distinguished from ordinary Glass by the uncom-
mon eyenness and beauty of surface the superior
transparency and lightness Of color the great thick
ness, and the general excellence of the materials
which compose them. The surface not being polish
ed after being blown, retains the enamel brilliancy,
and hardness, and is subject to the objection
often applied to Plate Glass of being easily defaced
and permanently bedimmed by dust; being made of
extra thickness, WILL without injury, withstand vio-
lent Winds hail storms, jars of cannon, sc. Its use,
IN the end, will prove more economical, independent
of its adding much to the beautiful appearance of
buildings.

be seen in the New York Exchange and Custom
House, Towards Hotel, Bronson's Buildings Broad

dcnces and stores in various parts of the city also in

ed States. II has been used in a great number of
steamboats, and rail roadcars, and given entire salts

prove that this Glass stands preemnent and that it
deservedy merits the appreciation ofbuIders and
