CLAY, of Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, Japanner, send greeting.
WHEREAS His most Excellent Majesty King George the Third, by His
Letters. Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing date the
Twentieth day of November, in the thirteenth year of His reign, did give
and grant unto me, the said Henry Clay, His especial licence that I, the said
Henry Clay, during the term of years therein expressed, should and lawfully
might make, use, exercise, and vend, within England, Wales, and Town of
Berwick-upon-Tweed, my Invention of "MAKING, IN PAPER, HIGH VARNISHED
PANNELS OR ROOFS FOR COACHES, AND ALL SORTS OF WHEEL CARRIAGES, AND SEDAN
CHAIRS, PANNELS FOR ROOMS, DOORS, AND CABBINS OF SHIPS, CABINETS, BOOKCASES,
SCREENS, CHIMNEY PIECES, TABLES, TEATRAYS, AND WAITERS;" in which said
Letters Patent there is contained a proviso obliging me, the said Henry

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 proviso, I, the said
Henry Clay, do hereby declare, that my said Inventions of making paper
pannels for various purposes are by pasting several papers upon boards or
plates of regular thicknesses on each side the same, to prevent one side
counteracting or drawing with superior force to the other in the state of

page_text: drying; and when the same is rendered sufficiently strong for the purpose
intended, it is then planed or cut off at the edges until the board or plate
appears, and then taken off such boards or plates. The pieces of paper are
afterwards screwed or fastened on boards or plates, and put in a stove suffi-
ciently hot to deprive them of their flexibility, and at the same time are rubbed
over or dipped in oil or varnish, which so immediately drenches into them as
to secure them from damps, &c. After the papers are thus made they are
capable of being sawed into different forms, and planed as wood; and if
joining the parts be required, as in tea trays, dressing boxes, and some other
articles, they are done by dufftailing or mitering, in the same manner as if
made in wood. After the various articles are thus formed in the paper, they
are then coated with colour and oils sufficient to make the surface even, and
are then japanned and high varnished.
In witness whereof, I, the said Henry Clay, have hereunto set my hand
and seal, the Eleventh day of March, One thousand seven hundred and

compose the rul'd paper used by the pattern drawers in the manufacture of
silk brocades and tapestry, except that in the present case diagonal lines are

page_text: superadded. On this paper, the patterns for the present purpose being neatly
drawn, types and blanks corresponding to the respective squares of the pattern
are to be mounted in a frame, and used with the proper colours adapted to the
design, in the same manner as is generally practiced in and with the common
and well-known letter press, excepting the improvements that are introduced
in the press, which constitute a part of this new Invention, and which are fully
explained in the Drawings and references thereto hereto annexed, together
with the form of the types, the alphabet of which is formed of small squares,
divers portions of squares, circular and other forms, suited to the nature of the
work.
In testimony whereof, I, the said Anthony George Eckhardt, have here-
unto sett my hand and seal, this Sixteenth day of June, in the
fourteenth year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord George the Third,
