, Muslin, Lace, &c., and for many other useful'pur-
poses. —Price ls. per Box, or three Boxes for 2s. 6d.
MUCH ADMIRED ALMOND FLAVOUR.

Cakes, Wines, Jellies, &c., communicate a most delicious
taste of Almonds. Sold in Bottles, with Directions, ls. 6d.
