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.

that being so seised, Basil executed a power
of attorney to Benjamin authorizing him to

land, that afterwards the said Benjamin fold
the laid land to a certain William Gaither for
