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_.
