Year: 1839

page_text: TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, HENRY
CROSLEY, of Hooper Square, Leman Street, London, Civil Engineer, send
greeting.
WHEREAS Her present most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by
Her Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing date at
Westminster, the Fifteenth day of April, in the second year of Her reign,
did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me, the said
Henry Crosley, Her especial licence, that I, the said Henry Crosley, my
executors, administrators, and assigns, or such others as I, the said Henry
Crosley, my executors, administrators, or 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, should and lawfully might make use, exercise, and
vend, within England, Wales, and the Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, and
in all Her said Majesty's Colonies and Plantations abroad, my Invention of
"A NEW MANUFACTURE OF PAPER;" in which said Letters Patent is contained
a proviso obliging me, the said Henry Crosley, by an instrument in writing
under my hand and seal, particularly to describe and ascertain the nature of
my said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, and
to cause the same to be inrolled in Her said Majesty's High Court of Chan-
cery within two calendar months next and immediately after the date of the
said recited Letters Patent, as in and by the same, reference being thereunto
had, will more fully and at large appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said.
Henry Crosley, do hereby declare the nature of my said Invention to consist in
manufacturing paper from refuse tan, after it has been used to tan leather or

page_text: other purposes not destructive of its fibre, and also from refuse or spent hops,
after they have been used in brewing; and that the manner in which my said
Invention is to be performed is by subjecting the said tan and hops to the
mode of manufacturing used by paper manufacturers in manufacturing paper
for various purposes from rags.
And I claim as my Invention the following new manufacture, that is to say,
paper in the various forms and for the various purposes now known made of
the fibrous parts of refuse tan, and of refuse or spent hops, as 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 said Majesty's
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland called England, Her said
Dominion of Wales, or Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, nor in Her said Colonies
and Plantations abroad, I do hereby declare this to be my Specification of the
same, and that I do verily believe this my said Specification doth comply in
all respects, fully and without reverse or disguise, with the proviso in the said
herein-before in part recited Letters Patent contained; wherefore I do hereby
claim to maintain exclusive right and privilege to my said Invention.
In witness whereof, I, the said Henry Crosley, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this First day of June, in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and thirty-nine.
Signed, sealed, and delivered, by the
within-named Henry Crosley, in
the presence of
JAS PHILLIPS,
H. CROSLEY. (L.S.)
