UST respectfully submitted to the Public
the extremely severe case of Mr. THOMAS CHAP-
MAN, late of Southwark.—Nearly thirty years ago he
discovered sad invented the means of making the For of the
South Sea Seal-skins available to oar manufacturers. Pre-
sous to this important discovery, the valuable Fur ouw
obtained from the scsi by his invention, was made no use of
other than for manure fur the laud. The Fur Seal-skins
were of so little value, as scarcely to be worth the freight
of the ship. They were chiefly mold to the tanners, at from
four-pence lo two shillings each ; they have 'Mee been sold
.121. sad upwards per skin, and their Far at eighty shil-
lings per pound weight. Immense quantifies of Seal Fur
are yearly mannfartured sod worked up into hate, shawls,
and cloth of great valise. Numerous and various articles of
ovirameatal and comfortable clothing are also manufactured
from it ; and it is calculated, that from fifty to one hundred
thoosaud Fur Seat-skins have, on average, been annually
imputed sad worked up since the tithe their Fur was by
Mr. Chapman first made available. Not having the mean.
in his poser, when he made this important discovery, of
seeurtng it to himself, was the cause of his failure ■nd
presest distress. The public bath already benefited by it
to a Brest amount.
The friends of the above meritorious but truly unfor-
tunate individual, have deemed it advisable to solicit
PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION, in the hope of raising a fund
that may, is some degree, alleviate hi, sufferings. Through
severe illness sad unavoidable misfortunes, be bath for
some years been utterly without the menus of being able to
carry un the business lie invented, established, and brought
into general use.—Advaured age. nod She great affliction
occasioned by a revere rheumatie complaint, which often
confine. him fur two or three months at a time, is the cause
of so much weakness, that he is reodered almost unfit sad
unable to pursue any bushier,: that will provide the means
of eminence. Thus lie, who, by an iugeniesus and skilful
discovery, loath been the cause of giving daily bread to
thousands, who are employed in nor entire new manufacture
iu •arious branches, which OM. uireasinus 11111111frOUll .hipping
and seamen to be employed—who traverse the most remote
parts of the South Seas in search of Fur Seals, discovering
many new and valuable islands, is himself, at an advanced
age, destitute of support.
Subscriptions will be thankfully received at Messrs. Her-
ries, Farquhar, and Cu. Bankers, St. James's-street; and
at Messrs. Snow and Paul, Backers, 417, Strand.
