From January 4th to December 28th, 1851.
It is frequently difficult to make an abstract of the lengthy descriptions given by the patentees of their inventions, sufficiently short for the purpose of this list, and yet sufficiently accurate to indicate exactly the nature of the invention. It is hoped, however, that sufficient is given to afford to an inquirer the means of making
more accurate researches in the official records.

(From Hartley Coleridge's Posthumous Poems.)
LET me not deem that I was made in vain, Or that my Being was an accident, Which Fate, in working its sublime intent, Not wish'd to be, to hinder would not deign. Each drop uncounted in a storm of rain Hath its own mission, and is duly sent To its own leaf or blade, not idly spent 'Mid myriad dimples on the shipless main. The very shadow of an insect's wing, For which the violet cared not while it stay'd, Yet felt the lighter for its vanishing, Proved that the sun was shining by its shade: Then can a drop of the eternal spring, Shadow of living lights, in vain be made?
When I review the course that I have run, And count the loss of all my wasted days, I find no argument for joy or praise In whatsoe'er my soul hath thought or done. I am a desert, and the kindly sun On me hath vainly spent his fertile rays. Then wherefore do I tune my idle lays, Or deem that haply I may be the one Of the vain thousands, that shall win a place Among the Poets,-that a single rhyme Of my poor wit's devising may find grace To breed high memories in the womb of time? But to confound the time the Muse I woo; Then 't is but just that time confound me too.
