Year: 1844

page_text: TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, WILLIAM
TAYLOR, of Regent Street, in the County of Middlesex, Gentleman, F.L.S.,
send greeting.
WHEREAS Her present most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing date at West-
minster, the Fifteenth day of July, in the eighth year of Her reign, did, for
Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me, the said William
Taylor, Her especial licence that I, the said William Taylor, my executors,
administrators, and assigns, or such others as I, the said William Taylor, my
executors, administrators, 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 ex-
pressed, should and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend, within that
part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland called England, Her
Dominion of Wales, and Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, and in the Islands of
Guernsey, Jersey, Alderney, Sark, and Man, and in all Her Majesty's Colonies
and Plantations abroad, my Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUPAC-
TURE OF OIL PROM A VEGETABLE NOT HITHERTO USED;" in which Letters Patent
there is contained a proviso that I, the said William Taylor, should cause a
particular description of the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be inrolled in Her Majesty's High Court of
Chancery within six calendar months next and immediately after the date
of the now reciting Letters Patent, as in and by the same, reference being
thereunto had, will more fully appear.

page_text: NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
William Taylor, do hereby declare the nature of my said Invention, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, by the following description
thereof:-
<<
My Invention consists in the manufacture of oil from the vegetable or plant
known in Great Britain by the name of Camelina Sativa, or Gold of
Pleasure," used either alone or in combination with Indian corn and lentils,
for obtaining or producing cakes for the feeding and fattening of cattle, sheep,
and other animals in the following proportions, namely:-Five bushels of the
seed of "Camelina Sativa," or Gold of Pleasure," to two bushels of Indian
corn and one bushel of lentils. The process whereby I obtain this oil is the
same as that ordinarily used for obtaining oil from linseed and other seeds,
and is too well known to require any description. The oil which I so obtain
I designate cameline oil, or dottell, or dodder, or wild cress oil, or gold of
pleasure oil, but I prefer the first name to distinguish it from other seed
oils already well known to the trade. It is applicable for burning in lamps,
and may be used in the manufacture of woollen goods, and also in the
manufacture of soaps; also for lubricating machinery, and in mixing painters'
colors, and it will not congeal by frost, and, if mixed in the proportions of one
third of cameline oil with two thirds of sperm or other oil, will prevent those
oils from congealing by frost.
I therefore claim as my Invention the exclusive manufacture of the oil
which I so obtain from the vegetable or plant known in Great Britain by
the name of "Camelina Sativa, or Gold of Pleasure," either alone or in com-
bination with Indian corn and lentils, in the proportion before mentioned, and
for the purposes aforesaid; and such my Invention being, to the best of my
knowledge and belief, entirely new and never before used within that part of
Her Majesty's United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland called England,
Her Dominion of Wales, and Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, or in the said
Islands of Guernsey, Jersey, Alderney, Sark, and Man, or in Her said
Majesty's Colonics and Plantations abroad, I do hereby declare this to be my
Specification of the same, and I do verily believe this my said Specification
doth comply fully in all respects, without reserve or disguise, with the proviso
in the herein-before recited Letters Patent; wherefore I claim to maintain
exclusive right and privilege of my said Invention.
In witness whereof, I, the said William Taylor, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Sixth day of January, One thousand eight hundred
and forty-five.
WILLIAM (L.S.) TAYLOR.
