ceafe (Mr. Whitbread died in June, 1796)

activity to the above-mentioned legacy, by 
entering into a fubfcription towards the laud-

An ingenious artift “of Norwich has in- 
vented and made a lock, which is reported 
tocxceed every machine of the kind hitherto 
conftruéted. Its principle is very fimple, 
being unlocked according to literal combina- 
tions dire€yed by three indexes, each divided 
into forty compartments; yet fo numerous 
are the changes of which it is fufceptible, 
that a man’s life would probably be employed 
unfuccefsfully in the attempt to unlock it, 
even fuppofing him acquainted withthe prin- 
ciple of its formation, but ignofant of its li- 
teral pofiticen. %
