he had given so long notice, we cannot learn; but it seems now he has passed that point, and obtained leave to bring in a bill. The title of this also varies considerably from the words of the notice; it is more comprehensive and general. To this there can be no objection; but past experience, on this very question, induces a fear, that by grasping at too much, little or nothing may be obtained; and that the very desirable reforms of the patent law, specified in the notice may be neglected, or omitted, among the numerous provisions which must necessarily be subjects of discussion in a satisfactory bill for the better encouragement of the arts and manufactures.

Patent Law Grievance. No. IV.

THE penalties inflicted on the inventive genius of Britain during the present year, up to the 25th ult., in the shape of government stamps and fees on patents, amount to more than £21,000!

N.B. This sum has been paid in ready money, on taking the first steps, and as many of the inventors are poor men (operatives), and a great many others of them persons to whom it would be very inconvenient to pay at least £100. down, they have been obliged to go into debt, or mortgage or dispose of their inventions, either wholly or in part, &c.

NEW PATENTS. 1836.

ENGLISH.

N. B. The first Date annexed to each Patent, is that on which it was sealed and granted; the second, that on or before which the Specification must be delivered and enrolled.The abbreviation For. Comm., signifies that the invention, &c., is "a communication from a foreigner residing abroad."
