ANECDOTES

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES AND AUTHENTIC OF HORSES, and the Allied Species. By Captain THOMAS BROWN, F.L.S. M.R.P.S. M.K.S. &c. &c. "We have now before us the pleasing fruit of Captain Brown's labour and investigation. Setting out with the early history of the horse, and tracing it to the present period, the author next goes through the various breeds, and finally enlivens the whole with the accounts of feats and other memorabilia, which are well calculated to astonish and amuse."-London Literary Gazette.

"A useful and amusing book, which is ornamented with a number of prints of celebrated horses, drawn in a very spirited manner. The engravings are also very clever works of art."Examiner.

"We have here a very comprehensive and interesting work, comprising a great mass of wellarranged information-the work may be strongly recommended."-Weekly Dispatch.

"Captain Brown's work is an entertaining and instructive miscellany. Pleasanter gossip than that of horses we do not know, and richer food for it cannot be found, or in greater abundance, than in this volume."-Spectator.

"Those who have any relish for this noble animal-any wish to know its history and habitswill find all they want in Captain Brown's book, which, we understand, has already had an excellent run. There are nine excellent plates, and nearly 600 pages of letter-press."-New North Briton.

A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON BREEDING, REARING, AND FATTENING, ALL KINDS OF DOMESTIC POULTRY, PHEASANTS, PIGEONS, AND RABBITS; including, also, an interesting Account of the Egyptian Method of Hatching Eggs by Artificial Heat, with some Modern Experiments thereon; also, on Breeding, Feeding, and Managing Swine, Milch Cows, and Bees. By BONINGTON MOUBRAY, Esq. A new Edition, being the Sixth, enlarged by a TREATISE on BREWING, making CIDER, BUTTER, and CHEESE, adapted to the Use of Private Families. Price 7s. 6d. in boards.

**"Mr. Moubray's little book on the breeding, rearing, and fattening all kinds of domestic poultry and pigs, is unquestionably the most practical work on the subject in our language. The author's aim seems to have been to avoid scientific detail, and to convey his information in plain and intelligible terms. The convenience of a small poultry-yard-two or three pigs, with a breeding sow-and a cow, for cream, milk, butter, and cheese-in an English country-house, appears indispensable; and to point out how these may be obtained, at a reasonable expense, seems to have been Mr. Moubray's object. By adopting the plan of his work, any family may furnish their table with these luxuries at one-third of the price they are obliged to pay at the markets; and the farmer and breeder may render it the source of considerable profit. He is evidently a good practical Farmer, thoroughly conversant with Rural Economy in all its branches; his book is written in a light, lively, Kitchener style, and, like the works of that celebrated gastronome, conveys, at least, as much amusement as information. Were any testimony wanted, as to its practical utility, it would be found in the declaration of an eminent rural economist, Sir John Sinclair, who pronounces it the best Work hitherto printed' on the subject of which it treats."-Farmers' Journal.

ARTICLES OF GREAT UTILITY,

MANUFACTURED BY

S. MORDAN AND CO.

THE PATENT EVER-POINTED PENCIL

Is an instrument universally allowed to be of the greatest utility, and particularly recommended to the public when made with that mathematical nicety on which its use depends. The Patentees inform the public that all Pencils having steel points are not of their make; and to avoid all inconvenience, the following remarks on purchasing will ensure them a genuine article:-See the Pencil has the name, "S. Mordan and Co., Makers and Patentees," on the body of the case.

The Patentees have, in many instances, discovered that the purchaser has paid as much for these spurious Pencils as for the genuine silver and gold article. Shopkeepers in Provincial Towns would do well to observe the above remarks, to prevent their being imposed upon, the public being much inconvenienced in not being supplied with the genuine article.

BOX OF LEADS.

PATENT LEADS.-The great advantage these Genuine Leads have over all others, is derived from the mathematical nicety with which they are made; for unless the Leads are exactly the size, they either drop through or choke up the Silver Pencil-case, and render it useless, at the same time creating an unjust prejudice against that useful pocket appendage.

S. Mordan and Co., having had very numerous complaints made to them by persons using their Patent Everpointed Pencils, having had the spurious leads sold to them, which choke and spoil the case, request their friends, by way of caution, to be at the trouble of looking if the Packets they are purchasing is a fac simile of the above, and bearing an impression from their seal S. M. and Co.

MAKERS. LONDON

PENCILS.

Artists and others are particularly requested to try their Black Lead Pencils in Cedar, made from the pure Cumberland lead, selected with the greatest care; they have been pronounced, by the most competent judges of the day, the best extant. (See J. D. Harding's Work on Pencil Drawings.) This article is patronized by all the Government offices.

JOINT PEN-HOLDER.

PORTABLE QUILL PENS.-There are many persons who do not like Steel Pens, ed and prefer the Quill; to those the Portable Quill Pens, and Silver-joint Pen-holder, are particularly recommended; in Boxes containing Fifty and One Hundred. "S. M. & Co. Makers," are marked on each Box, and are warranted.

LONDON'S

QUILL PENS.

PARISIAN SPRING PENHOLDER.

PATENT PARISIAN SPRING PENHOLDER.--The advantages derived from the use of this Penholder, arises from the lower end of it being attached to a spring, which allows the Pen to move over an uneven surface without the risk of Blotting or spurting the Ink.

Patent
Triple-pointed Pen.

The peculiarity of this Pen, either in its straight or oblique form, is the addition of a third Nib, which secures the following advantages:

1. A certain supply of Ink of any kind, uniform with the most rapid writing.

2. The two nibs of the ordinary Pen act only as dividers or tracers, while the third Nib, pressing upon the paper, conducts and distributes the Ink.

3. The third Nib renders the same Pen capable of writing the boldest text, or finest running hand.

4. The third Nib retains a larger supply of Ink, without risk of blotting. [See Laws of Fluids.]

5. The third Nib, acting in the slit of the Pen, effectually removes the fibres as they are gathered from the paper, thereby removing the greatest impediment to the use of metallic Pens.

6. Firmness in use is obtained by the third Nib, and at the same time, the flexibility is increased, and durability necessarily follows. *Use the improved joint-holder made expressly for these Pens.

GENERAL PURPOSES.

THE PATENT OBLIQUE PEN,

The only straight Pen. This peculiarity is owing to the slit being parallel to the angular slope of the writing, which gives it that freedom in use which is unequalled by any other pen by the direction in which both nibs are brought into use at the same time, the writer is not operating upon one edge of the nib, and the contrary edge of the other at the same instant, but upon the square surfaces or points of both together. Both nibs are thus brought into constantly equal wear, and a freedom is secured which no other metal pen ever possessed. The Patent Oblique Pen is the most perfect hitherto offered.
