This is to certify that we were called upon
to witness the Patent Proras for. Tanning
leather, inventqd inhad patented by our tOiwns

Ieye witnesse to his process ot tanning in

nualke giod upper Leather for coarse shoes.
wu ase fully of the opinion that his process
is as good as reeaumended in his adver

To the Puhlic.
'$v advertiaemnt in tbeiewspaners of a
patent process for Tanning Leather, has
called forth so much correspondence and so
spany inquiries concerning its, operations,
that I have thoughtft to issue .a Circular
f answering the much soug4t efefe infosr-s
tion.
L, I am tbh Inventor andPatentee, and' the
Patent has been allowcd b- ihC authoritids
a: Richmond: My. prolesb is a domestic
e chemitCal'one, such as Can he obtained ffom
n he herbs of the woods rn the country, and I
use Sumac as a base in Tanning: AU the
ingredients are pl1nrtitl in the Southern
ehuntry: Vats or troughs used in the old
process-will answer eyery purpose in the
neWy, only it doss notor~qrure half so many:
The Leather luo'ks as well and is as good in
quality or bectter, than that tanned by the
old bark iprocc'a I laeve had the process
throlxghly tested and witnursed by worthy.
