1. This machine fhall, in ten hours, worked 

 by one horfe, (with a boy to drive, and a man to 

 feed the machine, clear off the draw, &c.) fairly 

 threfh as much corn as what is ufually e Hi mated 

 the work of eight men for that time, in the com- 

 mon way of two threfhing together. 



2. In order that this machine may be both lad- 

 ing and generally ufeful, the inventor engages as 

 follows : Firft, That all its parts fhall confift of

 fuch as may be contained, and conveniently work- 

 ed within a common barn, with the addition only 

 of a fmall hovel againft one fide of it. 



3. A trial of one of thefe machines is intended 

 to be at Belford aforefaid, before all, or as many 

 of the fubferibers as can attend, within one month 

 after fifty fubferiptions are completed, of which 

 particular notice will be given. 



4. If at this trial it is fully proved, that the 

 machine anfwers the conditions before mentioned, 

 and fecurity is given, that each fubferiber fnall in 

 his turn (according to the method the fubferibers 

 appoint for diftributing them) have a machine de- 

 livered to him, or order, at Belford, every way as 

 good as the trial machine ; each of the fubferibers 

 fhall then pay the fum of 5/. in part of 42/. the 

 full confideration- money for one complete ma- 

 chine. The remainder of the laid fum of 42 L 

 to be paid at the delivery of each machine, by
