A very ingenious apparatus for the improvement of through the vat near or at the bottom, will deliver the 
diftilleries, has been recently invented by Mr. Henry fleam, which may have been condenfed on the outfide of 
Tickell, brewer, at Whitechapel. This apparatus is alio the vat or veffel I., inftead of letting it mix with the li- 
applicable to the feveral purpofes of diflblving and ex- quor under fermentation, as it does in the way fpecified 
trading the yirtues of any kind of vegetable or animal above. Nos. 10, metal pipes, through which the fleam, 
fnbftances, whether deftined for the purpofes of diftilla- arifing from the boilers or veflels G, C, or F, may be- 
tion; or for brewing,-dying, fugar-refining, See. It is applied to the ufe of working a fleam-engine, or to any 
conflruded of various fizes and forms, both double and other purpofe to which fleam is applicable. No. n, air- 
fingle, fo as to be competent to works in the large way, valves, with a counterbalancing weight for regulating 
or adapted to the ufe of the apothecary, or for the dorr.ef- the boiler while at work. No. 12, a fleam-valve, for re- 
tic purpofe of diftiliing herbs, forming compound waters, gulating the boiler F while at work ; the boiler G is alfo 
&c. One of this defeription is exhibited in the preced- furnifhed with correfponding air and fleam valves. No. 
ing engraving, at fig. 4. But for the purpofe of conduding 13, an air-valve, with a counterbalancing weight for re- 
buiinefs in the large way, the conftrudion is on a grand gulating the veffel C while at work. No. 14, a fleam- 
fcale, and very Ample, though from the number of its valve for regulating the veffel C while at work. Nos. 15,
