This Oven exhibits a totally new development of the powers..
of Reflection; being an apparatus for concentrating the re-
flecting properties of the common Dutch Oven, and rendering
them completely efficient and available for the purposes of
baking Bread, Pies, Pastry, Cakes, Poultry, or small Joints
of Meat. This object is so completely attained, that a Loaf of
seven pounds, a Pie containing five pounds of meat, or a small
Joint, will be baked as peifectly, in every respect, as in the
very best constructed brick oven, and in the same time; and all
the operations of baking may be performed before any Kitchen
or Sitting-room fire, with the greatest cleanliness and facility.

portional share of the quinquennial profits, which may be ap-
plied either by additions to their respective policies, or in re-
duction of the premiums thereafter to become payable.

nually, and one-half the premium may, if required, remain onin-
