THE MOST PERFECT FAMILY SEWING MACHINE.-The

idea which has been forced upon the public by cunning manufacturers who had no better hobby to ride, that for a family machine it must be a Lock-stitch, has at last found a level, and many who had been persuaded into this belief have now found solace for their tortured feelings in exchanging their noisy and troublesome companion for the charming little WILLCOX and GIBBS MACHINE. This little fairy conducts itself in a manner becoming the companion of a lady. Its stitches are numbered by thousands in a minute, and with such quietness that the sleeping infant is not in the least disturbed by this" promoter of comfort." Willing slave to the lady's hand, the silen rapidity with which it converts fabrics of all kinds into clothing of every description is peculiarly astonishing Well may the Manufacturers of the Willcox and Gibbs Machine be proud of such an achievement. aud the whole world rejoice that they can so easily possess such a boon.

THE

HE FAMOUS FIRST FOLIO (1623) SHAKESPEARE, in fac-simile, by Photo-Lithography, under the supervision of HOWARD STAUNTON. This extraordinary and infallible reproduction of the First Folio Shakespeare may be considered more perfect than any one of the most complete and almost priceless original 'copies in existence. This excellence and accuracy are attributable to the facilities that have been enjoyed of making the PhotoLithographs from three of the finest known copies of the work; and thus, if a weak or imperfect page appeared in one, the same page was found in a more perfect state in another of the copies, and worked from in preference. Thus, by the regenerative process of Photo-Lithography, the First Folio itself, as near as may be, is put within the reach of all classes, and commands a wide support in acknowledgment of the enterprise that has turned into such a current this new and invaluable art.

PRESS NOTICES.

"The first specimen of their photo-lithographic fac-simile which Messrs. Day and Son have just turned out, under the care of Mr. Howard Staunton, will be regarded by Shakespearian scholars with unqualified satisfaction. It is not the original-that is all which can be said against it—but it is, we believe, as near the original as it is possible for any fac-simile to be. In go far as we have seen, it is a miracle of accuracy that will rejoice the hearts of all true Shakespearians. The fac-simile of these 64 pages cannot but surprise any one who looks into it; and what a treasure it is may be estimated from the fact that a copy of the original folio has sold for £250."-The Times. "But the grand condition of a certain text-a trustworthy reproduction of the 'original-is here obtained. All other things are of lesser importance. A critic can use this work with undoubting faith in its literary accuracy, untroubled by his recollection of the 360 blunders which were found by Upcott in the reprint of 1807. The reproduction is not made from a single copy, but from the best pages of the two best copies of the folio known-the one in Bridgewater House, the other in the British Museum. So far we can warmly congratulate Mr. Staunton and Messrs. Day and Son on their success."-The Athenæum.

Terms of the Re-publication of the First Folio. The Work, which will consist of about 960 folio pages, will be printed on superfine toned paper, and be appropriately bound. Price £8 8s.
