Fair of The American Institute, held at Niblos
Garden, October, I84I, report, that we have ex-
amned into the merits of Francis's Manifold Wr

contrivancc, by which two or more letters, or 9th
er documents, may be written at once The ink
used is not in liquid state, but consists of COM
position applied to sheets of paper The nature
Of this Composition is such that il is not liable TO
change color by exposure TO the air or mOisture
nor is it easily removed from paper by chemical
agents.
The principal advantage to be derived from
use of the Manifold Writer is, that a copy OF any
document may be kept without any additional
trouble TO the writer, and without the necessity of
using either an ,nhStand Or Il pen. 1t is stated
that copyright is secured. We consider Mr. |
