The benefits conferred By an inventor
upon the public, come, after q reasonable
period for introduction has passed, to be
pretty exactly recognized and counterbal-
anced by the benefits to the inventor him
self in The profits Of his invention, and
such is the intention Of the law Of patents.
We recently gave 4 brief abstract OF the
decision Of Commissioner Holloway, de-
nying to G. H Mccormick Of this city, an
extension upon his patent on the Reaper
that bears him name. The first patent
bears date Oct. 23d, 1877, the full term Of
fourteen years having expired On the cor
responding date Of the month last past.
In his statement Of receipts and expen-
ditu1es fled at the Patent Office with his
application, Mr.. Mccormick states that he
