TRANSCRIBER’s NOTE:
The original uses some characters for contridiction and truncation that can not be represented in this document.
For example the word presents showing symbols used for contridiction abbreviates the word presents which is rendered as p
resent
s. The final symbol also occurs in the words word products showing symbol used for contridiction product
s and the word thoughts with the final s being replaced by a symbol like a large italic letter e thought
s.
There are also some letters with tilde and macrons, which may or may not display correctly depending on the viewing device and/or font chosen, examples follow
tilde above letter cInvenc~ons, tilde above letter c,
macron above letter iMia, macron above letter i,
macron above first letter n(runing away) macron above first letter n.

A
CENTURY
OF THE
Names and Scantlings
OF SUCH
INVENTIONS,
As at present I can call to mind to have tried and perfected, which (my former Notes being lost) I have, at the instance of a powerful Friend, endeavoured now in the Year 1655, to set these down in such a way as may sufficiently instruct me to put any of them in practice.
