INSCRIPTIONS ON MEDALS, TESTIMONIALS, ETC. 



Certificates from L. D. Gale ; Prof. B. Silliman, and Proffa. J. C. Booth and H. M. Boje. Copy- 

 right of original Specification of Patent, 184L 



As a part of the history of the origin of these discoveries and 

 inventions, there are here given copies of a few Certificates, 

 Testimonials and Reports, made at an early date by individuals 

 who at the time of wanting them gave particular attention to 

 the subjects alluded to by them respectively. The names of 

 the authors of these papers, with whose high standing the 

 public are well acquainted, render it unnecessary to do any 

 thing more than present them. It may however be observed 

 that they are given by parties who would not be likely to be 

 ignorant of facts in chemistry relating to a radical change in 

 a raw material, which change had long been a public deside- 

 ratum.
