ANCIENT IRISH MINSTRELSY, by REV. W. HAMILTON DRUMMOND, D.D., M.R.S.A.
"A graceful addition to the lover of Ancient Minstrelsy, whether he be
Irishman or not. A man need not be English to enjoy the Chevy Chace, nor
Scotch to value the Border Minstrelsy. The extracts we have given from Dr.
Drummond's work, so full of force and beauty, will satisfy him, we trust,
he need not be Irish to enjoy the fruits of Dr. D.'s labours."--_The Dublin
Advocate._

CO., 4. Stationers' Hall Court.

PHOTOGRAPHIC CHEMICALS of absolute Purity, especially prepared for this
Art, may be procured from R. W. THOMAS, Operative Chemist, 10. Pall Mall,
whose well-known Preparation of Xylo-Iodide of Silver is pronounced by the
most eminent scientific men of the day to excel every other Photographic
Compound in sensitiveness, and in the marvellous vigour uniformly preserved
in the middle tints of pictures produced by it. MR. R. W. THOMAS cautions
Photographers against unprincipled persons who (from the fact of Xyloidin
and Collodion being synonymous terms) would lead them to imagine that the
inferior compound sold by them at half the price is identical with his
preparation. In some cases, even the name of MR. T.'s Xylo-Iodide of Silver
has been assumed. In order to prevent such dishonourable practice, each
bottle sent from his Establishment is stamped with a red label bearing his
signature, to counterfeit which is felony.
Prepared solely by R. W. THOMAS, Chemist, &c., 10. Pall Mall.
