An Invention has recently been discovered, which if ultimately
successful will be without parallel even in the age which
introduced to the world the wonderful effects of gas and of
steam.

The discovery is of that peculiar nature, so simple in principle
yet so perfect in all the ingredients required for complete and
permanent success, that to promulgate it at present would wholly
defeat its development by the immense competition which would
ensue, and the views of the originator be entirely frustrated.

This work, the result of years of labour and study, presents a
wonderful instance of the adaptation of laws long since proved
to the scientific world combined with established principles so
judiciously and carefully arranged, as to produce a discovery
perfect in all its parts and alike in harmony with the laws of
Nature and of science.

The Invention has been subjected to several tests and
examinations and the results are most satisfactory so much so
that nothing but the completion of the undertaking is required
to determine its practical operation, which being once
established its utility is undoubted, as it would be a necessary
possession of every empire, and it were hardly too much to say,
of every individual of competent means in the civilised world.
