page_text: TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, ABRAHAM
BUZAGLO, of Catherine Street, in the Parish of Saint Mary le Strand, Warming
Machine Maker, send greeting.
WHEREAS His most Excellent Majesty King George the Third, by His
Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing date the
Eighth day of June, in the ninth year of His reign, did give and grant unto
me, the said Abraham Buzaglo, His especial licence that I, the said Abraham
Buzaglo, 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.
my Invention of "A WARMING MACHINE, MADE EITHER OF COPPER, BRASS, TIN,
PEWTER, LEAD, STEEL, IRON PLATE, BELL OR ANY OTHER METTAL, TO ACT WITHOUT
ANY FIRE, AND ADAPTED TO KEEP THE FEET OF PERSONS WARM IN COACHES, CHARIOTS,
POST CHAISES, STAGES, AND WAGGONS, AND ALL OTHER SORTS OF CARRIAGES, IN THE
SEVEREST FROSTS, THE HEAT OF WHICH MAY BE DIMINISHED OR INCREASED AT
PLEASURE WITHOUT EITHER EXPENCE OR TROUBLE, AND WILL HAVE THE SAME EFFECT
BY SEA OR IN ANY ROOMS;" in which said Letters Patent there is contained a
proviso, obliging me, the said Abraham Buzaglo, under my hand and seal, to
cause a particular description of the nature of my said Invencon, and how
the same is to be performed, to be inrolled in His Majesty's High Court of
Chancery within four calendar 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.
NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said provisoe, I the said
Abraham Buzaglo, do hereby declare that my said Invention of a warming

page_text: machine, made either of copper, brass, tin, pewter, lead, steel, iron plate,
wrought or hammered iron, bell or any other metal, toothaneg, composition of
metals or earths, of stone or china, to act without any fire, and adapted to keep
the feet of persons warm in coaches, chariots, post chaises, sedan chairs, stages,
and waggons, and all other sorts of carriages, in the severest frosts, the heat of
which may be diminished or increased at pleasure, without either expence or
trouble, and will have the same effect by sea, or in any rooms, and even in pews
of churches, and other purposes and places, is described in the manner
following (that is to say):-
It is immaterial how they are shaped or of what size, and will have the
same effect if they are made square, round, oblong, or square at bottom and
round at the top, square or round corners and flat or round at the top, in
one or in different joints, the joints seperate, each by itself or joyned together.
Machines intended for warming of feet in carriages must be from eighteen or
twenty inches long and nine or ten inches wide, to four feet long and nine or ten
inches wide; it matters not if they are made longer or shorter, and to be at least
two inches deep, more or less, and the more water they contain, the more heat,
and will retain the heat longer. To retain the heat in carriages, it is requisite
to have the machine buried either in the bottom of the carriage, or in a wooden
box, and either the bottom of the carriage or the wooden box must be lined
either with thick baize, thick blanket, thick swanskin, or any other thing fit for
the purpose; and the upper part of the machine must be covered with any sort
of carpet, the thicker the better. To regulate the heat it is necessary to have two
or three different carpets for coverings to the top of the machine; and the more
carpet you lay under the feet, the more moderate will the heat be, and with once
filling with boiling water will keep the feet warm for eight or ten hours in the
severest frost. Machines for dining-rooms, parlours, or.bed chambers may be
made with or without the wooden box, no matter what shape or size, but must
be put into a flannel or swanskin bag, or any thing else to answer the purpose
to moderate the heat, as aforesaid, in the other machine to warm carriages
All machines made for the above uses to act with warm water only must have
an interior support, made of either copper, brass, iron, or any sort of mettal, to
prevent their drawing flatt, or in holes or hollows, and strong enough to bea
the heaviest person's weight without giving way to the.weight.
In witness whereof; I, the. said Abraham Buzaglo, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, the Sixteenth day of August, One thousand seve
A. BUZAGLO. (L.S.).
