declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be

statement:
An invention for toasting bread, cake, & the like, its object is the saving of
time & also the unpleasant necessity of standing before the fire.
It comprises a framework which can hang on the bars or stand on top of the
stove, a box in which the bread or cake is placed, which is attached to the frame-
work by rings, in such a manner as will allow it to be turned, without removing the
material to be toasted & a division which can be removed if required, but is
necessary when toasting bread, for, as that is generally thinner than cake, would
otherwise slip out of its place.
