WHEREAS by His Majesty's Letters Patent tested at Westminster the
Twenty-fourth day of April, in the fourteenth year of the reign of His said
Maty, of His. especial grace, certain knowledge, and meer motion, did give
and grant, for Him, His heirs and successors, unto me, JAMES OGLE, of North
Shields, in the County of Northumberland, Salt Maker, my executors, adñiors,
and assigns, His special licence, full power, sole priviledge and authority, that
I, my executors, admors, & assignes, and every of them, by himself & them-
selves, or by his and their deputy or deputies, servants or agents, or such
others as I, my executors, adñiors, or assignes, should at any time agree with,
and no others, from time to time and at all times hereafter during the term of
fourteen years from the date of the said Patent, should and lawfully might,
within that part of Great Britain called England, the Dominion of Wales, and
Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, make, use, exercise, and vend, in such manner
as to me, my executors, adñiors, & assignes, should seem meet, "A NEW SORT
OF BOILER AND FURNACES FOR BOILING SEA WATER TO MAKE SALT THEREOF, BY
WHICH MEANS SEA SALT MAY BE MADE AS GOOD, MUCH QUICKER, AND AT LESS
EXPENCE THAN BY ANY OTHER METHOD HITHERTO USED AND DISCOVERED, AND WHICH
I, BY AND AT GREAT PAINS AND EXPENCE, HAVE BROUGHT TO PERFECTION," with such
other powers and libertys as is and are therein expressed; nevertheless subject
to a proviso therein contained, that if I, the said James Ogle, should not parti-
cularly describe and ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, by an instrument in writing under my
hand & seal, and cause the same to be inrolled in His said Majesty's High
Court of Chancery within three calendar months next and immediately after the

page_text: date of the said Letters Patent, that then the same Letters Patent, and all
liberties and advantages whatsoever thereby granted, should utterly cease,
determine, and become void, as by the said Letters Patent, whereunto relation
being had, may & doth more fully and at large appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said James Ogle, in pursuance of the said pro-
viso, do hereby declare that the said new sort of boilery or Invention consists
of a granalating part for the making of salt, and a preparative part for the boyling
of bryne to a proper consistance at one and the same time for the readyer
making of salt by other panns, and is all composed of iron save the upper
part of the outside of the preparative part, which may be of wood or iron at
pleasure; the granalating part whereof is an oblong square vessell made of
plates of iron fixed together upon balkes of iron) the bottom whereof is flatt,
and twelve foot long by cleven feet broad. The sides or ledges are upright
planes standing round the bottom, so as to form a vessell of fifteen inches deep,
and may be of any greater or lesser size at pleasure, and to the bottom of
which vessell are fixed other plates of iron downwards, with barrs of iron of
about thirteen foot in height, and then, returning outward in a flatt or bottom
of two foot, is carried up again parpendicular with like iron plates, or with
iron plates towards the bottom, and timbers towards the top, to the heighth
of the granalating part, and which forms the preparative part of about thirteen
foot long on the sides, and sixteen foot long at the end, and two foot broad, and
nine foot deep. And the same being fixed in a proper panhouse, on a harth
of stone or brick, the bottom of the granulating part and the sides and end of
the preparative part composeth a furnace wherein the fire is lodged, which,
acting round the inside of the preparative part, and the bottom of the grana-
lating part, maketh both the granalating part and preparative part opperate
together for the purposes intended, which is as well for the readier making of
salt as the saving of fewell, and which machine is further actuated & inforced
by a flew invironing the preparative part on the outside thereof if need require.
In witness whereof, I, the said James Ogle, have hereunto set my hand
and seal, this Nineteenth day of June, in the fifteenth year of the
reign of His present Majesty King George the Second, of Great
Britain, & so forth, and in the year of our Lord One thousand seven
hundred and forty-one.
