story is, like all those by the same author, delightfully

many a hearty laugh over it.”—_Morning Post._

woodcuts.”—_North British Daily Mail._

THE INEXHAUSTIBLE MAGIC INKSTAND

_Is Patented in Great Britain and her Colonies, France, the United
States, and other Countries. It is manufactured to produce Black,
Coral Red, Violet, Sky Blue, Sea Green, Panzy, and Copying
Black Inks, in stands from Four Shillings upwards._

Producing Ink for every-day use for more than a Hundred Years.
Various Models in Porcelain, Crystal, Wood, Bronze, &c. are in
preparation.

NOTICE.—This little apparatus contains a chemical product unknown
in the arts. The composition, which possesses remarkable colouring
properties, is soluble in cold water; but, by a peculiar arrangement
in the interior, the water dissolving the product can only become,
as it were, saturated with it, but without diluting the material or
converting it into pulp or syrup.

The material acting like a soluble salt, the solution having attained
a certain degree of density, it remains stable, without precipitate,
and the liquid, always limpid, constitutes an Ink of a doubly superior
character, rivalling in all respects the best modern Inks.

MESSRS. SAMPSON LOW & CO. _and_ MESSRS. HACHETTE &
CO. _are the Proprietors and Patentees_.

CHISWICK PRESS:—PRINTED BY WHITTINGHAM AND WILKINS,
TOOKS COURT, CHANCERY LANE.

Obvious printing errors, such as backwards, upside down, reversed, or partially printed letters and punctuation, were corrected. Final stops missing at the end of sentences and abbreviations were added. Extra spaces between letters were removed. Duplicate sidenotes were removed.

The following items were changed:
