The nature of my business in England, frequently led me into the company of the most celebrated Steel-Manu- facturers in that country, from whose information, and my own experience, I think I have gained a pretty clear and accurate idea of that art; and as it is extremely es- sential to the success of that important manufacture in this new country, that a judicious choice of Iron should be made, I would just give my opinion to the American Steel-Manufacturer in this city, that, after making several practical essays, I am fully convinced that the Iron made at the Oxford furnace in New-Jersey, (about 60 miles

from hence) by far exceeds any other in America for the purpose of making Steel; and that, by a proper conver- sion, it will equal, if not exceed, any ever imported from the famous works of Cawley-at the same time, I must acknowledge, that several other kinds of Iron are ex- tremely good for that use, particularly Mr. Bird's, of Reading, and that of Batstowe furnace, in New-Jersey.
