Weed. an Ingenious mechanic of this town, Middle
Soy Mass ! has inverted machine for making print

scrptions of steel iron, brass copper, and type metal

the ordinary mode Of casting. The Importance OF tins
invention will be fully appreciated byprnters and the
craft generally. Human ingenuity has to the present
been unable to form any metal, or comOmauon Oh

But the ereatest objection arises from the exceeding
