granted since March 2, 1861, can be ex-
tended except by act of Congress-.

ure, or composition of matter, or any
new and useful improvement thereof,
not known or used by others in this
country, and not patented nor described
in any printed publication in this or any
foreign country before his invention or
discovery thereof, and not in public

time of making his application, believed
himself to be the first inventor or dis
coverer, patent will not be refused on

had not been before patented or de-
scribed in any printed publication.
The specification is a written descrip-
ton of the invention or discovery, and
of the manner and process of making,
constructing, compounding and using
the same, and is required to be in such

science to which it appertains, or with
which it is most nearly connected, to
