'It is of greatest concernment in the Church and Commonwealth to have a vigilant eye how books demean themselves as well as men, and thereafter to confine, imprison, and do sharpest justice on them as malefactors; for books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are.'-Milton.

Agents wanted where none are appointed. 23 FOR INDIA, CRIMEA, ALDERSHOTT, AND THE CURRAGH. FUSEE CANDLE COOKING LAMPS, TO TOURISTS, TRAVELLERS, AND OTHERS. Sold Wholesale by PALMER & Co, Sutton-street, Clarke's Patent Fusee Candle Cooking Lamp. This is an invention which answers the purpose of a cooking utensil, a looking-glass, and a lamp. It can furnish a dinner in one hour, and can be carried from place to place with the greatest ease, it being only five inches broad, and twelve insis high. We strongly recommend it to military men and travellers in general, and beg to refer them to the article itself for particulars, which, for portability and usefulness, is superior to any thing we have yet seen.-Civil Service Gazette, April 7. The Soldier's Comforts. To military and naval men it must prove invaluable; with it and a day's rations, a man can laugh at the word 'privation and in the stillness of the night he has at hand a real domesti friend-not only a powerful light, but one which will add m terially to the warmth of his tent or room in cold weatherand during a summer campaign what time and trouble it must save, in not having to forage for fuel and fire to cook the required food.-United Service Gazette, April 7. As a camp, or ship, or travelling camarade, it is above all price; for not merely will it cook a meal impromptu, but it will also supply a brilliant light for the student in his tent or in his cabin; nor is this all: there is a mirror attached to the lamp, by which a person can shave and dress. The lamp opened, by closing the mirror, becomes a dark lantern, and the whole affair is so portable that it can be placed in the great-coat pocket. Need we say more than that the candle (or fuel) is exceedingly economical, to render the Fusee Candle Cooking Lamp' a most acceptable boon to the Army and Navy, and all whose vocation may lead them to travel ?-Naval and Military Gazette, April 7, 1855. It has been remarked that the present war has produced a very large proportion of inventions for the destruction of human life, and we are glad to have it in our power to notice one with an opposite tendency, which is likely to contribute to the wellbeing and comfort of the Army-we allude to a Candle Lamp, invented by Samuel Clarke, the completeness and efficacy of which we have had the opportunity of testing, and find it most admirably qualified for the various uses to which it may be applied. The light afforded for writing, or for the operations of the toilet, is most excellent; and he must be a sorry campaigner who could not, by the aid of these admirable Lamps, cook a very savoury mess. It is not only to the Army that this Lamp will be valuable, but it will also be found to add greatly to the comfort of the nursery and sick room, and to be highly useful to bachelors and emigrants. British Army Dispatch, April 6, 1855. THE PATENT FUSEE CANDLES can be instantly ignited as a lucifer; are made of HARD STEARINE; will KEEP GOOD FOR YEARS IN ANY CLIMATE. 24 |
