DEALER IN MARINE LIVING

SEA-WEED, ARTIFICIAL SEA- WATER 

 AND MARINE AND FRE8H-WATEB[ 

 AQUARIA. 



A Stock of small Aquaria, ready fitted up

 Life, always on hand, at very moderate prices. 



Valisneria, Cliara, Nitella, Anacharis, and 

 other living fresh- water Plants, Insects, Mol- 

 lusks. Fish, &c. 



THE MARINE AQUARIUM. 



A great variety of Marine Animal Life can 

 be preserved in health and vigour in these 

 Aquaria, without trouble to the possessor. 

 The difficulty of procuring a supply of Sea- 

 water for occasional renewal has been for 

 some time completely overcome by the suc- 

 cessful composition of Artificial Sea-water, 

 in which the Animals and Plants thrive and 

 grow. 



The smaller Aquaria, when fitted up with 

 pieces of rock, shells and sea-weed, and stocked 

 with animal life, are objects of the highest 

 interest and beauty ; and they yield to the 

 observer the hitherto unattainable pleasure of 

 watching at his ease, in liis own apartments, 

 the curious inhabitants of the Ocean. 



PIANOFORTES, 25 Guineas 

 each. — D'ALMAINE & CO., 20. Soho 

 Square, London (established 1785), respectfully 

 intimate that in addition to their ROYAL 

 PIANOFORTES, 6J octaves, in rosewood and 

 mahogany, at 25 Guineas, they have opened 

 new show rooms for the exhibition of their 

 ROYAL CONCERT PIANOFORTES, with 

 repeater action, suited for apartments of the 

 largest sire, possessing the tone, touch, and 

 advantages of tlie grand, without its magni- 

 tude and expense. Price 40 Guineas. Every 

 Instrument warranted. The peculiar ad- 

 vantages of these Pianofortes are best described 

 in the following professional testimonial, 

 signed by the majority of the leading musi- 

 cians of the age: — "We, the undersigned 

 members of the musical profession, having 

 carefully examined the Royal Pianofortes 

 manufactured by MESSRS. D'ALMAINE 

 & CO., have great pleasure in bearing tes- 

 timony to their merits and capHbilities. It ap- 

 pears to us impossible to produce instruments 

 of the same size possessing a richer and finer 

 tone, more elastic touch, or more equal tem- 

 perament, while the elegance of their construc- 

 tion renders them a handsome ornament for 

 the library, boudoir, or drawing-room. (Signed)
