JEAN PAULY, late of No. 5, Knightsbridge, opposite to the Cannon Brew-
house, in the County of Middlesex, but now of No. 32, Queen Street,.
Brompton, in the same. County, Engineer, 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
Westminster, the Twenty-third day of March, in the fifty-sixth year of His
reign, did, for Himself, His heirs and successors, give and grant unto me, the
said Samuel Jean Pauly, my exors, adiñiors, and assigns, His especial licence,
full power, sole privilege and authority, that I, the said Samuel Jean Pauly,
my exors, aduiors, or assigns, and every of them, by himself and themselves,
or by his and their deputy or deputies, servants or agents, or such others as
I, the said Samuel Jean Pauly, my exors, admors, or assigns, should at any
time agree with, and no others, from time to time and at all times thereafter
during the term of years therein expressed, should and lawfully might make,
use, exercise, and vend, within that part of His Majesty's United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland called England, His Majesty's Dominion of
Wales, and Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, and also all His Majesty's Colonies
and Plantations abroad, my Invention of "AN ARTICLE OR SUBSTANCE FOR

page_text: MAKING WITHOUT SEAMS COATS, GREAT COATS, WAISTCOATS, HABITS, CLOAKS,
PANTALOONS, MANTLES, STOCKINGS, SOCKS, AND ANY OTHER KIND OF CLOTHING, COVERS
FOR UMBRELLAS AND FOR HATS, AND MATTRASSES, SEATS; AND CUSHIONS FILLED
WITH ATMOSPHERIC AIR;" in which said Letters Patent is contained a proviso
that if I, the said Samuel Jean Pauly, should not particularly describe and
-ascertain the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same is
to be performed, by an instrument in writing under my hand and seal, and
cause the same to be inrolled in His Majesty's High Court of Chancery within
two calendar months next and immediately after the date of the said recited
Letters Patent, that then the said Letters Patent, and all liberties and
advantages thereby granted, should cease, determine, and be void, as in and by
the same Letters Patent, reference being thereunto had, will more fully and at
large appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
Samuel Jean Pauly, do hereby declare that the nature of the said Invention, and
the manner in which the same is to be performed, is described and ascertained
in the following explanation thereof, that is to say:-
The said article or substance is the peritoneal coat, membrance, or covering
of the cœcum or blind gut of animals, of which that of the larger animals,
such as oxen, cows, bulls, calves, and sheep is obviously to be preferred. The
skin may be used immediately it is taken from the animal or dried until
wanted, and when wanted it is to be soaked in water, until rendered sufficiently
soft and pliant to be extended. In winter tepid water may be used. The skin
is to be placed wet upon a model or figure of the shape and size of the article
or thing required, and as many skins are to be employed as are necessary to
complete the requisite size. The skins are to be connected or joined together
by laying the edges of the one a little over the edges of the other, and skins
are to be laid upon each other according to the thickness required when
connected or joined together, and placed upon each other in the manner
directed. It will be found that as the skins dry they become by their
glutinous nature united and consolidated. A small quantity of glue dissolved in
the water previously to the skins being soaked will increase their adhesion.
When the skins are perfectly dry and consolidated, the whole is to be varnished
inside and outside with any varnish fit for oil skin, but the best varnish for
the purpose is that called Mr. Frederick Mollerstein's composition; when the
latter is used it is to be previously reduced to a fluid liquor of the substance
of paint, by being boiled with a sufficient quantity of linseed oil, and when
cold is to be laid on with the hand. By the aforesaid preparation and

page_text: manufacture the skin may be made into any shape and form without
eams.
In witness whereof, I, the said Samuel Jean Pauly, have hereunto set
my hand and seal, the Twentieth day of May, One thousand eight
hundred and sixteen.
Inrolled the Twenty-first day of May, in the year of our
thousand eight hundred and sixteen.
