This le to certify, That we, the Subscribers hereto, were pre-
sent on the Premises of Woolf andEdwar:ls, at Mill street, Lam-
beth, on Friday the 19th day of July, lei I, to witness an expe-
riment made with aSteam Engine of Arthur Wooll's Patent Con-
struction, to ascertain how much Wheat could be ground into
Lour by two pair of French bur stoats, of four feet diameter each,
attached to the said Engine, with a given quantity of Cods. and
that the following was the result. Worked the Engine four hours
and 11 minutes, and burnt 3 bushelaof NewcastleCoab, weighing
2521bs.During the above time and with the above quantity of fuel,
one pair of the above Stones ground 36 Bushels and 44ilbs. and
the other pair 24 Bushels and 251bs. making together eir Bushels
and I Vbs. ; and it is our opinion, that 4 the second pair of Stones
had been in as good order as the first, there would have been
ground with the above fuel at least 73 Bushels The Wheat
weighed 57illbs. per bushel.

From the above Certificates k appears, that with one of Messrs.
Bolton and Watt's best Entail of eight horses' power, not quite
six bushels of wheat Winchester measure, can he ground into
Lour wits one bushel or 114 pounds of Newcastle coals; am: that
with the same quantity Octal,. Week's nine horse Engine can
grind from to 14 bushels of the same wheat. In other words, •
gulf's Patent &earn Engine of nine hums power can lift from
40 to 45 millions of pounds one foot high, with one bushel ut •
coals.--Engines of greater power can lift considerably snore with
the same quantity of fuel.
Engineers, by applying to the Patentee, Arthur Woolf, No. 2,
Saville-place, Lansheth-walk, may be accommodated with I.i-
-'coxes to construct these Engines on equitahletem:s.
N.B. Engines on Mr.Viratt's priecipie may be altered so as to
embrace Woolf 's iinproiements, at a moderate expence.
