PRINTING APPLIED TO POTTERY. At this

which, as applied to the decoration of his improved eru3f
ware, Mr. Wedgwood was soon to find the great util,'P
This was the application to glazed earthenware of imp

art had been made in 1752, or indeed previously, 1
John Sadler, a master printer of Liverpool, who, frol
ol °
serving some children stick waste prints, which he had
given them, upon broken pieces of earthenware they a
brought from the pot works near at hand, had conoeill
the idea of this new application of the printer's art. Vat;
time ho occupied himself with experiments in 31. i
many fruitless trials, he succeeded. When his ilien—°d,
was thus nearly perfect, ho communicated it to his friend'
Mr. Guy Green, who, likewise a printer, had served llt4
apprenticeship to Mr. Sadler's father, and had now sue:
ceoded him in his business. From this time the friend'
conducted their experiments together ; and entering i
nto
partnership, they determined to apply to the King for
patent. With this intent they procured all the necessel
certificates and other papers to show their. claim to the
vention, but ultimately they were disivaded from taid"
ev,
this step by their friends, who not only considered tbe
pollee, delay, and publicity connected therewith, but scil
also certain that, with ordinary prudence, their secret e?

be safe for a period at least, and that they had thus .0
to fear from opposition. They therefore lost no ti/1 1,36
such patrons, or in loitering about law courts ; but, t,--1 -t
