The manufacture of this Ink is conducted by them on sound Chemical Principles, under the personal supervision of an eminent Chemist, a Fellow of the Royal Society, who, for many years, has given his attention and research io the perfecting of Letterpress Ink.

This Ink possesses the property of keeping the Roller in good working order, so as never to loose the grip. It distributes freely-works sharp and clean-washes easily off the types-dries readily on paper, and sets off but little. Colour deep and permanent, never changing to the brown.

It does not skin in the barrel or dry on the roller, and is entirely divested of that unpleasant effluvium so injurious to the health of the workmen. Scottish Chemical Works,

Leith, 1851.

J. BARRETT AND CO., As Agents for England, having now had several months' experience in the sale of the above Inks, have every confidence in further introducing them to the notice of the Trade, as fully bearing out in every respect the recommendation of the manufacturers as given above.

Lists of prices and terms will be forwarded, on application to
