TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, JOHN BUDDLE,
of Wallsend, in the County of Northumberland, Gentleman, send greeting.
WHEREAS His most Excellent Majesty King George the Third, by His
Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland, bearing date at Westminster, the Twenty-first day of February,
in the fifty-fourth year of His reign, did give and grant unto me, the said
John Buddle, my exors, adors, and assigns, His especial. licence, full power,
sole priviledge and authority, that I, the said John Buddle, my exors, adñiors,
and assigns, and every of them, during the term of years therein expressed,
should and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend, within that part of
the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland called England, the
Dominion of Wales, and Town of Berwick upon Tweed, in such manner as
to me the said John Buddle, my exors, admors, and assigns, or any of them,
should seem meet, my Invention of "A FIRE PAN OR FIRE LAMP, IN WHICH
SMALL OR INFERIOR COALS MAY BE CONSUMED IN THE PLACE OF LARGE OR ROUND
COALS, AND ALSO MY INVENTION OF A FIRE GRATE OR FIRE STOVE TO BE FIXED AT THE
BOTTOM OF THE CHIMNEY IN THE ORDINARY MODE, IN WHICH FIRE, GRATE OR FIRE
STOVE SMALL OR INFERIOR COALS MAY BE CONSUMED ON ALL OCCASIONS, AND FOR ALL
THE SAME PURPOSES AS LARGE OR ROUND COALS;" in which said Letters Patent
there is contained a proviso obliging me, the said John Buddle, by an instru-
ment in writing under my hand and scal, to cause a particular description of
the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be inrolled in His said Majesty's High Court of Chancery within
two calendar months after the date of the said recited Letters Patent, as in

page_text: and by the same, reference being thereunto had, will more fully and at large
appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said John Buddle, in compliance with the
said proviso, do hereby describe and ascertain the nature of my said Invention
of the said fire pan or fire lamp, and in what manner the same is to be performed,
as follows, reference being had to the Drawings in the annexed Schedule (that
is to say)-
First, the fire pan or fire lamp may be made of a circular or pentagonal or
rectangular or any other convenient shape. The body of it may be formed
horizontally or vertically, with a pyramidical, convex, conical, horizontal, or
concave bottom, or a bottom of any other shape that may be found convenient, and
such bottom may be made of iron, brass, or any other materials. The bottoni of
the fire pan or fire lamp should either be formed into one or more vertical tubes,
or one or more vertical tubes should be fixed into the bottom of the fire pan or fire
lamp for the purpose of admitting the air. These tubes may be made of iron or
any other metal, and may be formed of vertical or horizontal bars, or in any other
shape that may be sufficiently capable of admitting the air freely into the fire.
Dampers or valves may be fixed at the bottom of the tubes for the purpose of
qualifying and regulating the admission of the air, as circumstances may require,
and a funnel or funnels should be placed on that side of the fire pan or fire
lamp from which the wind may happen to blow, to be used and applied as
occasion may require. In the annexed Schedule I have delineated six Drawings
of the fire pan or fire lamp. Figure I. represents a rectangular fire pan or fire
lamp with a pyramidical bottom. A shews the tube or chimney through the
bottom; B, the damper or valve to regulate the admission of the air; C, the
handle.
The sides D, E, F, G, may be formed of parallel bars or of perforated plates.
Figure 11. represents the plan of the same rectangular fire pan or fire lamp
with its tube and sides. Figure III. represents a circular fire pan or fire lamp
with a conical bottom. Figure IV. represents the plan of the same circular
fire pan or fire lamp. Figure V. represents the section of a vertical fire pan
or fire lamp, which may be made of a circular or pentagonal or rectangular
or any other shape that may be found convenient. A shews its tube or chim-
ney B, B, the body; C, C, its legs; D, the damper or valve; E, its handle.
Figure VI. represents a rectangular fire pan or fire lamp with an horizontal
bottom.
A shews the funnel with the several branches, numbers 1, 2, 3, 4,
for the purpose of admitting the air into the fire through the bottom. I also
described and ascertain the nature of my said Invention of the fire-grate or fire

page_text: stove, and in what manner the same is to be performed, as follows, reference
being also had to the Drawing in the annexed Schedule (that is to say):
The fire grate or fire stove must be made with a pervious back, and must be
placed in such a manner as that a space may be left between such pervious
back and the back wall of the fire-place. Such space is intended to form an
aperture for the admission of air into the back part of the fire through the
pervious back, and a damper or valve is to be fixed at the bottom or top of
such aperture to regulate the admission of the air, as circumstances may
require. In the annexed Schedule I have also delineated a Drawing of a fire
grate or fire stove, namely, Figure VII. represents the section of a fire grate
or fire stove. A shews the fire-place; B, B, the space between the pervious
back and the back wall of the fire-place; C, C, the dampers or valves; D, D,
the pervious back; G, G, the bars in the ordinary way; H, the ash-pit; K, the
chimney.
