be his peculiar m lions of a good pen , can find one to suit his hand . We have been favoured with samples of many descriptions of pen manufactured solely by this eminent and well known firm , ar . d really feel great pleasure in recommending them to our readers . We cordially endorse the numerous favourable criticisms that these nibs have been subjected to by the Press throughout the world , and quite agree with the feillowing now well-known lines :
