wise give inftru&ions for erecting a boring-mill. I am also
Skilled in grinding and polishing of Swards, Bayonets and

a mill-saw to the smallest carving tool, nothing inferior to those
brought from Great-Britain. I can give directions for erecting
a fkelping or rating-forge, and working the fame. What in
duces me to speak so extensively is, my being employed in the
above branches upwards of 2Q years ; therefore I flatter myfelf,
that those who are pleased to favour me with encouragement
in particular fliall meet with the defited success, and the public
