NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Charles Chadwicke, do hereby declare
my said Invention, and declare that the same is to be performed in manner
following (that is to say) :-
The flower or figure intended to be made on any of the above-mentioned
piece goods is first cut in a plate or cillender made either of wood, copper,
brass, or any other metal, and if the figure is made with the plate, the plate
must be laid on the goods, and then put within a rolling press or a press
workt with screws, the force of which makes or raises the figure. But if the

page_text: figure is made with the cillinder the goods are laid within the cillinder, which
is workt by men, horses, wind, or water.
In witness whereof, I, the said Charles Chadwick, have hereunto set
my hand and seal, the Fourteenth day of February, in the fifteenth
year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord George the Third, by the
grace of God of Great Britain, France, and Ireland King, Defender
of the Faith, and so forth, and in the year of our Lord One thousand
seven hundred and seventy-five.
CHARLES (L.S.) CHADWICK.
