The immense practice of the subscriber during twenty years past has bled him to accumulate vast collection of specii- cations and official decisions relative to patcnts.- These besides his extensive library of legal and me- chanical works, and full accounts of patents granted in the United States and Europe, render him able, beyond question, to offer superior facilities for cb- taining patents.
