it is stated that they were, on the card or label, that is placed with them. They are from the same manufactory which those are that are mentioned under No. 844, in the next article of this report.

As the exhibitions made by this Association are designed for American manufactures only, it is but just for this Committee to state, that the wax preparations among Mr. Hitchcock's articles, are of foreign manufacture.

844. JAS. ALCOCK, New York. A case of Mineral Teeth, containing some hundreds. The Committee mark these No. 1. They look upon them as beautiful specimens of the art, that do great credit to the manufacturer, and they recommend that the second premium be awarded to him. Silver Medal.

J. W. PHELPS, Boston. Various Surgical Instruments. All these articles appear to be neatly and thoroughly made, and finished in a style that is not often exceeded by any artist. These remarks apply even to the largest instruments, the amputating knives, catlins, saws, &c., and to those articles contained in two well finished pocketcases of fifteen instruments each. The case of eye instruments, containing cataract, cornea, and iris-knives, needles, forceps, scissors, &c., is a highly finished sample of this artist's work. The handles of the knives and needles are of fine tortoise-shell, mounted with gold. The instruments are all of fine form and exquisite polish. The artist furnishes, in them, a fair title to the second premium.

Silver Medal. 983. T. M. COFFIN, Boston. A Dentist's Punch, for perforating gold plate. Not a perfect instrument, in its form or finish.

man.

J. AVERY RICHARDS, JR., Boston, an Apprentice to Mr.WightA Stomach-pump, which the Committee have marked No. 1. It is a very good piece of mechanism, even supposing it to have been from the hands of an experienced workman; but more remarkably so, as it was made by a lad of eighteen years old, in his third year of apprenticeship. Diploma.

CHEMICAL PREPARATIONS, PERFUMERY, SOAPS, &c.

SEVERAL of the articles submitted to the examination of the Committee are such as require more time and observation than can be devoted to them, during the few days of their exhibition. Such are the vari

ous Inks and Blacking, each of which should be separately submitted to trial, and the effect of time, exposure, &c. be noticed.

From the testimony, which has been exhibited in regard to some of the Inks, the Committee have reason to believe that they are all deserving of approval.

In regard to the varieties of Blacking, the style in which they are put up, is the only point upon which your Committee can speak approvingly, no opportunity having been afforded for witnessing their application.

32. E. SPEAR, by E. JACKSON & Co., Boston. White and Yellow Soap. A very excellent article, deserving special notice.

Diploma. 70. THOMAS BROWN, Marblehead. Specimens of Glue. A good article.

240. E. HOLDEN, Boston. Specimens of Indelible Ink, to be used without preparation. Cannot be recommended. Of the other exhibited by HOLDEN & SAUNDERS, the Committee can give no opinion, not having had an opportunity to try it.

303. J. SWEETSER, Boston. Five bottles of Cologne Water. Good. 304. HOLDEN & SAUNDERS, Boston. Chloride of Soda. Not remarkable for strength.

317. S. D. JONES, Boston. Blacking. Of this the Committee can give no opinion for reasons already assigned.

409. A. S. & W. G. LEWIS, Boston. Chemicals. These articles, Chloric Ether, Spt. Nit. Eth., Mercurial Ointment, Blue Pill, and Carbonate of Iron, appear to be well prepared, with the exception of the Blue Pill, which contains a fatty substance, and is very objectionable.

425. E. W. UPTON, Danvers. Glue, of different qualities, all good, and some of extra quality. Diploma.

718. E. CLEVELAND, Coventry, Vt. One box of Potato Starch, of excellent quality and superior to the other specimens of common starch.

455. J. L. LEAVIT, Boston. Lemon Flower Water and Rose Water. Appear to be prepared with oils.

503. E. DAVIS, Cambridge. Soap. Maintains the good character it has previously acquired, and deserves a Silver Medal.

518. T. P. MERRIAM, New Bedford. Leather Preservative. From the specimens of old leather rendered flexible by its application, and from the testimony of several persons who have tried it, this appears to be a good and highly useful article.

524. A. HOLDEN, South Boston. Purified Camphor. A very superior article, fully equal, if not superior, to the imported.

Diploma. 1154. L. W. GLENN, Philadelphia. Florida Water. A good article.

536. E. SEAVER, Boston. Tooth Powder. The composition not having been made known, the Committee cannot express an opinion. 548. BAKER, CROCKER, & Co., Boston. Bleached Winter Oil. Three specimens, of different degrees of purity. Apparently well bleached and pure.

Diploma.

743. P. G. DOUGLAS, Boston. Tooth-Ache Drops and Hair-Oil. "Drunkard's Cure." Apparently bad water and worse brandy. The Committee were unable to test the efficacy of this nostrum, the compounder not being present. They would recommend that no secret remedies or quack medicines be hereafter admitted for exhibition.

773. J. LINDMARK, New York. Perfumery, in great variety. The articles are of excellent quality. The Committee having been assured that the specimens presented in 1839, by Mr. Lindmark, which were contained in bottles having a foreign stamp, were placed in them from inability to obtain a sufficient supply of those made here, and with no intention of deception, deem it proper to state the circumstance. The articles appear as deserving of a Diploma as those of 1839.

Diploma.

A. A. HAYES, Roxbury. Superb Crystallizations of Alum and Blue Vitriol. The manufacture of these important salts, as well as of other chemical articles, having been brought to such excellence by Mr. Hayes, too much cannot be said in favor of his manufactory. Silver Medal.

839. J. K. PALMER, Boston. Blue Ink. 903. HENSHAW, WARD & Co., Boston. White Lead, equal to that formerly exhibited. Red Lead, pure and remarkably good, deserving special notice. Litharge in powder, appeared good.
