AMERICAN & FOREIGN PATENTS.

KD H. EDDY, Solicitor of Patents, Qate Agent 1oe of the U. s. Patent Office, Washington, un- der the Act of 1887 )-76 State St., opposite Kllby St., Boston.
 After an extensive practice of upwards of twenty years continues to secure Patents in the United States also in Great Britain, France and other for ments, and all Papers or Drawings for Patents, cuted in liberal terms. and with despatch Resear- ches made into American Foreign works, to de- termine the validity utility of Patents or Inven- tions-and legal other advice rendered in all mat ters touching the Copies of the claims of any Patent furnished by remitting One Dsllar. Assign ments recorded at Washington. W l This Agency is not only the largest in New Eng land but through it inventors have advantages for securing patents or ascertaining the patentabilty of inventions, unsurpassed by, if not immeasuraby superior to- any that be offered them elsewhere. The testimonials below given. prove that none is SUCCESSFUL AT THE PATENT OFFICE than the sub- scriber and as SUCCESS BEST PROOF OF ADvAN- FACES OR ABILITY he would add that he has abun dant reason to believe, and can prove, that at no other office of the kind the charges for profess sional services so moderate. The immense practice of the subscriber during twenty years past has ena- bled him to accumulate vast collection of specih- cations and official decisions relative to patents.- 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 TOT oD taining patents.
 | All necessity of tourney to Washington to pro- cure patent, and the usual great delay there, are here saved inventors.
 TESTIMONIALS. l "I regard Mir. Eddy of the most capable and suceessM practitioners with whom have had official intercourse. CHA'S MASON,' | Commissioner of Patents.
 "I have no hesitation in assuring Invensors that they cannot employ person more competent and trust ,cothy, and more capable of putting their applica tions in form to secure for them an early and fa vorabls consideration at the Patent Office. | EDMUND BURKE | late Commissioner of Patents. | BOSTON, February S. 1858.
 "Mr. R. H. Eddy has made for me THIRTEEN ap plicatons on all but of which patents have been granted and that one is pending Such unmis takabe proof of great talent and ability his part leads me to recommend au inventors to apply to him to procure their patents, and they may be sure o having the most faihfal attention bestowed on their cases, and at very reasonable charges

 From Sept. 17th. 1857 to June 17th, 1858, the subscriber in of his large practice, made. on t,cice rejected applications, SIXTEEN APPEALS EVERY ONE of which decided in kis fauor, by the Commissioner of Patents.
