ENGLISH PATENTS; being a Register of all those granted for Inventions in the Arts, Manufactures, Chemistry, Agriculture, &c. With copious Index.

By ANDREW PRITCHARD, M.R.I.

This Annual contains a register of all the patents granted in each year; the title, date, and name of inventor; distinguishing those produced in foreign countries from those native. Alphabetical lists both of names and subjects being given, an easy reference is obtained.

To the manufacturer the importance of this work must be at once apparent, as it embraces improvements in nearly every branch of art and science, and enables him to ascertain what processes and articles he is restricted from using or making, and the period when they become public property. To inventors, many are the uses for which a list of this kind is available: besides offering them a ready means of ascertaining whether others have directed their attention to the same subjects, it enables them, if such be the case, to determine whether the inventions are similar, or what parts are claimed by former patentees, and whether they can secure their invention to themselves without infringement of an existing patent.

To each annual list is appended some valuable information relating to subjects connected with inventions. The “English Patents,” 1841, has appended a copy of letters patent as now granted in England, by which inventors are enabled to form some idea of the rights and privileges they acquire by a patent. Also an abstract of the consolidated act, which commenced its operation in September, 1842, whereby inventors or manufacturers may secure to themselves the sole right of making and selling, for terms not exceeding three years, any new design on articles of manufacture, or for any novelty in the pattern, shape, configuration, or ornament thereof. The orders of the Lords of the Treasury respecting the charges to be made for such registrations, the names of articles registered, &c. are given.

The “English Patents” granted in 1842 will contain, in addition to the List and Index, some observations on foreign patents, which, it is conceived, will be useful to inventors generally, but more especially to those who have obtained English patents.

This Annual will be published as soon after the close of each year as the collecting, arranging, and printing the work will permit.

AN ENCYCLOPÆDIA of TREES and SHRUBS; being the Arboretum et Fruticetum Britannicum abridged, for the use of Nurserymen, Gardeners, and Foresters.

The abridgment of the Arboretum et Fruticetum Britannicum contains:—

1. Characters and short popular descriptions of all the species and varieties of hardy trees and shrubs now in British gardens, with directions for their culture; including the soil most suitable for them, their propagation, and their uses in the arts, and more especially in landscape-gardening and profitable planting.

2. Engravings of all the species which are described, to one and the same scale, of which a figure, 1, a beautiful new species of Cytisus (Cytisus Weldenii), and fig. 2, a species of pine from Mexico (Pinus Teocotes), are here given as specimens.

3. The scientific names and scientific synonymes of all the species, and their popular names in the languages of the different countries where they are indigenous or cultivated.

4. An alphabetical index to all the species and varieties, with their synonymes.

5. A tabular analysis of the leaves, by which the name of any species of tree or shrub described in the work may, in general, be discovered, from a small portion of a shoot with the leaves on.

6. Specific characters, descriptions, and figures of some species, more particularly of pines, firs, and oaks, which were not in the country in 1838, when the large work was completed.

7. An analysis of the commoner trees and shrubs of Britain, with reference to their uses in plantations, useful or ornamental, their adaptation for particular soils and situations, their flowers and time of flowering, &c. &c.

In a word, though this abridgment does not include all the interesting and useful information on the natural history of trees which will be found in the larger work, or any of the portraits of entire trees which constitute so distinguished a feature in it, yet it contains all that is necessary to enable the reader to discover the names of the different species, and to ascertain their culture, propagation, and uses in Britain; in short, all that is essential for the nurseryman, gardener, and forester.

The ARBORETUM FRUTICETUM et BRITANNICUM;

In 8 vols.: four of letter-press, illustrated by above 2500 engravings, and four of octavo and quarto plates.

This work is in three divisions:—

I. The history of the introduction of trees and shrubs into Britain, and the history and geography of the trees and shrubs of temperate climates throughout the world; shewing the trees and shrubs which are already in the country, and those which yet remain to be introduced. This occupies 250 pages of vol. I.

II. A description of all the trees and shrubs, hardy and half-hardy, cultivated in Britain; in which is given their history, geography, uses, propagation, culture, diseases, insects, mosses, lichens, fungi, &c., occupying the remaining part of vol. I. and the whole of vols. II., III., and IV.

III. Portraits of trees of from ten to twelve years’ growth, of which the accompanying figure of the Chilian pine (Araucaria imbricata) may serve as a specimen, growing within ten miles of London, all drawn to the same scale of one inch to four feet, and accompanied by botanical specimens of their winter’s wood, leaves, flowers, and fruit, all drawn to the scale of one-sixth of an inch to a foot. Besides the young trees, there are portraits of full-grown trees of all the more important species, in order to shew the character which they assume when of mature age. Some of these are drawn in foliage, of which a figure of the Cyprus of Mistra, the largest cyprus in the world, is given as a specimen; and others, taken in winter, when divested of their foliage, of which the accompanying figure of the common Beech (Fagus sylvatica) is an illustration. These are drawn to a scale of one inch to twelve feet. This mode of giving portraits of trees and botanical specimens to a fixed scale, has been adopted in “The Arboretum Britannicum” for the first time, and it gives that work a decided superiority over all previous publications on the same subject. This division of the work occupies vols. V., VI., VII., and VIII.

The first four volumes of “The Arboretum” are illustrated with upwards of 2500 engravings, chiefly of botanical specimens, but including also insects, fungi, engravings of the leaves of the natural size of all the species of several genera, portraits of remarkable trees or shrubs (such as Johnson’s willow, the cypress of Soma, &c.); nearly fifty remarkable oaks, above ten remarkable yew trees, the king and queen beeches at Ashridge, and many other remarkable beech trees, remarkable elms, ashes, poplars, pines, firs, &c. &c.; portraits, taken during winter, to shew the effect of the different deciduous trees at that season; landscapes, exhibiting the effect of the particular kinds of trees, when employed by the landscape-gardener, in combination with other trees, or with buildings; ground-plans, shewing the mode of laying out and planting arboretums, fruticetums, cricacetums, rosariums, &c.; diagrams, shewing trellises and other structures for training climbing shrubs, the mode of forming fences of particular shrubs, of making baskets, &c., of willow-rods, of forming surface drains for arboretums, of sawing up timber for sale, as practised in Norway, &c. &c. In short, the work embraces every part of the subject of the study of the hardy trees and shrubs of Britain.

KEENE’S PATENT MARBLE CEMENT.—This cement, which exceeds every other in hardness, is intended for interior uses, where strength and despatch in execution are required. From the smoothness of its surface, it is an advantageous substitute for wood in its application to skirtings, architrave, mouldings, &c., as it resists the action of fire, and keeps back vermin.

The coarse qualities form a paving not distinguishable from stone in colour and hardness, but of one-third the price. The best white quality takes a brilliant polish, and the scagliola made from this cement has a peculiar richness of colouring. The imitations produced in it of Florentine and other Mosaics, encaustic tiles, &c., for ornamental paving, are unequalled in their effect and moderate cost.

Keene’s Cement has been applied with success for the altars of Catholic and other churches, both in England and Ireland; and to its use in the royal palaces and government buildings, besides numerous and private works, the patentees can refer with confidence.

An unabated zeal will be maintained to continue the patronage so liberally bestowed by men of business.

Steel Pen Manufacturer in Ordinary to Her Majesty.

JOSEPH GILLOTT’S very superior PATENT and other METALLIC PENS may be had of all Stationers, Booksellers, and other Dealers in Pens throughout the United Kingdom.

The great superiority of these Pens, and the Public’s approbation, is attested by the continually increasing demand for them, and their entire adoption at the Bank of England, and Her Majesty’s Public Offices, where, it is known, the best articles only are admitted.

NUMBER OF PENS MANUFACTURED AT THE WORKS OF
JOSEPH GILLOTT.

From Oct. 1837, to Oct. 1838,
was 35,808,452
or 2,984,037 dozen
or 248,669 gross
From Oct. 1838, to Oct. 1839,
was 44,654,702
or 3,721,225 dozen

From Dec. 1840, to Dec. 1841,

or 431,437 gross

These Pens are made in every variety, suitable for the MEDICAL and LEGAL PROFESSIONS, BANKING, MERCANTILE, and GENERAL PURPOSES, and for SCHOOLS.

It is requisite to state, as a general “CAUTION,” that the name, “JOSEPH GILLOTT,” is marked in full on EVERY GENUINE PEN, and Vendors are desired to note that his Cards of Pens are made up in Packets of One Dozen each, and have a label outside, with a fac-simile of his Signature.

The Genuine GILLOTT’S PENS may usually be obtained at the regular dealers’ shops at as low prices as are generally demanded by itinerant dealers, and others, for those very inferior articles which are frequently palmed upon the Public as the real GILLOTT’S PENS.

☞ At the request of Persons extensively engaged in Tuition, J. G. has introduced his WARRANTED SCHOOL PENS, which are especially adapted to their use, being of different degrees of flexibility, and with fine, medium, and broad points.

WHOLESALE AND FOR EXPORTATION AT THE
WAREHOUSE, 95, NEW-STREET, BIRMINGHAM,
ALSO AT
37, GRACECHURCH-STREET, LONDON,

Under the Management of Mr. FOX, from the Manufactory, or from any of the WHOLESALE STATIONERS and MERCHANTS in London, &c.

The great superiority of these Pens has induced their entire adoption in the Bank of England and Her Majesty’s Public Offices, where it is known none but the best articles are admitted: such as the Home and Foreign Offices, the Admiralty and other Public Boards, the Offices of the India Board, the various Offices at Somerset-House, the British Museum Library, &c., the General Post-Office, and others; as well as by a large number of Bankers, Merchants, and Manufacturers, throughout the Country, and many Public and Private Schools.

CAUTION TO FAMILIES.

The high reputation of, and consequent great demand for the undermentioned Preparations, have excited the cupidity of some SHOPKEEPERS of apparent respectability, but destitute alike of honour and of talent, who, for the sake of gaining a trifle more profit, basely attempt to impose their pernicious compounds upon the public as the real “MACASSAR OIL” for the Hair, and “KALYDOR” for the Complexion; they copy the bills and labels of the original articles, substituting either a fictitious name or the word “GENUINE” in the place of “ROWLAND’S.”

To frustrate such imposition—it is necessary on purchasing either article, to see that the word “ROWLAND’S” is on the wrapper, as follows, without which None are Genuine.

ROWLAND’S MACASSAR OIL,

for the Growth, and for Beautifying the Human Hair.

Price 3s. 6d.; 7s.; or Family Bottles (equal to four small), 10s. 6d.; and double that size, 21s. per bottle.

ROWLAND’S KALYDOR,

for the Skin and Complexion.—Price 4s. 6d. and 8s. 6d. per bottle.

ROWLAND’S ODONTO,

Or PEARL DENTRIFICE,

renders the Teeth beautifully White, and preserves the Gums.

Price 2s. 9d. per box, duty included.

A. ROWLAND & SON, 20, HATTON GARDEN, LONDON,

is written in red on the wrappers of the Macassar Oil and Kalydor, and engraven on the Government Stamp affixed on the Kalydor and the Odonto.

Be sure to ask for “Rowland’s” Articles.

Sold by them and by respectable Chemists and Perfumers.

COMPOSITION FOR WRITING WITH STEEL PENS.

STEPHENS’ WRITING FLUID.

THESE COMPOSITIONS, which have so remarkably extended the use of the STEEL PEN, are brought to very great perfection, being more easy to write with, more durable, and in every respect preferable to the ordinary Ink. In warm climates they have become essential—they consist of:—

A BLUE FLUID, changing to an intense Black colour.

PATENT UNCHANGEABLE BLUE FLUIDS, remaining a deep Blue colour.

A SUPERIOR BLACK INK, of the common character, but more fluid.

A SUPERIOR CARMINE RED for Contrast Writing.

A CARBONACEOUS RECORD INK, unchangeable by any Chemical Agent.

Also a new kind of MARKING INK for Linen: and Inkholders adapted for preserving Ink from Evaporation or Dust.

Bottles at 3d. each, convenient for writing from are prepared, which will enable those who may wish to try either of these articles to do so at a small expense.

Prepared by HENRY STEPHENS, the Inventor, 54, Stamford-street, Blackfriars-road, London, and sold by Stationers and Booksellers.

N.B. These unchangeable Blue Fluids are Patent articles; the Public are therefore cautioned against imitations, which are infringements: to sell or use which is illegal.

STEPHENS’ SELECT STEEL PENS.

The utmost possible care having been bestowed upon the manufacture of these articles, so as to procure the highest finish, they can be confidently recommended both for flexibility and durability.

CORY’S POWDERS FOR CHILDREN

Are recommended to mothers and nurses, not only as a remedy, but as a preventative in all cases of teething, measles, scarlet fever, hooping-cough, small-pox, convulsions from worms and teething, wasting of the limbs, jaundice, fits, diarrhœa, chicken-pox, thrush, &c.

OROPHOLITHE is a composition, which being impervious to wet, and proof against atmospheric action, is peculiarly adapted for roofs and floorings. It is also a substitute for oil-cloth, a covering for terraces, for wainscoting, and from its portability, for emigrants’ houses. It is light, durable, and very considerably cheaper than any material such as zinc, lead, or oil-cloth, for which it may be substituted with great advantage. A temporary small house and other specimens may be seen at the Manufactory, 1, Gough-street North, near Calthorpe-street, Gray’s-Inn Road.

THE PATENT RAMONEUR[3] ASSOCIATION, FOR PROMOTING THE SWEEPING OF CHIMNEYS BY MACHINERY.—CENTRAL OFFICE, 34, FOLEY-PLACE, PORTLAND-PLACE.

[3] From the French verb “Ramoner,” to sweep.

In consequence of an Act passed August 7, 1840, intituled, “An Act for the Regulation of Chimney-sweepers and Chimneys,” by which it is enacted, “That from and after the first of July, 1842, any person who shall compel or knowingly allow any child or young person, under the age of twenty-one years, to ascend or descend a chimney or enter a flue for the purpose of sweeping, cleaning, or coring the same, or for extinguishing a fire therein, shall be liable to a penalty of not more than ten pounds, or less than five pounds,”—all chimneys from henceforth must be cleaned and swept by machinery.

This Association of gentlemen has its origin in an earnest desire to promote a cause which has long occupied the attention of the warmest friends of humanity, and to give decided and practical effect to the provisions of the above-mentioned Act of Parliament.

In responding to the call of humanity, by the entire abolition of the unseemly and afflicting practice of cleansing chimneys by the direct agency of the Living Infant Sweeper, the authority of the Legislature has been exercised to confer a public benefit, in the abatement of an evil of great magnitude, and a fruitful source of lasting misery. It only remains that the detail of minor arrangements be carried out in the way that may seem the best adapted to perfecting the working of the Act, and accomplish the requisite changes, consistently with the public sense of fitness and propriety.

This Association, therefore, brings before the country an efficacious means of obviating, for the future, the necessity or any approach to the evils of the old system, in accordance with the general feeling and opinion on the subject, and in strict and active furtherance of the law as it now stands.

The considerations which the Association desire to lay before the public arrange themselves under the following general heads:—

The well-known and acknowledged difficulty and danger of the old process, and the dangerous exposure and risk to property, in large masses, from the imperfect performance of former methods.

The harsh, not to say hard and cruel, treatment of the infant sweeper, from a necessity (in a certain degree, perhaps) inseparable from the nature of the old process, and the effects of prescriptive custom, as exercised by unenlightened masters.

The unerring and perfect performance of the Association’s new Machinery, coupled with its simplicity of construction, its great effective power, and its ease of management.

The great importance of its certain effect in the immediate extinction of accidental fire in chimneys.

The great practical economy effected to the public through the perfect operation of the Machines, and the consequent incalculable increase of convenience in the domestic arrangements,—as all the chimneys of a house can be perfectly swept at one visit, in much less time than is now required; with a guaranteed security, for the due performance of the specific duty undertaken, and against injury or loss from carelessness, mismanagement, or depredation.

The Association has also in view the very important objects of affording complete relief to the entire class of sweeping adults and children, by elevating them from their present degraded and enslaved condition to the rank of well-ordered, decently-appointed, and justly-paid workmen.

The date of each application for sweeping chimneys in a house, and of the execution of the order, with the names of the workmen employed, will be entered in the books of the Association, at their principal office, 34, Foley-place: thus affording satisfactory proof, in cases of fire, of the chimneys having been properly swept, where the cause of fire may be the subject of legal controversy; and preventing any disposition on the part of the labourer to commit petty offences, from the absolute certainty of immediate detection.

The PATENT RAMONEUR ASSOCIATION, to carry out these great objects, have appointed respectable persons as Agents to receive orders; and will employ workmen of known good character, provided with suitable dresses to carry on the operation; giving them thus a cleaner and more decent appearance, when not absolutely employed at work, than is at present witnessed; and who, in lieu of the scanty and precarious pittance hitherto allowed them, will receive wages of sufficient amount to afford them the comforts and secure to them the self-respect enjoyed by other mechanical labourers.

The Association beg to inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Public, that, under these arrangements, on application being made at the Central Office, a workman and assistant will attend with the Machine, and, if necessary at the first trial, the Superintendent will himself be present at the operation. The usual rate charged for each chimney, under the old system of Machinery, will not be exceeded; and should it be desired, houses may be contracted for by the year, on the same terms as heretofore; no extra charge being made for machinery, or for the greater convenience, cleanliness, and security of property, afforded by the arrangements of the Association.

W. S. TROTTER, Secretary.

Superintendent, Mr. W. Speller, 30, Berkeley-street West, Edgware-road.

⁂ In connexion with this establishment, the Association has introduced a Patent Chimney-pot, which effectually cures the downward draught, and supersedes the use of “cowls,” which cannot escape fracture by the Machinery employed in sweeping the chimneys.

MOST IMPORTANT INVENTION.

THE PATENT STUCCO PAINT CEMENT.—This truly valuable preparation, the satisfactory result of a long series of experiments, after having been subjected to the most rigid tests, is now offered with confidence to the public, as possessing the following extraordinary qualities, which must at once insure for it a preference over any Cement yet manufactured.

Architects, Engineers, Contractors, Builders, Masons, Plasterers, and the Trade are referred to the undermentioned properties of this valuable discovery, which is secured by Patent to its Inventors and Proprietors.

1. Its strong adhesive properties, fixing most tenaciously to the smoothest surfaces, even to glass.

2. Its being highly repellent of water, and thoroughly impervious to wet or damp.

3. The chemical peculiarity of its composition does not admit of the possibility of its vegetating, and thereby becoming discoloured.

4. The safe and gradual rapidity with which it dries; hardening the more by the greater exposure to the atmosphere.

5. Its perfect freedom from any of the caustic qualities of Lime Stuccoes; and consequently,

6. It may be painted upon as soon as dry, a property possessed by no other Cement whatever.

7. It is not in the slightest degree affected by frost.

8. It may be kept in the cask as delivered from the Manufactory for any length of time without deterioration, not requiring to be used (as other Cements are) immediately after being manufactured. To Merchants, therefore, and Exporters, even to the remotest parts of the globe, this Cement will form a most important item of commerce.

9. To Engineers and Conductors of Public Works, the use of this Cement is strongly recommended in lieu of mortar, particularly in the construction of Railway Arches and Tunnelling; its peculiarly tenacious property forming one hardened mass with the brick or masonry, or with whatever material it may be used; and it will be found particularly valuable in laying and pointing roofs, whether of slate or tile, in the most exposed situations, rendering the whole roof fixed and immoveable.

This Cement is sold in a fluid state, fit for its mixture with the sand, at 14s. per cwt.: the proportions being one fourth-part of the fluid to three-fourths of sand, thereby reducing the price of this Cement considerably below that of any other yet offered to the public.

One coat of the Cement, so prepared, is sufficient to cover at once a Brick Front, without any preparatory coat of lime, seven pounds of the fluid Cement being consumed in covering the square yard; but when laid on Lime Plaster, four pounds’ weight to the square yard will be found enough.

Messrs. Johns and Co., of Plymouth (the Patentees), are now prepared to execute orders to any extent; and beg to intimate that they have appointed Messrs. Mann and Co., of No. 5, Maiden-lane, Queen-street, London, as their Sole Agents, at whose Warehouse any quantity may be procured, specimens may be seen, and every information obtained, and to whom all communications are to be addressed.
