"THE LOUIS VELVETEEN."

LE FOLLET says, -For every purpose to which Velvet may be applied, we recommend the "LOUIS VELVETEEN."

THE MORNING POST says:-The "LOUIS VELVETEEN" possesses several advantages over

other Velveteens.

See also Opinions of The Queen, Whitehall Review, Myra's Journal, &c.

This Velveteen is now made in all the fashionable Colours, as well as in the Permanent Oriental Blue Black.

By means of a great improvement in the make, the wear of all qualities, even including the cheapest, can now be thoroughly relied on.

This celebrated Fabric can be had from all Drapers throughout the World.

Examine the reverse side, as the genuine article is stamped every yard the "LOUIS VELVETEEN in plain letters to prevent deception.

PREFACE TO THE FIFTH EDITION.

A

FIFTH EDITION of our Guide to Dublin and Wicklow being called for by the public, we have introduced into it a number of new engravings, which will we trust prove acceptable to our friends, and a plan of the city, corrected up to the latest possible date. The binding too has been improved and strengthened.

While thanking our friends for the demand which has made the reproduction of the Guide a necessity, we will take the opportunity of noting the few changes which have taken place since its last edition appeared.

The new bridge (mentioned on pp. 7-8) across the Liffey, opposite the Custom House, has been completed, and by the time this edition is in the hands of the public will have been opened. It will be a useful addition to the means of reaching the northern bank of the river, as it will relieve Carlisle Bridge of much of the heavy traffic and provide a "short cut" between the Westland Row railway station and the south of Dublin and the North Quay, whence start the steam-packets for Holyhead, Liverpool, and other parts of England. But like all other "short cuts," it may prove “a delusion and a snare." It is on the swing principle, and travellers will do well to be sure that it is closed before attempting to save time by crossing it. While on the subject of bridges, it will be well to note that the widening of Carlisle Bridge is progressing satisfactorily.

There has been no material change in the means of communication between the two countries. In the early part . of 1879 a project for running a steamer between Birkenhead and Dublin was ventilated-for a time successfully; but after a trip or two the vessel was put on another passage where there was a greater lack of accommodation, and we believe the scheme is still in abeyance.

The system of tramways (pp. 9-10) in Dublin has however
