THE l¥ORIiD'l$ FAIR PRIZE MEDAL,
AWARDED TO '
Chilson's Patent Air-Warming and Ventilating Furnaces.
The following are among the important improvements attained by these Furnaces :
1st. An abundant supply of fresh, healthful, warm air, free from red r hot iron htat, so injurious to health.
2d. The great power of these Furnaces in Warming Buildings, is a conclusive proof that all the heat from the fuel is used in warming the rooms, which accounts for their economy in fuel.
3d. By these Furnaces and the plan of setting the same, there is not a possibility of setting the buildings on fire in which they are located.
4th. These Furnaces are completely adapted for burning any bind of fuel, — Anthracite or Bituminous Coals, Wood, Sfc.
5th. The substantial material and plan of construction of these Fur- naces, render them durable beyond a doubt for a life time.
6th. The facility and ease of management, and ready access for cleaning out the Furnace, &c., are unsurpassed.
7th. The plan for making the joints of the Furnace proof against the escape of smoke and gas, is in every respect perfect.
8th. Fire may be kept in these Furnaces from Fall until Spring, by replenishing but once a day.
These Furnaces have been thoroughly tested in all parts of the coun- try, and are now declared to be the best in the world. They have been awarded the HIGHEST PREMIUMS, (Gold and Silver Medals.) at the principal FAIRS in this country ; which, with the unanimous reports in their favor, by the different Committees of the State and City Governments, (see their various printed reports,) together with the cer- tificates and recommendations of more than eleven hundred persons who have them in use, (many of whom are professional gentlemen, whose sci- ^MiinriiraiiMMi i iiiiiiiii III !■ entific attainments in such matters are well known,) have combined to
■»anMi—w— — iBMMMIMitnMaa»«m»M render these Furnaces unrivalled in this country. The WORLD'S JURY AT THE LONDON FAIR have also declared them to be the BEST IN THE WORLD. The unparalleled success and favor this Furnace meets with in this country and Europe is very gratifying to the inventor, whose practical experience and personal attention to the subject of WARMING AND "VENTILATING BUILDINGS, is unsurpassed. All persons desirous of having a pure, fresh, healthful, warm atmosphere in their Dwellings, Churches, School-Douses, Court-llouses, Hospitals, Stores, &c., free from the injurious effects of red hot iron heat or coal gas so common to the Iron Heaters, will find an Apparatus at our Store, in every way suited to their wants.
We are now fully prepared to erect in both Public and Private Buildings, every variety of our WARMING AND VENTILA- TING APPARATUS. We give our personal attention, or printed directions, for the erection of the same in any part of the World. Also, a full and extensive assortment of REGISTERS, HOT-AIR GRATES, EMERSON'S VENTILATORS, and every variety of COOKING RANGES, including CHILSON'S PORTABLE RANGE, STOVES, GRATES, &c.
We have a splendid assortment of the various size.s of those beautiful Metallic or Mirror Marble CHIMNEY PIECES. Also, an extensive assortment of the latest styles of European and American Patterns of PARLOR & CHAMBER FRAME GRATES.
THE TRIO V E N T I li A T I N O STOVE,
INVENTED BY
GARDIVER CHILSON,
Patented Sept 16, 1851. The Stove can be used with or with- out the Ventilating Cap.
The Cut of this wonderfully operating Stove, will enable every intelligent mind to comprehend the great results which must be accomplished by this invention.
It secures in the room the en- tire heat from the fuel consumed ; the heated smoke and gases are confined directly over the fire, and compressed into and forced to impinge their heat against the continuous tapering radiating surface ; entirely exhausting ev- ery thing combustible by a very slow process of reducing the coal to ashes. As soon as the fire is kindled, close the damper in the smoke-pipe wholly; the radiator then becomes filled at once with the heated elements, the pressure being such as to cause the heated smoke and gases to settle down upon or in contact with the igni- ted coal, thus entirely consuming the smoke and gases. The floor is warmed some eight or ten feet around the Stove, yet the hand may rest on the smoke-pipe, three feet from the Stove.
No clinkers or cinders can be formed In thin Stove. Fire may be kept from Fall until Spring, by replenishing once in from 2^ to 48 hours, according to usage.
When Ventilation is required, (which should bo in every room,) there is a Ventilating Cap, (see Cut,) and Cold Air Pipe for the introduction of Cold Air from out of doors. From 50 to 75 per cent, of the fuel commonly used is saved by this arrangement.
We have four sizes of PORTABLE FUHNACES just completed (1852) on this principle, which greatly sur- passes all former inventions for Portable Furnaces.

CELEBRATED
PREHIUM HOT.M_ FURNACES.
These celebrated Furnaces, which have stood the test of more than fourteen years, are now offered to the public with very recent improvements, which render them unrivalled in all the qualities which constitute a perfect Furnace. The Fire Pot is cast with elongated cones running into the Air Chamber, which insure its durability and make it vastly superior to other pattern fire pots. A new mode of retaining the heat in the Air Chamber, and securing a larger radiating surface than formerly, has been invented, and an arrangement to remove the ashes from the radiator, without entering the Furnace or disturbing the brick work, has been adopted.
More of these Furnaces than of any other kind, have been put up in this city and vicinity, and are giving unrivaHed satisfaction. ALSO, FOR SALE, an extensive assortment of new and beautiful pattern Liverpool, Ber- lin and other GRATES, together with an extensive variety of COOKING- R ANG-ES, Parlor, Office and Cooking STOVES, VENTILATORS, &c.

MASSACHUSETTS REGISTER AND RECORD.
The many material changes that have been made this year in the Massachusetts Eegister, or Record, render the issue of this year's volume a very fitting occasion for giving a brief historical account of this annual.
It was first issued in 1767 by its publishers, Mein & Fleeming, at the London Book Store, North side of King street, (now State street,) under the name of " Mein and Fleeming's Register for New-England and Nova-Scotia."
In 1769, Edes & GiU, in Queen street, and T. & J. Fleet, at the Heart and Crown, in Corn- hill, published " Edes & Gill's North American Almanack and Massachusetts Register," printed upon paper manufactured in this country.
In 1774, under the name of " Mills & Hicks's British and American Register, with an Almanac, &c." it was published by Mils & Hicks, in School street, next door to Brackett's Tavern, sign of Cromwell's Head.
In 1779, Thomas & John Fleet became the pubhshers, at the sign of the Bible and Heart, at the corner of Cornhill and Water streets, and during the time of their pubheation, it was called " A Pocket Almanack."
In 1801, John West, and Manning and Loring, commenced its pubheation, as " The Massa- chusetts Register and United States Calendar," which they continued until 1813, when it passed into the hands of West, Richardson & Lord, and James Loring. Mi\ Loring continued its publication for forty-seven years, in small duodecimo volumes, the last issue under his care being the volume for the year 1847.
In 1847, the Massachusetts State Record, in duodecimo form, was published by James French, under the editorial management of Nahum Capen. The old Massachusetts _ Register was merged into the State Record in 1848, and has been continued annually to this time by the sama editor and publisher, — having been issued five years.
This year, 1852, the interest and good will of the Massachusetts State Record being pur- chased by the present publisher, it appears in an enlarged form ; and it being the eighty-sixth year of the annual pubheation of this work, although in different forms, it has been deemed proper to give this volume its true serial number, 86.
The Record of this year, in much enlarged form, (octavo,) contains, besides its usual inter- esting matter, a Business Directory of the entire State, thereby rendering it more valuable to the business community.
It will be the ami of the publisher to make various improvements in the future numbers, in order to make the work a fair exposition of the unequalled institutions which Massachusetts so nobly sustains, and the important business enterprises which tend so essentially to the pros- perity of the Commonwealth.
Our grateful acknowledgments are due to numerous friends who have very kindly furnished valuable information. The interest evinced in the work by the pubUc, will serve as a power- ful incentive to make it worthy of continued favor. Special acknowledgments are due to Nathaniel B. Shurtleff, M. D., Hon. Philo Leach, Hon. John P. Bigelow, Nahum Capen, Esq., Charles Hale, Esq., Charles Mayo, Esq., B. H. Currier, Esq., Chauncy Smith, Esq., of the P. O. Department, Washington, D. C. ; Timothy Reed, Esq., Rev. Luther Bailey, J. H. Buck- ingham, Esq., Ferrand F. Merrill, MontpcUer, Secretary of State, Vt. ; John G. Sawyer, Au- gusta, Secretary of State, Me. ; Hon. Asa Potter, Providence, Secretary of State, R. I. ; John P. C. Mather, New London, Secretary of State, Connecticut.
That errors have occurred in this volume, must be expected, when the great amount of labor necessary to the remodelhng of the work is taken into consideration. For these unavoid- able faults the indulgence of the public is asked, with the assurance, on our part, that future numbers shall be as accurate as such works can be made with industry and zeal.
Having sold the copy-right of the " Massachusetts State Record and New England Register " to Mr. Qeorge Adams, publisher of the " Boston Directory," I cheerfully recommend liim as my successor. His long experience and thorough acquaintance with business of this kind, amply qualify him to produce a work that will unquestionably give entire satisfaction to the public. NAUUM CAPEN.
Having sold Mr. Oeoroe Abamb the right to publish the " RIassachusetts State Record," 1 most cheerfully recommend the work as containing a largo amount of valuable information, and its publisher as worthy of a liberal patronage. JAMES EUENOII.
Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1852, by George Adams, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the District of Massachusetts.

TO BUSINESS MEN.
The character of the Mass.\CIIUSEtts Register commends itself to merchants, manufacturers, and others, as a means of communication with the public. To those who would introduce their business to every portion of the Commonwealth, it is offered as a desirable medium for that purpose. It is our design to make the work a register of the business, as well as a record of the political and social character of the State.
Communications upon business operations, addressed to the publisher, will receive immediate attention.
BOSTON DIRECTORY, 1852-3,
Will be published July 1, 1852. To the usual variety of valuable business and miscellaneous information, will be added some new features of interest. The work will continue to represent, as fully as possible, the Institutions and Business of the growing metropolis of New England. Statistical information and notices, from parties in the city or country, sent in during its pubUcation in May, 1852, will be in season for the work. (400 pages, octavo, $1.25.)
GEORGE ADAMS, Publisher, Opficb 91 Washington Street, Boston.
