page_text: TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, we, ISAAC
MOORE, of Queen Street, Upper Moorfields, and WILLIAM PINE, of the City
of Bristol, Letter Founders, Printers, and Partners, send greeting.
WHEREAS His present most Excellent Majesty King George the Third,
by His Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing-date
at Westminster, the Sixth day of November, in the eleventh year of His
reign, reciting that we, the said Isaac Moore and William Pine, had found
out and invented "AN ENTIRELY NEW AND PARTICULAR METHOD OF CASTING CASES
IN METAL, FOR HOLDING AND CONTAINING METALLIC LETTERS OR PRINTING TYPES OF
A PECULIAR CONSTRUCTION, TO FIX IN THE SAID CASES, FOR MARKING OR PRINTING
ON SILK, MUSLIN, LINNEN, WOOLLEN, LEATHER, PAPER, PARCHMENT, AND VELLUM ;
TOGETHER WITH RAISED LETTERS FOR SIGNS, MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTIONS, AND OTHER
PURPOSES; AND ALSO NEW INVENTED PRINTING PRESSES, THE PLATENS WHEREOF
ARE MADE OF IRON AND OTHER METALS, AS WELL AS OF WOOD, AND ARE SUSPENDED
OR COUNTERACTED BY A BALLANCE OR WEIGHT," which several Inventions would
be much more useful and advantageous to the public than any other method,
machine, engine, or instrument hitherto invented; that the said Inventions
are entirely new, and constructed upon different principles from any Invention
hitherto and for the like purposes, and would, as we humbly conceived, be
extremely beneficial to the public; and praying His Majesty's Letters Patent

page_text: for the sole making, using, and yending the said machines, engines, letters, or
instruments as aforesaid; His said Majesty did, by His said Letters Patent,
give and grant unto us, the Isaac Moore and William Pine, our execu-
tors, administrators, and assigns, His especial licence, full power, sole privi-
ledge and authority, that we should and might use, exercise, and vend our
said Inventions within England, Wales, Berwick-upon-Tweed, and His
Majesty's Colonies or Plantations abroad, for and during the term of fourteen
years from the date of the said Letters Patent; in which said Letters Patent
is contained a proviso that if we, the said Isaac Moore and William Pine,
shall not particularly describe and ascertain the nature of our said Inven-
tions, and in what manner the same is to be performed, by an instrument
in writing under our hands and seals, and cause the same to be enrolled
in His Majesty's High Court of Chancery within four calendar months
next and immediately after the date of the said Letters Patent, that then
the said Letters Patent, and all liberties and advantages whatsoever therchy
granted, shall utterly cease, determine, and become void, as in and by the
said Letters Patent, relation being thereunto had, may more fully and at large
appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that we, the said Isaac Moore and William Pine, in
complyance with the said proviso, do hereby describe and ascertain the nature
of our said Inventions, and in what manner the same is to be performed, by
the Plan or Particular thereof hereunto annexed.
In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hands and seals, the
Twenty-first day of February, in the twelfth year of the reign of His
said Majesty King George the Third, and in the year of our Lord Onc
thousand seven hundred and seventy-two.
