Act, and accomplish the requisite changes, consistently with the
public sense of fitness and propriety.
This Association, therefore, brings before the country an
efficacious means of obviating, for the future, the necessity or any
approach to the evils of the old system, in accordance with the
general feeling and opinion on the subject, and in strict and active
furtherance of the law as it now stands.
The considerations which the Association desire to lay before the
public arrange themselves under the following general heads:—
The well-known and acknowledged difficulty and danger of the old
process, and the dangerous exposure and risk to property, in
large masses, from the imperfect performance of former
methods.
The harsh, not to say hard and cruel, treatment of the infant
sweeper, from a necessity (in a certain degree, perhaps)
inseparable from the nature of the old process, and the effects
of prescriptive custom, as exercised by unenlightened masters.
The unerring and perfect performance of the Association’s new
Machinery, coupled with its simplicity of construction, its great
effective power, and its ease of management.
The great importance of its certain effect in the immediate extinction
of accidental fire in chimneys.
The great practical economy effected to the public through the
perfect operation of the Machines, and the consequent
incalculable increase of convenience in the domestic
arrangements,—as all the chimneys of a house can be perfectly
swept at one visit, in much less time than is now required; with a
guaranteed security, for the due performance of the specific duty
undertaken, and against injury or loss from carelessness,
mismanagement, or depredation.
The Association has also in view the very important objects of
affording complete relief to the entire class of sweeping adults
and children, by elevating them from their present degraded and
 enslaved condition to the rank of well-ordered, decently-
appointed, and justly-paid workmen.
The date of each application for sweeping chimneys in a house, and
of the execution of the order, with the names of the workmen
employed, will be entered in the books of the Association, at
their principal office, 34, Foley-place: thus affording satisfactory
proof, in cases of fire, of the chimneys having been properly
swept, where the cause of fire may be the subject of legal
controversy; and preventing any disposition on the part of the
labourer to commit petty offences, from the absolute certainty of
immediate detection.
The PATENT RAMONEUR ASSOCIATION, to carry out these
great objects, have appointed respectable persons as Agents to
receive orders; and will employ workmen of known good character,
provided with suitable dresses to carry on the operation; giving them
thus a cleaner and more decent appearance, when not absolutely
employed at work, than is at present witnessed; and who, in lieu of
the scanty and precarious pittance hitherto allowed them, will receive
wages of sufficient amount to afford them the comforts and secure to
them the self-respect enjoyed by other mechanical labourers.
The Association beg to inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Public,
that, under these arrangements, on application being made at the
Central Office, a workman and assistant will attend with the Machine,
and, if necessary at the first trial, the Superintendent will himself be
present at the operation. The usual rate charged for each chimney,
under the old system of Machinery, will not be exceeded; and should
it be desired, houses may be contracted for by the year, on the same
terms as heretofore; no extra charge being made for machinery, or
for the greater convenience, cleanliness, and security of property,
afforded by the arrangements of the Association.
W. S. TROTTER, Secretary.
Superintendent, Mr. W. Speller, 30, Berkeley-street West, Edgware-
road.
 ⁂ In connexion with this establishment, the Association has
introduced a Patent Chimney-pot, which effectually cures the
downward draught, and supersedes the use of “cowls,” which cannot
escape fracture by the Machinery employed in sweeping the
chimneys.

G. EVANS respectfully yet fearlessly submits the following SCALE
of CONTRACTS to the careful perusal of gentlemen who have been
accustomed to pay exorbitant prices, and to assure them that the
articles will be of the best materials and workmanship, as he intends
to continue that honest and just principle of doing business which he
has hitherto pursued, and which he is happy to find has given such
general satisfaction. His long experience in cutting has qualified him
to give a good fit, and his matured judgment enables him to select
none but the best materials.
Naval and Military Uniforms strictly to regulation, with a careful
regard to economy. Liveries unusually low, considering the superior
articles invariably supplied. Ladies’ Riding Habits, not to be
surpassed in style, quality, or price. Young Gentlemen’s Clothing at

OIL and LAMP PHENOMENA, and NO PUFF.—CLARK and CO., oil

refiners by chemical process, 261, Strand, and 16, Picket-street, sell
their UNEQUALLED CLARIFIED OIL, at 4s. 10d. per gallon, suitable
for every description of lamp in present use. Four gallons go as far
as five gallons of solar or other common oils, and therefore their
Clarified Oil is cheapest. Lamps burning it require no cleaning, on
account of its purity. It produces a splendid light, without smoke, if
their fire-proof smoke consuming glasses are used; but burns quite
equal to sperm with the common glasses. Oil lamps, best
workmanship and newest style, at manufacturer’s prices: for
instance, excellent table lamps, 21s., usually 38s.; Cambridge
reading or writing lamps, superior, 11s. 9d., usually 21s.; hall lamps
from 2s. 9d.; very superb drawing and dining room lamps, 45s. 9d.,
usually 84s.; beautiful brass and real bronze reading lamps, 15s. 9d.,
usually 30s. These are only specimens of prices. Chandelier designs
to be seen in great variety. Clarified oil, 4s. 10d. imperial gallon; fire-
proof chimneys, 1s. only.—CLARK and CO., 16, Pickett-street, or
261, Strand, three doors from the stone pillars, opposite St.
Clement’s Church, and not a corner shop. To prevent impositions,
observe, strictly, Clark and Co. stamped on the glasses, and sealed
on the oil corks. Books of designs of lamps (for every use) forwarded
free to any part of the kingdom.

begs to return his most grateful thanks to the Nobility and Gentry for
the liberal patronage he has received, and trusts by strict attention to
merit a continuance of their favours.

 AUSTIN & SEELEY,
NEW ROAD, LONDON,
(Corner of Cleveland Street.)

AUSTIN and SEELEY respectfully invite the attention of Builders,

Masons, and others to their extensive Collection of Ornaments,
manufactured in Artificial Stone, of their own peculiar Composition,
without either the use of Roman Cement or the application of Heat.
They are also ready to execute New Models on the lowest
remunerating terms. Their present Stock consists of—
Capitals and Fluted Columns; Trusses, Brackets, and Modillions;
the Royal Arms and Prince of Wales’s Feathers; Centre Ornaments
for Entablatures and Bas-Relievos; Balustrading and Coping, for
which, as their work is waterproof, it is well suited; Rustic and Rough
Stone Facing, and Pier Ornaments, such as Pine-Apples, &c.; Gothic
Work in great variety, including Fonts, Communion Tables, and
Screens; Tazzas and Vases, to the extent of nearly One Hundred
Models; Flower-Boxes, and Garden-Border Edging; Fountains, from
£6 and upwards; Monumental Urns; Figures—Statues from the
antique, as well as some chaste subjects of modern design, Animals,
Birds, &c.; Chimneys and Chimney-Pots, from 1 foot 10 inches to 10
feet high. (As these are so bulky, a portion of Roman Cement is
introduced for economy’s sake.)
N.B. A complete Specimen-Sheet of their Chimneys may be had by
application to A. and S.
 MOST IMPORTANT INVENTION.
THE PATENT STUCCO PAINT CEMENT.—This truly valuable
preparation, the satisfactory result of a long series of experiments,
after having been subjected to the most rigid tests, is now offered
with confidence to the public, as possessing the following
extraordinary qualities, which must at once insure for it a preference
over any Cement yet manufactured.
Architects, Engineers, Contractors, Builders, Masons, Plasterers,
and the Trade are referred to the undermentioned properties of this
valuable discovery, which is secured by Patent to its Inventors and
Proprietors.
1. Its strong adhesive properties, fixing most tenaciously to the
smoothest surfaces, even to glass.
2. Its being highly repellent of water, and thoroughly impervious to
wet or damp.
3. The chemical peculiarity of its composition does not admit of the
possibility of its vegetating, and thereby becoming discoloured.
4. The safe and gradual rapidity with which it dries; hardening the
more by the greater exposure to the atmosphere.
5. Its perfect freedom from any of the caustic qualities of Lime
Stuccoes; and consequently,
6. It may be painted upon as soon as dry, a property possessed by
no other Cement whatever.
7. It is not in the slightest degree affected by frost.
8. It may be kept in the cask as delivered from the Manufactory for
any length of time without deterioration, not requiring to be used (as
other Cements are) immediately after being manufactured. To
Merchants, therefore, and Exporters, even to the remotest parts of
the globe, this Cement will form a most important item of commerce.
 9. To Engineers and Conductors of Public Works, the use of this
Cement is strongly recommended in lieu of mortar, particularly in the
construction of Railway Arches and Tunnelling; its peculiarly
tenacious property forming one hardened mass with the brick or
masonry, or with whatever material it may be used; and it will be
found particularly valuable in laying and pointing roofs, whether of
slate or tile, in the most exposed situations, rendering the whole roof
fixed and immoveable.
This Cement is sold in a fluid state, fit for its mixture with the sand,
at 14s. per cwt.: the proportions being one fourth-part of the fluid to
three-fourths of sand, thereby reducing the price of this Cement
considerably below that of any other yet offered to the public.
One coat of the Cement, so prepared, is sufficient to cover at once
a Brick Front, without any preparatory coat of lime, seven pounds of
the fluid Cement being consumed in covering the square yard; but
when laid on Lime Plaster, four pounds’ weight to the square yard
will be found enough.
Messrs. Johns and Co., of Plymouth (the Patentees), are now
prepared to execute orders to any extent; and beg to intimate that
they have appointed Messrs. Mann and Co., of No. 5, Maiden-lane,
Queen-street, London, as their Sole Agents, at whose Warehouse
any quantity may be procured, specimens may be seen, and every
information obtained, and to whom all communications are to be
addressed.

are unacquainted with the Pianoforte.
