THE ART OF MAKING TARRASS IN HIS SAID MAJESTY'S KINGDOMS
Year: 1763

page_text: WHEREAS His most Excellent Majesty King George the Third, by His
Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing date at West-
minster, the Seventh day of December, in the fourth year of Ilis reign, did
give and grant unto me, the said Thomas Maulove, I is especial licence that
1. the said Thomas Manlove, during the term of years therein expressed.
should and lawfully might use, exercise, and vend, within England, Wales, and
Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, my Invention of "THE ART OF MAKING
TARRASS IN HIS SAID MAJESTY'S KINGDOMS;" in which said Letters Patent there
is contained a provisoe, obliging me, the said Thomas Manlove, under my hand
and seal. to cause a particular description of the nature of the said Inven-
tion, and how the same is to be performed, to be inrolled in His Majesty's
High Court of Chancery within four calendar months after the date of the
said recited Letters Patent, as in and by the same (relation being thereunto
had), may more fully and at large appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said provisoe, I, the said
Thomas Manlove, do hereby declare that my said Invention of the art of
making tarrass in His said Majesty's Kingdoms is to be performed in the
manner following, that is to say:
Tarrass (so called in English) is a natural stone or rock, hitherto never
discovered in any country but Germany. It is a hard substance, and so im-
penetrable as to require the force of gunpowder to seperate it, and render it
more manageable to the workmen who are employed in forming the rough

page_text: pieces into proper dimensions for the cavities which receive them, and in which
they are pulverized by the means of heavy stampers, worked either by wind
or water mills, during which operation the fine and useful particles seperate
themselves from the crude through iron sieves, and thus becomes tarrass.
Although its colour sometimes varys, yet in Holland and Germany the resem-
blance is made equal by a mixture of pulverized coals; but as such mixture
neither adds to or diminishes its use or quality, proves it needless.
In witness whereof, I, the said Thomas Manlove, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Sixteenth day of December, One thousand seven
hundred and sixty-three.
in the year above mentioned, the aforesaid Thomas Manlove came before
our said Lord the King in His Chancery, and acknowledged the Specification
aforesaid, and all and every thing therein contained and specified, in form
above written. And also the Specification aforesaid was stampt according to
the tenor of the Statute made in the sixth year of the reign of the late King
and Queen William and Mary of England, and so forth.
Inrolled the Twenty-fifth day of February, in the year of our Lord One
thousand seven hundred and sixty-four.
