HENRY M. GIBB begs to intimate to the Nobility, Gentry, and Strangers visiting Edinburgh and its vicinity, that he still continues to devote his attention to the management of this Establishment with the same regard to Style and Comfort which have gained him so much favour and patronage during the last Twenty Years.

A rival Establishment in Princes Street has recently assumed the title of New Royal Hotel, which has led to mistakes, and occasioned not a little annoyance and disappointment to those who intend to reside at Mr Gibb's Hotel; he therefore takes this opportunity to solicit particular attention to the Name and Address of
