page_text: HADDOCK, of Holloway, in the County of Middlesex, Chemist, send greeting.
WHEREAS His most Excellent Majesty George the Third King, by His
Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing date at West-
minster, the Twenty-third day of March now last, did, for Himself, His heirs
and successors, give and grant unto me, the said Uriah Haddock, my executors,
administrators, and assignes, His especial licence, that I and they, by myself
and themselves, or by my and their deputy and deputies, servants and agents,
and such others as I and they should at any time agree with, and no others,
from time to time and at all times thereafter during the term of fourteen
years therein expressed, should and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and
vend, within England, Wales, and the Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, my
Invention of "A NEW SPECIES OF PAINT, COLOUR, AND CEMENT, FOR PAINTING
AND COLOURING AND PRESERVING THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR OF HOUSES, SHIPS,
AND OTHER THINGS," in such manner as to me, my executors, administrators,
and assigns, should seem meet; to hold the said licence to me, my executors,
administrators, and assigns, for the term of fourteen years from the date of the
said Letters Patent immediately ensuing; and in which said Letters Patent is
contained a proviso obliging me, the said Uriah Haddock, particularly to
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, 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.

page_text: NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
Uriah Haddock, do hereby declare that the nature of my said Invention, and
the manner in which the same is to be performed, is particularly described
and ascertained in the explanation thereof now next following, that is
to say:
First, I take one hundred and twenty gallons of linseed, rape, or any of
the seed oils (linseed is preferable), or when intended for inferior purposes, I
employ whale, herring, or any, of the animal oils or fats in the like quantity of
one hundred and twenty gallons of the animal oil, but when animal fats are
used they must be employed in the proportion of seven pounds and half
avoirdupois to every gallon of oil, or oil and fat in the above quantities may
be mixed, but I prefer using them seperately. The said oil or fat I put into
a copper boiler over a slow fire, and with it, before it begins to boil, I mingle
one thousand two hundred pounds weight of any argillaceous earth, but I
prefer the purest that can be obtained, particularly when I want it for nice
and delicate purposes but when inferior argillaceous earths are employed, I
introduce into the" process so much extra argillaceous earth as will make up
for the quantity of impurity found in such inferior argillaceous earth; so that
there be one
thousand two hundred pounds weight net of pure argillaceous
earth. When the oil or fat is well mingled together, and kept gently boiling,
I pour in a sufficient quantity of water, either cold or boiled, to form the
whole into a substance similar in consistence to cream; I add, by-degrees,
four hundred and eighty pounds of vitreous oxide of lead, and keep the whole
gently boiling until it is formed into an alumino-metallic substance, which
alumino-metallic substance possesses properties peculiar to its own nature,
and forms an essential part of the merit of my Invention:
f.
Secondly, for the purpose of rendering the alumino metallic substance or
composition produced in the first part of my process soluble, I add to it, whilst
gently boiling, three hundred pounds weight of turpentine; or any other
resinous substance, and keep the same constantly stirring until blended
together.
Lastly, when not intended for fine purposes, I blend together, by means of
paint mills, or any other mechanical process proper for the purpose, five hun-
dred pounds weight of powdered iron scoriæ, or any of the oxides of iron, and
three hundred pounds weight of powdered plumbago, both finely ground, in
twenty gallons of spirit of turpentine, tar, or naptha, and mix the whole
together in the boiler with the alumino-metallic substance or composition
before mentioned, by stirring whilst gently boiling; but, when intended for fine
purposes, I omit the iron scoria and all oxide of iron, and also all plumbago.

page_text: The composition or cement is now fit for putting into casks for use, and
is particularly adapted to the covering of ships' bottoms and every other
substance requiring preservation from destruction by different changes of
atmosphere, sea and other water, barnacles, worms, and other insects. For
the purpose of forming paint I color the composition or cement with various
pigments according to the color required, of the quantity of eight hundred
pounds weight, and thin the same into a fit state for use with spirits of turpen-
tine, tar, or naptha.
In witness whereof, I, the said Uriah Haddock, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Twenty-first day of September, in the year of our
Lord One thousand eight hundred and sixteen.
Signed, sealed, and delivered (being first
duly stamped) in the presence of
