page_text: TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, MOSES
POOLE, of Lincoln's Inn, in the County of Middlesex, Esquire, send greeting..
WHEREAS His most Excellent Majesty King George the Third did, by His
Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland, bearing date at Westminster, the Tenth day of November, in the
fifty-ninth year of His reign, give and grant unto me, the said Moses Poole,
my exors, admors, and assigns, His especial licence; full power, sole privilege,
and authority, that I, the said Moses Poole, my exors, adñors, and assigns,
during the term of years therein mentioned, should and lawfully might make,
use, exercise, and vend within England, Wales, and the Town of Berwick-
upon-Tweed, and also in His Majesty's Colonies and Plantations abroad, the
Invention communicated to me by Christoph. Dihl, a foreigner residing abroad,
of "THE APPLICATION OF KNOWN MASTICS OR CEMENTS TO VARIOUS PURPOSES,
SUCH AS MODELLING STATUES, MAKING SLABS, RAISING OR IMPRESSING FIGURES
OR OTHER ORNAMENTAL APPEARANCES; ALSO TO THE COVERING OF HOUSES, OR
IN ANY OTHER MANNER IN WHICH MASTIC OR CEMENT MAY OR CAN BE APPLIED;"
in which said Letters Patent there is contained a proviso, that if I, the said
Moses Poole, shall not particularly describe and ascertain the nature of my

page_text: 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 six calendar months
next and immediately after the date of the said Letters Patent, that then the
said Letters Patent, and all liberties and advantages whatsoever thereby
granted, shall utterly cease, determine, and become void, as in and by the
same, relation being thereunto had, will more fully and at large appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
Moses Poole do hereby declare that the nature of the said Invention consists
of a new mode of covering houses, making cielings, partitions, floors, &c., which
may be removed or displaced at pleasure by fixing the composition on pannels
or timber work, the frames of the pannels being either made in wood or iron,
or cast metal, by way of rafters, to receive them, and are to be placed on
houses, either flat, horizontally, perpendicularly, or sloping, which must be
regulated so as to permit the water to run off.
A, in the annexed Drawing, is a frame of wood, iron, or cast metal, that may
be of any form or size. B are crossed pieces or traverses of timber or
metal, to hold the tablets, pannels, or tiles, attached together. C is a bed of
the cement finished. D, tiles of baked clay or pannels of wood. E, E, E,
are iron pins on the edge or side of the frame, for the purpose of connecting
the frame, and preventing their disjunction. F are claws or cramps for
fastening the frames together, to be secured by nails or screws.
On taking
away these claws or cramps, any of the pannels may be displaced and others
replaced wherever they may be wanted. The composition of any subject
of sculpture or architecal ornament, it is proposed to form its parts upon
tablets or cloths, as before described, and attach them together by iron or
other fastenings. It may be sometimes desirable, instead of pannels or tablets,
to form the cement or composition upon frames of platted or woven wire, as
scives. These tablets, when covered with cement, will be found extremely
desirable for the reception of paintings.
In witness whereof, I, the said Moses Poole, have hereunto set my hand'
and seal, this Tenth day of May, in the year of our Lord One thousand
eight hundred and nineteen.
