" Rev. J. William Jones, D. D. , Secretary of the Southern HistoricalSociety, has written me to the same effect as to the archives in thepossession of the Society.
In the _third_ place, a brief examination of the United States PatentOffice Reports for 1862-3, and the Ordnance Reports for 1863-4, willshow that the "_explosive and the poisoned balls_" which the author ofthe "Pictorial History of the Civil War" so gratuitously charges uponthe Confederates, were patented by the United States Patent
... Office atWashington, and were purchased, issued and used by the United StatesGovernment, and, what is still more remarkable, that _neither of theaforesaid projectiles were in any sense explosive or poisoned_.
In the Patent Office Report for 1862-3 will be found the following, withthe corresponding illustration in the second volume: No. 37, 145--Elijah D. Williams, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania--_Improvement in Elongated Bullets_--Patent dated December 9, 1862.
    This invention consists in the combination with an elongated expanding bullet of a leaded pin and a concave expanding disc, the disc having its concave side against the base of the bullet, and the pin entering the cavity thereof and operating to produce the flattening of the disc, by which it is caused _to expand against the walls of and enter the groves of the gun_.
