May 20.. WW. THE [2d Bd.] R. WHOLE EMPIRE UNITED In concurrent Testimony to the Superlative Excellence of the PATENT PERRYIAN PENS, Recently infinitely improved in their manufacture. Price per Sealed Packet, containing Nine Pens, 38, 6d. The Patentee warrants these Pens to write, without mending for an indefinite period and with excellence for a longer time, than any other Pens whatever. He also warrants them to write faster, and (if the Writer's time is of any value) to be cheaper, than any other pers whatever. Finally, he warrants them to produce Writing more superlatively beautiful (and, if necessary, more exquisitely fine), than can be produced by any other kind of pen whatever, whether it be the goose or crow quill, the Birmingham or any other Metallic Pen, or the costly Ruby and Rhodium (selling at from 15s. to 30s. per single pen). The Pens in the Packets are those with, 1. Medium Points; 2. Fine Points; 3. Broad Points; and, 4. Perfectionated Soft with Medium Points. The Packets containing the second and the fourth kinds are most recommended for, by far the greater number of writers. The Patent Perryian Pens are sold wholesale and retail by JAMES PERRY (Patentee of the Perryian Pens), 37, Red Lion Square, London. They may also be had genuine, throughout the whole of the British Empire, and in every place abroad, of all Booksellers, Stationers, Silversmiths, Jewellers, Toy and Hardware-men, Writing-case Manufacturers, Perfumers, Druggists, &c. by only observing that the Pens are in a sealed packet, having on it the Patentee's signature, The Imitation of this Signature is Felony. Jamis TESTIMONY OF THE WHOLE EMPIRE UNITED. "The strong terms in which these pens now come recommended from every quarter, are worth the perusal of most readers. Testimony so forcible and fuil, has completely satisfied us that the pretensions of the Patentee are real, and that the article is of great national utility. " UNITED KINGDOM. "We are inclined to think, from the decided advantages which the Perryian Pen affords the man of business or of literature, in common with the finest writer, that there can be little doubt that it will be shortly used to the exclusion of all other pens.' MORNING CHRONICLE. "It is remarkable in how very short a period the use of the Perryian Pens has become little less than universal. We infer this from the large proportion of Post-office letters, the paper stamp of which expresses that the paper is made for the Perryian Pens, a large number of which letters, moreover, are written by persons of the highest class, as Ladies of Title, Dukes, Marquises, Earls, Bishops, and Members of Parliament." THE COURIER. "Having carefully and dispassionately examined and used the various kinds of Metallic Pens, we are come to the opinion, that, with the exception of the Perryian Pens, they will prove to be very injurious to all those who use them, by spoiling their hands. Any pen, which does not possess the natural softness of the quill, accustoms the writer to bear on the paper so hard, as rapidly and irreparably to spoil his hand, and also speedily to unfit him for writing with ease and comfort to himself, with any pen whatever. The ordinary Metallic Pens, at the first appearance, seem soft; but it is an unnatural and delusive softness-the softness of distension, not of flexibility, and will inevitably produce the injurious, effects described. From this general censure, we have excepted the Patent Perryian Pens, as they do possess the flexibility of the quill-pen, and all its natural softness. It were to be wished that the endless attempts at imitation to which the Perryian Pen has given rise, had been more successful, or that they had never been made," ST. JAMES'S CHRONICLE. "For some months we entertained a deep prejudice against the Perryian Pens, in consequence of some of the common Birming These pencils contain the same quality of pure Cumber Pencils. S. M. & Co. have been induced to go extensively i improved machinery, from the very frequent applications for neers, who are desirous of obtaining with certainty the patronized by his Majesty's Stationery Office, London. N. B. Please to ask for S. Mordan & Co.'s pure Cumb name stamped upon them; by so doing, purchasers will ensur ham Pens having been sold to us, for the Perryian; a friend, however, having noticed to us, that the Perryian Pens had the Aperture between the point and the shoulders, we applied to the Patentee for the genuine Pens, and found them, if used with the Perryian Ink, every thing that we could wish. The person, indeed, does not live who could make such pens with a penknife, Having since had occasion to know that the Birmingham pens, as well as other kinds, are very generally sold as the Perryian, we recommend the public to guard against imposition. The genuine Perryian Pens can be secured, only by purchasing them in packets under the Patentee's scal." THE BRITISH Traveller. "It is remarkable, that, ever since the use of the Patent Perryian Pens has been becoming general, excellent writing has been becoming general too." THE WORLD. "We can with confidence recommend our readers to use Perry's Patent Pens, having tried them ourselves for some time, -and we can assure our friends that a single trial will acquaint them with what may be termed the luxury of a good pen." MANCHESTER COURIER. "The comparative merits of the Perryian Pens have now been most fully and satisfactorily ascertained; and have become the subject of remark in every quarter where they have been introduced. The Globe paper, some weeks since, had an article highly recommendatory of them, which we copied into our columns of the 7th ult." PLYMOUTH AND DEVONPORT JOURNAL. "The Perryian Pens are every day gaining in public favor, as the sentiments of the London and Provincial press sufficiently evince." BRISTOL JOURNAL. "We observed, a few days ago, an immensely large iron-bound box proceeding down Fleet Street, on which was inscribed, in conspicuous characters, PATENT PERRYIAN PENS,' and addressed to a merchant of Philadelphia. Reflecting on the diminutive size of one of the Pens, and on the immensity of the box, which certainly did not contain fewer than twenty-four cubic feet, we could not help dwelling with admiration on the fact, that these Pens, which, from their real utility, and intrinsic excellence, have, in a few months only, obtained general use throughout the British empire, should now be acquiring little less than universality in the United States of America." MERCANTILE JOURNAL. From "In consequence of finding the usual inks unsuitable for the Perryian Pens, we obtained the Perryian Ink this was all we could desire; for the pens, which before seemed to admit of improvement, we now found to be the ne plus ultra of art. so satisfactory a resuit, we took occasion to ascertain more particularly the properties of the Perryian Ink, and are of opinion that no modern ink is equal to it, whatever kind of pen is used. Some of the ancient inks, doubtless, formed an exception in one particular,-durability; but, eren in this, the Perryian must be considered as equal to any of them, for it remains unchanged in its color, after being submitted for many hours to the heat of the hottest oven." THE Observes. "The Perryian Ink being indispensable to the far famed Perryian Pens, in order to prevent inconvenience from being felt wherever the writer may happen to be, either for want of the Ink or of the Pens, the Patentee has contrived a pocket and cabinet Reservoir for both, which, on account of its utility, simplicity, neatness, and diminutive size, we recommend to all.” THE PUBLIC Ledger. "Fashion displays itself in every thing,we at present see it in Letter Paper ;-for Perry's Letter Paper stamped “Perfection ated tinted blue" is now becoming general among the very highest class of society. We suppose this preference is attributable to the satisfaction which the Patent Perrian Pens have undoubtedly given in that direc MORNING POST tion." "We have used the Letter Paper manufactured by the Patentee of the Perryian Pen, and find it,-particularly that stamped "Perfectionated tinted blue”—totally unequalled for writers who use that valuable instrument." THE NEWS. "In expressing our admiration of the ingenuity displayed in the Perryian Pens, and of the great satisfaction and pleasure we have derived from using this most valuable invention, we ought not to pass over unnoticed its cheapness. Infinitely surpassing the Rhodium and the Ruby Pens, each of which costs from 15s. to 30s., the Perryian Pens are sold at the rate of nine for 3s. 6d. Justice to the Patentee also requires us to add, that similar economy of charge is observable in every other thing that is used in connexion with that pen ;-as the Perryian Ink, Perfectionated Letter Paper, Perryian Pen & Ink Reservoir, &c." THE STANDARD. Here might follow, did the space allow it, extracts from all the daily, weekly, and periodical press of the entire Empire, with scarcely a single exception, in which the tone of eulogy is not less remarkable, nor the terms of commendation less decisive, than in the preceding passages, which are submitted as fair specimens of the whole.

A Pair of Pillar Compasses with Patent Pencils. S. MORDAN & Co. The spurious pencils bear Respectfully solicit the public attention to the frauds which are daily practised upon them as regards heir Patent Ever-Pointed Pencils, and the leads for refilling the same. he appearance of being made of silver, when, in fact, in many instances they are nothing but white etal, and the action so bad as to cause great annoyance to those using them. The public are also uch imposed upon with the spurious articles sold for leads, being nothing more than antimony and panish dust, which is of no comparative value to the beautiful, and in fact invaluable Cumberland ead; also their not being of a size renders them useless. To guard the public against the above mpositions, the patentees are induced to make the following remarks: ist. Look for the London Goldsmith's Company's Hall Mark, on each silver pencil case. 2nd. The name of S. Mordan and Co., Patentees and Makers, on the body of the case. 3rd. The genuine leads contained in leather or paper boxes have a yellow belt, bearing S. M - Co.'s seal. 4th. The spurious leads have the word "for" or "as," in small characters, before the name S. Tordan & Co. Attention to this will immediately detect. Portable Pens and Pen-holders. The Portable Pen Boxes also have a yellow belt, bearing S. M. & Co.'s seal. The Pen-holders ear the London Hall Mark, which ensures their being silver. The spurious pen-holders are nothing ut white metal, which the acid affects, and consequently become a nuisance in use. Cedar Pencils. These pencils contain the same quality of pure Cumberland lead as their silver Ever-Pointed encils. S. M. & Co. have been induced to go extensively into the manufacture of this article, with proved machinery, from the very frequent applications for them from artists, architects, and engieers, who are desirous of obtaining with certainty the pure Cumberland lead. atronized by his Majesty's Stationery Office, London. We are also N. B. Please to ask for S. Mordan & Co.'s pure Cumberland Lead Pencils, which bear their me stamped upon them; by so doing, purchasers will ensure themselves a genuine article. The Lock manufactured by S. Mordan & Co., with seven guards, almost universally employed by Government, and fully appreciated by scientific men, is yet little understood by the Public. To obtain for it the patronage it deserves, S. Mordan & Co. earnestly solicit attention to the following points, in which it excels every other lock : 1. Its absolute inviolability by picking, or procuring a duplicate key. 2. The portability of the key. 3. The infinite variety of which the key is susceptible, and the power of producing it by an apparatus which of necessity causes every successive key to differ from all which have preceded it. 4. The difficulty of imitating the key, which is so great, that good workmen have failed to make a successful copy when the key has been placed in their hands for the purpose. 5. The impossibility of taking an impression, which is so easy in every other key, with sealing war. 6. The importance of every part of the key, which completely excludes those fertile sources of fraud, skeleton or duplicate keys, so easily obtained, and which prevents the imposition too often practised, of exhibiting apparent security in the key, but which has no counterpart in the lock. 7. The unlimited durability of the lock, which arises from its acting by mere pressure, instead, as in all others, of rubbing. This lock was never known to wear out, or to become sensibly altered by use. This in the end renders it the cheapest. 8. Safety is given in the absence of the principal to private stock, private papers, &c. The most serious losses take place by the use of duplicate keys, which enable the dishonest to re-lock to lull suspicion; the lock made by S. Mordan & Co. is a sure preventive. Scientific gentlemen, and others, are respectfully solicited to visit the manufactory of S. Mordan & Co. 22, Castle Street, Finsbury, where the truth of all these statements will be rendered evident from an inspection of the lock, and the machinery by which it is made. The following is a list of the prices at which locks may be obtained from respectable dealers in every town of the United Kingdom: Bureau, Double-link Chest, or Box Locks A Box of Guards for Bankers, Iron Safes, and Strong Rooms RIM LOCKS. Four-inch Flush Dead Locks. Drawback, ditto. Four-inch Rim Dead, one side. 7s. and upwards. 8s. 6d. do. 10s. Od. do. £2 Os. Od. do. Six-inch two-sided, ditto Ten-inch Rim, a very strong secure lock for out doors. Park Gate, Iron Gate, and locks of every description in proportion to their size, from the Cabinet to the strongest Prison Door. N. B. The usual reduction to the Trade will be made. S.
