PATENT

Parchment Copying Paper
(Date of Patent, July 11th, 1852.)

This Parchment Paper is MUCH STRONGER, and shows a CLEARER COPY, than any other ever made for the purpose. The ink is LESS LIABLE TO SPREAD, and can be written upon with a pen.

DIRECTIONS FOR COPYING.
Place a piece of blotting board under the leaf of Copying Paper: then, with a soft brush, wet the leaf. Brush in the surplus water with the hand: then place the written letter on the leaf, (leaving the blotting-paper under the lead, to take up any excess of water that may yet remain,) place it in the Press, and in ten or fifteen seconds a perfect copy will be secured.

☞ The leaves WILL DRY AS SMOOTH AS SILK by placing the book in the Press after Copying. 

☞ Place the oil sheets between the copies jut made, to prevent blending or setting off.
