of us, particularly to describe and ascertain the nature of our said Invention,

to be inrolled in His Majesty's High Court of Chancery within six calendar
months next and immediately after the date of the said recited Letters Patent,
as in and by the same, reference being thereunto had, will more fully and at-
large appear.
"
NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, we, the said
William Storey and Samuel Hirst, do hereby declare the nature of our said
Invention to consist in the following particulars. (that is to say) -
The materials which we employ for cleansing, washing, scouring, and milling
woollen and other cloths, is a saponaceous mixture, compounded of alkaline
matters with a small quantity of fat, which we prepare in the following
manner (that is to say):-Take a large cistern and fill it with human urine,
in which cistern-it should remain about six-weeks, in order to ferment. When
that has taken place, take from the cistern four hundred gallons of the fer-
mented urine and put it into an iron still, having a block tin worm passing
through a refrigerating vessel, as commonly constructed. Add to the urine in
the still one pound of tallow prepared from beef suet, which tallow is for the
purpose of preventing-the-froth-that-would otherwise arise in the ebullition..
Distill those materials, and from the still, when in operation, take over-into a
cask through. the worm about six cwt. of ammoniacal liquor, or, as it is
chemically termed, aqui ammonia. Add to this ammoniacal-liquor in the cask
six pounds of the best mottled soap previously dissolved, which will give the
liquor an opaque appearance, and is dissigned; by its substance to assist the
adhersion of the fibres of the wool in milling, and also the scouring and s
removing of any foul matters which may have attached to the wool during the
manufacture. Mix the dissolved soap well with the liquid ammonia, and then
let the material thus prepared be carefully bunged, up close, in the cask, in
order to exclude the atmospheric air. This liquor, is then fit for the purpose
of being employed as a saponaceous material for scouring, milling, or fulling,
cleansing and washing of woollen and other cloths or fabrics...
•
In witness whereof, we, the said. William Storey and Samuel Hirst,
have hereunto set our hands and seals,. this Tenth day of Sep
tember, in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and
twenty-nine..
