TO THE PUBLIC.
OBSERVED in the National Intelligencer a caution to the public, inserted by Mr. Crosby's Agent, against purchasing patent privileges of looms or weaving machines, without first examining Mr. Crosby's Specification and model, which he has lodged at the Patent Office Query; would it not have been well for Mr. Crosby to have first examined earlier specifications before he began his? His Agent (Mr. Goldsborough) has in his private conversation with some of the Members of Congress, asserted that the loom which I have in operation in the Patent Office has got some of the principles of Mr. Crosby's, and cautions them against purchasing of me on the same account. I readily agree that loom has some of the principles which are in Mr. Crosby's, and I claim them, and caution patentees against using them without my consent. Any person wishing for more information, will please to call at the Patent Office, or at David Dobbins's tavern, in this city.
