OR PROCESS OF IMPRESSING THE JAPAN UPON ORNAMENTED. HANDLES OR SCALES OF
KNIVES, FORKS, RAZORS, AND OTHER CUTLERY WARE, MADE OF WOOD, PAPER, &C.
IN IMITATION OF HANDLES MADE OF TIP OR HORN;" in which said Letters Patent
there is contained a proviso, obliging me, the said Joseph Eyre, by an instru-
ment in writing under my hand and seal, to cause a particular description
of the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be enrolled in His Majesty's High Court of Chancery within

page_text: NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
Joseph Eyre, do hereby declare that my said Invention is described in manner
following, that is to say:-
Take a printed or prest haft-handle or scale, and mark it for the purpose of
replacing it afterwards in its former position in the press; then japan and dry
it repeatedly, till a sufficient body of japan is upon the handle; then take the
press and heat it in a furnace to a proper degree of heat, so as not to damage
the japan; then put the haft into the press, and the press into the vice, and
screw the vice up till it closes. The press forces the heat upon the japan,
which makes it pliable, so as to take the impression without damaging the
japan, and, by a proper degree of heat being applied, gives a fine polish.
In witness whereof, I, the said Joseph Eyre, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, the Tenth day of January, in the year of our Lord One
Extra in Chancery.

said, and all and every thing therein contained in form above written. And
also the Specification aforesaid was stamped according to the tenor of the
Statute in that case made and provided.

mixture of them, ad libitum, or till the acid menstruum is fully saturated there-
with and will dissolve no more. Or I take wood acid, or any other empyreu-
matic acid, or any mixture of them, or mixed with any other suitable acid or
substance or composition, and I proceed to dissolve therein lead or calx of
lead, or lead in any other state, or any mixture of them, in the same manner
as above mentioned; I then filter the solution, and leave it awbile at rest, and
then decant and filter it again to separate the impurities; then I bring it to any
desired degree of greater specific gravity by evaporation, and by evaporation
and timely intermissions thereof, the solution will, at particular periods of the
process, form into crystals. Thus I make the solution, and by evaporation or
by crystalization, or by using both means, bring the solution to any required
consistence, strength, or specific gravity; and this article in each distinct state
is my lead saccharum for the use of calico printers, which I apply also for
making white lead and yellow lead and lead of any other colour for paint, and
for several other useful purposes.
