LOT 3.
SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT,
at present the property of Lord Normanby. Is admirably calculated for
any one of a literary turn of mind, offering resources peculiarly
adapted for a proper cultivation of the Jack Sheppard and James
Hatfield "men-of-elegant-crimes" school of novel-writing--the
archives of Newgate and Horsemonger-lane being open at all times to
the inspection of the favoured purchaser.
"YES" OR "NO"
will determine the sale of this desirable lot in a few days.
LOT 4.
SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS,
now in the occupancy of Lord Palmerston. Possesses advantages rarely
to be met with. From its connexion with the continental powers, Eau
de Cologne, bear's grease, and cosmetics of unrivalled excellence,
can be procured at all times, thus insuring the favour of the divine
sex,
"From the rich peasant-cheek of bronze,
And large black eyes that flash on you a volley
Of rays, that say a thousand things at once,
To the high dama's brow more melancholy."
The only requisite (besides money) for this desirable lot is, that
the purchaser must write a bold round hand for
PROTOCOLS,
understand French and Chinese, and be an
EXPERT TURNER.
