Doctor Gerhard, of Jena, used to write in his books a Latin inscription, thus translated:--"I belong to Gerhard's library; take care neither to soil nor tear me; neither keep me in your possession out of the library more than one month. Do not steal me." * * * * * TO THE PUBLIC. _With the present Number of the_ Mirror _is published a_ SUPPLEMENTARY SHEET, _half of which is occupied by_ THREE ENGRAVINGS, _viz. an authorized Ground Plan of_ St. JAMES'S _and the_ GREEN PARKS--_a View of_ BUCKINGHAM NEW PALACE, _and of the_ GRAND ENTRANCE _to the_ PALACE GARDENS _at Hyde Park Corner. The Supplement also contains minute references and descriptions of the above Engravings, and the_ REPORT _of the_ EXPEDITIONS _of Captains Parry and Franklin, recently returned to England. The daily increasing interest of the above subjects (which so largely engross the public attention) cannot fail to render the above Number proportionally acceptable to our readers; whilst the illustrations will recommend themselves by the fidelity of the sources from which they are executed_. * * * * * _Printed and published by J. LIMBIRD, 143, Strand, (near Somerset House,) and sold by all Newsmen and Booksellers_. |
