NOW KNOW YE, that in obedience to the said Letters Patent, and the
proviso therein contained, I, the said Richard Warren, do hereby declare the
nature of my new Invention to be, and that the same is performed as follows
(that is to say):
Beat six pounds of the best Jordan almonds in a mortar, as fine as you can,
and sift the powder through a small sieve; add thereto six pounds of the true
Florentine oris root, beat and sifted as aforesaid, and mix the powders well
together; lay a sufficient layer of the above conjoined powders, and thereon
place a pair of the very best kid leather gloves, turned inside out, and over
them lay another layer of the powders, and then another pair of gloves, as
before, and so on, stratum super stratum, to the extent of two dozen pair of
gloves (for which the above quantity of the powders will be sufficient), taking
care that the uppermost pair of gloves are well covered with the powders.
In this state let the gloves continue fourteen days. At the end of the fourteen
days take twelve pounds of oris powder alone, prepared as before mentioned,
and add thereto one ounce of the best essential oil of roses, and the same
quantity of the best oil of jessamine, and mix the same very well together;
then lay the gloves in this mixter, stratum super stratum, as before directed, and
let them lye therein twenty-eight days, at the expiration of which time put to
half a pound of cotton an ounce of the essential oil of roses, and let it be wel
carded; then lay the cotton and gloves alternately, stratum super stratum, as
before mentioned, taking care the cotton is under and over all the gloves, and

and they are ready for use.

hand and seal, this Seventh day of April, in the twenty-first 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
