& JEFFERID Dr.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, we, JOHN
HAYWOOD, of the Parish of Saint Mary-le-bon, Draughtsman, and THOMAS
JEFFERYS, of the Parish of Saint Martin in the Fields, in the County of
Middlesex, Geographer, send greeting.
WHEREAS His most Excellent Majesty King George the Third did, by
His Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing date the
Seventeenth day of November, in the sixteenth year of His reign, give and grant
unto us, the said John Haywood and Thomas Jefferys, His especial licence
that we, the said John Haywood and Thomas Jefferys, during the term of years
therein expressed, should and lawfully might use, exercise, and vend, within
England, Wales, and Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, and also within all His
Majesty's Colonies and Plantations abroad, our Invention of "A NEW AND
ACCURATE METHOD OF MAKING ARTIFICIAL GLOBES OR SPHERES, WITHOUT BEING
COVERED WITH PRINTING OR DRAWING ON PAPER, PARCHMENT, OR ANY SUCH LIKE
MATERIAL;" in which said Letters Patent there is contained a provisoe obliging
us, the said John. Haywood and Thomas Jefferys, under our hands and seals,
to cause a particular description of the nature of our said Invention, and how
the same is to be performed, to be inrolled in His Majesty's High Court of
Chancery within four calender months after the date of the said recited Letters
Patent, as in and by the same (relation being thereunto had) may more fully
and at large appear.
And whereas the general method of making artificial globes, by covering a
ball with slips or gores of paper printed on flat plates, has subjected them to
great errors, not only in printing of those plates, and the inequality of stretching
and shrinking of the paper, but likewise in the difficulty of pasting them on
correct:

page_text: NOW KNOW YE, that in order to surmount these disadvantages, and to
render the operation certain, and in compliance with the said provisoe, we, the
said John Haywood and Thomas Jefferys, do hereby declare that our said
Invention of a New and Accurate Method of making Artificial Globes or
Spheres, without being covered with Printing or Drawing on Paper, Parch-
ment, or any such like Material, is described in the manner following (that is
to say) :-
The proper representations being made in the concavity of a mould for each
globe respectively, the mould is filled with plaister of Paris, enamel, wax,
metal, or any material or composition capable of receiving an impression, which
impression is received as the globe is formed.
In witness whereof, we, the said John Haywood and Thomas Jefferys,
have hereunto set our hands and seals, this Fourteenth day of March,
One thousand seven hundred and seventy-six.
THOMAS JEFFERYS. (L.B.)
AND BE IT REMEMBRED, that on the same Fourteenth day of
March, in the year above said, the aforesaid John Haywood and Thomas
