"John Cas33M. still lives in the eleY&ting stream of literature for ever flowing from the great publishing house he founded. Few men have left a deeper mark on their age than John Cassell. He arrived in London in 1838, with all * bis belongings tied up in a ooloured handkerchief. At the various temperance meetings which he addressed, in a rough and uncultured manner, but with an earnestness that proved his attachment to temperance views. He saw, however, thafc more was wanted than mere preachmll'g, and with a sagacity deserving of he projected two strong counteractive forces to intemperance— wholesome beverages and educational literature. He set np in Fenchurcb. street an establishment for the sale of tea and coffee. A long way after him McQoWAif follows with his 3s toa. McGowah has been in the tea trade for many years, and has a Home and Colonial experience in selection that few can lay claim to. A fow year 3 ago it occurred to him, after seeing the sameness of the quality ef tea supplied on the Thames, that there was room for a better article than that usually sold. At . the same time 1)9 saw that ifc would be suicidal to introduce a high price, so he determined to put before the judges of good tea an article for 3s, that could not be excelled, unless there were those wealthy enough to rfceive it from Russia, costing about. 15s. per lb there, bting conveyed overland by caravan. Most people have a hobby, and 3s TEA is McGtoWAN's Hobbx, get a pound and try it. McGowan's 3s Tea is different and distinct from all other Teas. It is bis intention, ot some future date, to publish, for the information of the trade, full instructions as to the plant, time of pulling, selection, manipulation, &c. The public are requested to judge for themselves, in preference to listening to tha disparaging remarks of interested and unprincipled tradesmen.
