A FTER an extensive practice of upwards 1A of twenty years, continues to secure Pat ents ill the United States also in Great Brit ain, France and other foreign countries. Ca- yeats, Specifications, Bonds, Assignments, and all Papers or Drawings for Patents, executed on liberal terms, anu with despatch. Research es made into American or Foreign works, to determine the validity or utility of Patents or Inventions-and legal or other advice render ed in all matters touching the same. Copies of the claims of any Patent furnished by re- mitting One Dollar. Assignments recorded at Washington.
 The Agency is not only the largest in New England. but through it inventors have advan- tages for securing Patents, of ascertaing the patentability of inventions, unsurpassed by. if not immeasurably superior to, any which can be offered them elsewhere The Testimonials below given prove that none is MORE SUC- CESSFUL AT THE PATENT OFFICE, than the subscriber: aud as SUCCESS IS THE BEST PROOF OF ADVANTAGES AND ABIL- ITY, he would add that he has abundant req son to believe, and can prove, that at no othr CT office of the kind are the charges for profess sional services SO moderate. The immense practice of the subscriber during twenty years past, has enabled him to accumulate vast col- lection of specifications and official decisions relative to patents.
 These, besides his extensive library of illegal and mechanical works, and full accounts of patents granted in the United States and Eu- rope, render him able, beyond question. to of fer superior facilities for obtaining Patents.
 All necessity of a journey to Washington, to procure a patent, and the usual great delay there. are here saved inventors.

 assI regard Mr. Eddy at one of the most eapa- ble and successful practitioners, with whom have had official intercourse.

 "Mr R. H. Eddy has made for me THIR TEEN applications, on all but ONE of which patents have been granted, and that is noso pending. Such unmistakable proof of great talent and ability on his part leads me to rec ommend at inventors to apply to him to pro- cure their patents, as they may be sure of hav- ing the most faithful attention bestowed on their cases, and at very reasonable charges"
