March 26 mw&lim The following memorial from Samue Hopkins, was read in the House of Re* prefentatives of tills Commonwealth, the 19th inli. To the Speaker and Members of the At lembly of Pc. fylvania : THE Subscriber apprehends he has at great labour and expence much improved on the common mode of manufacturing pot and pearl alhea, for which improve ment the United States have granted him, an exclusive right for a term of year 9. The advantages over the furmer is set forth by diveis*Certificates, one of which signed by David Rittenhoufe, Doftot Rulh and others, hath been publiflnd- By variety of improvements in the application of the principle, he apprehends he lias so far fim plffy'd it, that at small expenee it may be conduced by women or chddren, altho' larger the works greater the profits result ing in proportion. In a work that maycoft about 12 dollars to be worked by a boy of 12 or 13 years old, with attention, may make 150 weight of pearl ashes, an j with good house ashes at 9d per bufhtl, wood at 20s per cord ; the pearl ashes so made when fold at the common price of 50 s P er hund red,leaves about 40s for his week's labour. The process is allowed to be easy and fami liar, one of those small works is now Hand ing at his house in Arch Street No. 43, and is free for infpeftion to any thqt inclines to visit it; he therefore wishes a suitable Committee may be appointed, one 01" more members of each County to examine the fame, fee tome experiments performed, and should it be thought after every neeef fary examination, this improvement prefer able to the former, and a general benefit to this State, in bringing forward this ma tt ufa&ury in which little heretofore hawe been done, he willing to relinquish his afor faid right,as saras relates to Pennsylvania, for such a compensation as the merits of it may appear reasonable todcfire. SAMUEL HOPKINS. 2d Mo. 19, 1764. A work that may cost about 300 dollars when compleat with 4 large boilers worked by 2 fires, 2 hands may make as much pearl ashes as common black salts, perhaps 18 or 20 cwt. per week, it may require about 7 cord of wood. The quantity made in a certain given time, will always depend oaths attention of the woikmeiu _ the fiee of the furnace, the quality of the ashes, &c. &c. The Committee appointed Feb. 25,laft, on the memorial of Samuel Hopkins, made report, which was lead as follows, viz : The Committee to whom was refered the application of Samuel Hopkins to the Legislature, on lhe,fubje£t of an improve ment discovered by him in the manufac tury of pot and bearl ashes, beg leave to to report—That they think favourably of the prayer of the said applicant, and aie of opinion that it will beadvantageous'for the State to have the mode invented by him, rendered of general utility, by the purchase of his exclusive privilidge in the discovery, which they understand may be effetted on very moderate terms; they therefore recommend the following resolu tion : Rtfolved, That a Committee be ap pointed to bring in a bill to grant the furo of £ to Samuel Hopkins, in re ward of his discovery, and as a compensa tion for the surrender of his exclusive right to said improvement, within the limits of this commonwealth.
