CRUMPLER, of Lawrence Lane, in the City of London, Weaver, send greeting.
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 Eighteenth day of June, in the fourth year of His said Majesty's
reign, did give and grant to me, the said John Crumpler, His special licence,
full power, sole priviledge and authority, that I, the said John Crumpler, my
extors, adñiors, and assigns, and every of them, by myself and themselves, or
by mine or their deputy or deputies, servants and agents, or such other as I,
the said John Crumpler, my extors, admors, and assigns, should at any time
agree with, and no others, from time to time and at all times during the term
of years therein expressed, make, use, exercise, and vend my Invention of
"WEAVING GOLD AND SILVER WIRE, AND COPPER WIRE GILT, EITHER WITH
COTTON, SILK, THREAD, OR YARN," throughout that part of His Majestie's
Kingdom of Great Britain called England, the Dominion of Wales, and
Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed; in which said recited Letters Patent is
contained a proviso obliging me, the said John Crumpler, by writing under
my hand and seal, to cause a particular description of the nature of the said
Invention to be inrolled in His said Majesty's High Court of Chancery
within four calendar months after the date of the said recited Letters Patent,
as in and by the Statute, relation being thereunto had, may more fully and at
large appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the the said proviso, I, the said
John Crumpler, do hereby declare that the said new Invention is composed
and made in manner following:-

page_text: The Invention of Weaving Cotton with Silk.-Draw up the lash and shoot
the cotton through the opening, then close the batten, which forms a figure of
cotton; then draw up the second lash and shoot the silk through, which forms
the figure of silk.
Another Invention.-Draw up the lash as before and shoot the cotton
through the opening, then close the batten, which makes both ground and
figure; then draw up the second lash and shoot the silk through the opening;
this makes the figure in silk.
A third Invention of Weaving Gold, Silver, or Copper, Gilt or Silvered.―
Draw up the lash as before and shoot the cotton through the opening, and
then close the batten, which forms a cotton figure; then draw up the second
lash and shoot the plate or copper through; this makes a figure of the plate.
I have likewise invented to shoot the cotton through a different opening, which,
when the battens are closed, makes a plain ground and figure.-Draw пр the
lash as before, then shoot the silver through the opening; this makes the figure
of silk either in ribbons or broad work. The Invention is continued by shooting
cotton in the opening, then closing the batten, and by shooting plate or
tinsell through a different opening, finishes a plain tissue.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto sett my hand and seal, this Seventh
day of August, in the year of our Lord One thousand seven hundred
and sixty-four.
Inrolled the Seventeenth day of August, in the year of our Lord One 3
thousand seven hundred and sixty-four.
