bookbinders in Glasgow and Euir.hursh are adopting it. 

 This is perhaps the best proof that can b'e given of it.'j utility. 

 The inventor has received certifica es irom the bookbinders 

 alluded to, uhich will be sent to the Societv, if, they think 

 the prc'3 .V if hy of their notice. Mr. Hardie, in desiring 

 me to subiiiit the model to the inspection of the Society, has 

 in view chie'lv tb benefit the bookbinders in' places remote 

 from his residence ; an object u'hich he thinks cannot'bc so 

 well attained in any. other way, as by the publicity which 

 the Society is able to give to improvements deserving of its 

 notice. 



The improvement of this simple instrument has cost Mr. 

 Kardie much time, and even expense; and he will be glad 

 to receive any remuneration from the Society which they 

 Hiay think his inveution deserves. 



I am, sir. 

 Your most humble servant, 



A. TiLLOCH.

The princi])al difierence between this and the press which 

 has been for time imn:iemorial employed by the bookinders, 

 consisis in eirecling the business by one iron screw instead 

 of two wooden ones formerly used. This screw works in a 

 nut let into and fastened to the top piece A, (Fig. '5. Plate V.) 

 its lower end working in a collar, fastened to the moving 

 piece B, sliding in grooves within the two sides of the 

 frame. CC are the guides for the plour^h, as iu the com- 

 mon press.
