myself, conclude these directions with a sketch of all 

 the apparatus put together, for shooting : 



Intricate as this may appear, in explanation, I can 

 assure my readers that I have used it on salt water for 

 four successive winters, and had no trouble whatever 

 in keeping it free from rust, except having to anoint 

 it, occasionally, with mercurial ointment, and keep it 

 always greasy, by means of working, with a brush, into 

 every part of it, plenty of neat's foot oil. Moreover, I 

 had no occasion to take the apparatus to pieces till the 

 end of each shooting season. 



TRIAL of the great double gun, after being fresh 

 bored by Tom Fullerd and John Hussey, in presence 

 of Mr. Joseph Manton and myself (attended by Mr. 

 Charles Manton, Penn, Hussey, Asell and son, and most 

 of the best workmen), at Bayswater Firing-ground, 

 May 2, 1827.
