This valuable and interesting work is, in fact, an extended edition of the author's catalogue of the Duke of Bridgewater's library. It describes books which, for the most part, are so scarce, that but few American libraries possess them i and Mr. Collier has performed an acceptable office in quoting largely from the works he has described.

Bibliomania; or Book-Madness; A Bibliographical Romance. Illustrated with Cuts. By Thomas Frognall Dibdin, DD. New and Improved Edition... including a Key to the assumed characters in the Drama. Medium 8vo. London.: H. G. Bohn. MDCCCXLII. This edition was undertaken by Mr. Walmsly. It contains a key to the characters, etc., and a supplement, edited by Dr. Dibdin himself. The copies on large paper, imp. 8vo, have titles-pages for two volumes. "The Bibliomania is written in dialogues or conversations, the characters introduced are well-known book collectors of the author's acquaintance. The great value of the work is in the notes, which abound with anecdotes of books and book collectors, and an account of the rarer articles in their collections, and the prices at which they were sold, extracted from the sale catalogues. It will be always consulted as an authority." —LOWNDES. "The Bibliomania is evidently formed in the first instance on the plan of honest Isaac Walton's Complete Angler; with conspicuous marks of the author's being deeply versed in the Battle of the Books, and a familiar acquaintance with old English literature, and occasionally with the discussions of Yorick. Under the shape of dramatic dialogue, the reader is equally entertained and instructed; the abstruser parts, with the historic details, being thrown into the form of notes. It would now be useless to pass an encomium on this work, as its merits are so fully established as to have more than doubled the original price of a volume now with difficulty to be obtained." -Gent's. Magazine.

This extraordinary collection of old English poetry formed part of the extensive library of Thomas Hill (the "Hull" of Theodore Hook in his Gilbert Gurney), when he failed in business as a sugar baker. This portion of the library, its great value not being known to the creditors, was presented to him. He afterwards sold it to Messrs. Longman & Co., who employed Griffiths to make out this catalogue raisonni. The initials at the beginning of each letter have very neat woodcuts of the poets from rare prints. It is now very scarce. Thirty copies, with a colored frontispiece, were printed on large paper. GR6NING.

New-York Geo. P. Philes, MDCCCLXVI Four hundred copies printed in imperial 8vo, one hundred and nine in 4to, ten of which are on Holland paper. It was undertaken at the suggestion of Mr. S. L. M. Barlow, of New York, and contains the titles of over three hundred.books. As a specimen of American typography, it has probably never been surpassed. In regard to its merits it has received at the hands of some members of the Geographical Society of Paris very high praise, of which an English version (in part) will be found in Stevens' Bibliotheca Historica, followed by some rather severe criticism on the work by Mr. Stevens, who, writing in the third person, quotes largely from an article in the Athensesum of the 6th of October, I866, of which Mr. Stevens is the author. The writer of this notice does not presume to enter into a controversy with, or a criticism upon, the works of either of these bibliographers, but he cannot help regretting that a work so elaborate, learned, and useful to the American bibliographer, as this Bibliotheca Asmericasna is, should have been the vehicle of any exhibition of personal pique. We have been assured on very good authority that the blunder of "Ander Schiffahrt's" was really due to the proof-reader, and that the Index, in which Schiffahrt (Ander) is made to appear once more in propria persona, B IBL I G R P Hr. lxxv was not the work of Mr. Harrisse at all. Let it suffice for us to remark that for the student of the earliest of books relating to America, this book is indispensably necessary. We may add that Mr. Harrisse has, in some instances, quoted works from White Kennett's Bibliothece, Asnericanae Primosrdia, and made the remark that he has found nothing in the works so quoted relating to America. This has arisen from the fact that he has misapprehended the nature of that work, which purposely introduces many books which had no relation to America. The following is a continuation: [HARRISSE.] Bibliotheca Americana Vetustissima A Description of Works relating to America published between the Years 1492 and I55I Additions Imp. 8vo, pp. (iv), 40, 199, (I). Paris Librairie iross M.DCCC.LXXII Two hundred copies printed in 8vo, and fifty copies in 4to. In the matter of printing and paper this volume exceeds in beauty that of its predecessor. Its contents cover the same ground; some titles contained in the former work are further elaborated, and many are entirely new. It will, perhaps, not be saying too much that many of them are only remotely related to America, but the author's careful researches and elaborate dissertations have combined to render the volume a very desirable addition to an American bibliographical collection.

Twenty-five copies printed in imperial 8vo on large vellum paper. The original letters in this volume form a very interesting portion of its contents. Those of Ciofanus are filled with abuse of Aldus Junior, whom he terms la Cornacchia Esopca, and of whose literary'ability he speaks very slightingly. It also includes a reprint of Capell's Shakesperiana. [HARTSHORNE.] A Geyfte ffor the Neue Yere: or, a playne, plesaunte, and profytable Pathewaie to the Black Lettre Paradyse. Sq. I8mo. Cambridge.

It appears from this that only twenty were printed, and probably in a private manner for presentation. The spelling and printing are equally ancient in style, and the whole discourse, ending with the poem, runs upon black letter and other antique lore. HARTZHEIM.

The publsher's certificate to that effect is usually inserted in the work. " The illustrations of this work, which, unlike facsimiles produced by hand, must necessarily be absolute reproductions of their originals, exceed one hundred in number, and frequently consist of representations of entire pages from many of the most interesting books produced by the early printers. Among them may be mentioned an entire folio page from the first printed Bible, the magnificent work of Gutenberg, richly adorned with ornamental borderings by a contemporary German illuminator. An entire page from the celebrated Psalter of Schceffer, in which the large capitals are printed in colours, in rivalry with the illuminators of the time. Pages from the first books printed in Italy, France, Spain, Flanders, and Holland, accompany the accounts of the introduction of the printing press to those countries; and several such entire pages in facsimile illustrate the description of the works of William Caxton, the founder of the printing pi ss in England. In addition to these and many illustrations of other kinds, will be found a very interesting and an abundant series of examples from the most richly decorated of the French' Horae,' and from the profusely illustrated German books produced in the first half of the sixteenth century." The copies dated I868 are somewhat inferior as regards the plates. HUMPHREYS. Master Pieces of the Early Printers & Engrav ers.

The greater part of the examples are now published for the first time, and have never appeared in any other bibliographical work.

By William Thomas Lowndes. 4 vols., 8vo, pp. xii, 2002. London: William Pickering. MDCCCXXXIV. First published as a serial; Part I. is dated I828. Invaluable to the collector or librarian. The type of this is larger than that of the following edition: xcvi BIB L IO G RAPH r. LOWNDES. [Same Title.] New Edition, Revised, Corrected and Enlarged, By Henry G. Bohn. 6 vols., 8vo, pp. 2746. London: Henry G. Bohn. 1857-69. Issued in eleven parts, each of which contains some preliminary, explanatory, or exculpatory notice by Mr. Bohn. It is much to be regretted that the earlier part of the work does not include the same ratio of additions as the later, and bookcollectors, in general, would have been pleased to pay a higher price for a handsomer book. Mr. Bohn's name as editor did not appear on the first title to Vol. I. Power remarks " A good guide to Mr. Bohn's various reprints and' Libraries,' and the appendix is a carefully-compiled list of the publications of the Book-printing Clubs, the private presses, such as Strawberry Hill, Lee Priory, &c., and the rare reprints of Collier, Halliwell, Maidment, Turnbull, and others. The Bibliographer's Manual is a work which, for want of a better, no English book-lover can do without. The first edition has the advantage of Mr. Bohn's, being printed in more legible type." Later issues bear the name of Bell & Daldy as publishers. In I869, two hundred and fifty copies were printed on large paper, in 6 vols., cr. 8vo. The statement that one hundred copies were printed on large paper, which appears on that number of copies which were sent to America, is, to say the least, an abbreviation of the truth. Mr. Bohn's eleven prefatory notices, which to some extent explain the nature and extent of his labors, have been omitted in the large paper copies, both editions being in other respects exactly the same. There is no substitute for The Bibliographer's IMIanual; undertaken originally to supply an obvious desideratum felt by all readers and book-buyers, it forms at once a key to the riches of English literature for the student, and a guide in the formation of a library for the collector. In its present enlarged form it comprises notices of upwards of one hundred thousand distinct books published in Great Britain and Ireland, but it is susceptible of much improvement. LOWNDES.

A work contemplated by the late Samuel Sotheby, and carried out by his Son Samuel Leigh Sotheby. 3 vols., 8vo, pp. (4), xvi, 200oo; (2), 2I6; (2), 190, (27). 121 Plates. London: Printedfor the Author. M,DCCC,LVIII. Two hundred and fifty copies printed. The two leaves, subsequently printed, giving an account of the sale of the edition at auction, at the upset price of ~9 per set, should be added, "a result," says Mr. Sotheby " unparalleled in the annals of literature." One of the most important works ever produced upon the history of early printing, on which it throws great additional light. It contains an extended examination of the various editions of the block books (or books printed from wooden blocks), the earliest productions of the art, issued in Holland, Flanders, and Germany, such as the Apocalypsis S. Johannis, Biblia Pauperum, Ars Moriendi, Cantica Canticorurm, Liber Regum, Temptationes Daemonurn, Ars Memorandi, Endkrist, Quindecim Signa, De Generatione Christi, Miribilia Roma, etc. It is not, however, confined to a history of block books, for it gives minute accounts, accompanied by exact facsimiles, of some of the most interesting and rare works printed with movable type in the infancy of the art, such as the Donatuses, Doctrinale, Catonis Disticha, B I B L I O GRR P H r. cxxxiii Horarium, Facetim, Morales, Speculum Humana Salvationis, Bartolomaeus van de Proprietaten der Dinghen, Exhortatio contra Turcos, Litera Indulgentiarum, etc. SOTHEBY.

MDCCCLXII " Printed in the best style of the Chiswick Press, regardless of time, it comprises 2934 titles given in full, with the collation and price of each work. It was intended as far as it went to be a manual for collectors of this expensive class of books. But it did not go very far, containing as it does, not a selection, but only such books as the author happened to possess at that time. It was intended to supply the deficiencies by additional volumes, but these have never appeared, and probably never will in this form."-Author.

" The pleasure we have experienced in perusing these sheets, has been considerably heightened by our confidence in the accuracy of the contents (Major Stewart giving notes and references from the most authentic materials), and from the modest, unassuming manner in which the whole is written.

The list of anterevolutionary publications is far from being complete, and it is much to be regretted that many of the titles are not given correctly; one specimen is conspicuous: on page 405, article Bass, an error in the Massachusetts Catalogue is pointed out, but the title is turned round. There is nothing in the title about Benjamin Colman, and the collation is pp. (2), iii, 40; the printer's name is not given. Errors like these swarm in the list, a circumstance to be regretted, as a little additional labor would have made that right which is now wrong. It is the more inexcusable, as a reference to Sabin's Dictionary would have furnished many titles entirely omitted or incorrectly described.

To REMOVE STAINS OF OIL, GREASE, INK, &c.-Chlorine water, or a weak solution of chloride of lime, removes stains, and bleaches the paper at the same time, but this involves pulling the book to pieces. If the stains are small, they may be removed with a weak solution of chloride of lime-a piece, the size of a nut, to a pint of water, a camel's hair pencil, and plenty of patience.-HANNETT'S Bibliopegia, p. 390. ANOTHER.-Spirits of salts, diluted with five or six times its bulk of water, applied to the spot, and after a minute or two washed off with clear water, removes stains of writing ink. Chlorine water, or solution of chloride of lime, is better and easier to manage.-Ib., p. 390. ANOTHER.-Oxalic, citric, or tartaric acid may be applied upon paper or plates, without fear of damage. These acids do -not affect printing ink.-Ib., p. 39. To REMOVE IRON STAINS.-Apply, first, a solution of sulphuret of potash (liver of sulpher), and afterwards one of oxalic acid. The sulphuret acts upon the iron, and renders it soluble in diluted acids. All solutions for taking out stains must be well washed out of the paper, or they will rot it.-Ib., p. 39 1. GREASE OR WAX SPoTs.-May be removed by washing the part with ether, chloroform, or benzine, and placing it between white blotting-paper; then pass a hot iron over it.-Ib., ib. ANOTHER. —A more expeditious, and by some thought the best way, is to scrape fine pipe-clay, magnesia, or French chalk, on both sides of the stain, and apply a hot iron above, taking great care that it be not too hot. The same process will remove grease from colored calf; even if the spot be on the under side of the leather it may thus be clearly drawn right through.-Ib., ib. ANOTHER.-After gently warming the paper, take out all the grease you can with blotting-paper and a hot iron, then 22 USE F UL R ECE IP TS. dip a brush into essential oil qf turpentine, heated almost to ebullition, and draw it gently over both sides of the paper, which must be kept warm. Repeat the operation until all is removed, or the thickness of the paper may render necessary. When alli the grease is removed, to restore the paper to its former whiteness, dip another brush in ether, chloroform, or benzine, and apply it over the stain, especially the edges of it; this will not affect printers' or common writing ink.-Ib., p. 392. REMOVING OIL STAINS FROM BooKs.-In Notes and Queries, for December Io, I863 (p. 495), a correspondent, J. C. Lindsay, writing from St. Paul, Minnesota, says,'t The remedy is sulphuric ether. If the stains are extensive, I am in the habit of rolling up each leaf, and inserting it in a wide-mouthed bottle, half full of sulphuric ether, and shaking it gently up and down for a minute. On removal, the stains will be found to have disappeared; the ether rapidly evaporates from the paper, and a single washing in cold water is all that is required afterwards. Mineral naphtha oil and benzine possesses the same qualities of dissolving tallow, lard, wax, or similar substances of this class. Naphtha is an excellent solvent, but unless exceedingly pure is apt to tint the paper. Ether and chloroform, although more expensive, are much more pleasant, efficient, and safe to use. Any operations with ether, chloroform, or benzine; should never be conducted: by candlelight, as their vapor is apt to kindle even at several feet from the liquid." To KILL AND PREVENT BOOKWORMs.-Take one ounce of camphor, powdered like salt, one ounce of bitter apple, cut in halves, mix, and spread on the bookshelves, and renew every eight or ten months. (N. B.) If bitter apple (Colocynth) cannot be procured, use tobacco.-WILLIAM BATES, in Notes and.ueries, Jan. I8, i868. SCENT OF RUSSIA LEATHER.-This peculiar odor, which some persons like, but to many is very disagreeable, is given with Empyreumatic oil of the birch.-HANNETT's Bibliopegia, p. 394. PERFUME OF BOOKS.-Musk, with one or two drops of oil of Neroli, sponged on each side of the leaves and hung up to dry, will give a powerful odor. A more simple plan is, to place a vial of the mixture on the bookcase, or place there pieces of cottonr impregnated with oil of cedar or of birch. OF GIVING CONSISTENCY TO BAD PAPER.-Make a strong size, in proportion of one ounce of isinglass or gelatine to a quart of water, and boiled over the water; afterwards add a quarter of USEFUL RECEIPTS. 23 a pound of Alum: when dissolved, filter through a sieve. The paper must be passed through the size at a heat wherein the hand may be held; then hung on lines to dry gradually; not exposed to the sun in summer, or a room too warm in winter: afterwards press.-Ib., ib., p. 393. POLISHING OLD BINDINGS.-Take the yelk of an egg, beat it up with a fork, apply it with a sponge, having first cleansed the leather with a dry flannel. When the leather is broken, rubbed, or decayed, rub a little paste into the parts to fill up the holes, otherwise the glair would sink into them and turn them.black. To produce a polished surface a hot iron must be passed over the leather. ANOTHER.-The following is, perhaps, an easier, if not a better, method: Purchase some " Bookbinders' Varnish," which may be had at any color shop, clean the leather well, as before, if necessary, using a little water to do so, but be sure to rub. dry before applying the varnish, which may be done with wool, lint, or a very soft sponge. Be sure to rub dry before varnishing.Notes and Queries, 2d Series, Vol. x, p. 40I. ANOTHER.-A little glue size, used very thin, is better than beeswax and turpentine. The very best is a varnish made in France, called " French Varnish for Leather," and is sold at fourteen shillings a pound. It may be had at Manders', in Oxford Street, or any good varnish maker. There is a common sort, to be had at Reilly's varnish factory, 19 Old Street, Saint Luke's, at three and sixpence a pound.-Notes and Queries, 2d Series, Vol. Ix, p. 423. VARNISHING OLD BOOKS.-A writer in Notes and Queries, 2d Series, Vol. II, p. I55, says: " Little can be done by compositions to preserve leathers; but, in some cases, varnish may tend somewhat to repel the action of the atmosphere and deleterious gases, but it is apt to harden the leather at the joints where the greater action takes place in opening a book. No doubt old bindings may be furbished up, but some composition to replace the unction dried out of the leather, without staining or injury, so as to render it pliable and soft, is still a desideratum. Want of ventilation does much harm. Books want air. The library of the Athenaum suffered so much some time ago from gas and heat, that the backs of calf bindings crumbled upon touching. Light, without injury to color-moisture, without mildew, and air without soot-are as necessary to a library as to a greenhouse."-LEsLIE SEMMES, F.S.A. 24 USEFUL RECEIP TS. London gas, which produces sulphurous and sulphuric acids in burning, is a great enemy to bookbinding. Libraries containing choice bindings should never be lighted with gas. To CLEANSE WOOD BLOCKS.-M. Leblanc Hardel, printer, at Caen, by the advice of a chemist of that town, uses benzine instead of turpentine, and reports that it volatises more rapidly, does not gum up the type or injure the block; renders the face of the wood smooth, and, consequently, increases the fineness of the work produced. From the rapidity with which it dries, it allows the forms to be washed without removing them from the press or machine.-CRIsP's Printers' Business Guide. COPYING INK.-White purified honey, three parts; white glycerine, three parts; black or colored ink, eleven parts: mix well, and let stand for a week. For very fine character, two parts of glycerine and honey is sufficient.-CRISP's Printers' Business Guide. To REMOVE INK STAINS.-Muriate of tin, two parts, with double its quantity of water, applied with a soft brush, will remove stains. The paper, then, must be passed through cold water.-CRISP's Printers' Business Guide. To KEEP INK FROM FREEZING.-Add a few drops of brandy or other spirit. A little salt will prevent it from mouldering. When ink is allowed to freeze or mould, it loses its blackness or beauty.-CRIsP's Printers' Business Guide. To MAKE OLD WRITING LEGIBLE.-In a pint of boiling water put six bruised gall-nuts, and let it stand for three days. Wash the writing with the mixture to restore the color, and, if not strong enough, add more galls. STRONG PASTE.-.Add to two large tablespoonfuls of flour as much powdered rosin as will cover a farthing. Mix with strong beer, and boil for twenty minutes. To keep paste from moulding, add 15 grains of corrosive sublimate to every half-pint of paste made. This is poison.-CRISP'S Printers' Business Guide. To RENDER PAPER FIREPROOF.-A strong solution of alum will render it fireproof. Brown wrapping paper, saturated with a solution of half a pound of tungstate of soda, in a gallon of water, is rendered uninflammable. PAPER THAT RESISTS WATER.-By plunging unsized paper once or twice into a clear solution of mastic in oil of turpentine, and drying it afterwards by a gentle heat can be made to resist USE FUL RECEIPTS. 25 moisture, and, without being transparent, has all the properties of writing paper, and may be used for that purpose. When warehoused, it is secure from mould, mildew, mice, or insects.CRISP'S Printers' Business Guide. VARNISH FOR MAPS AND DRAWINGS: I. After being washed over with a solution of isinglass, or gelatine, dissolve 2 ounces of oil of turpentine with I ounce of Canada balsam, and apply with a soft brush. 2. Two coats of isinglass, or gelatine alone, laid on with a camel's hair brush, will much improve a map or print. 3. A thin solution of gutta percha, run over maps, improves them. 4. Parchment size, brushed over pencil-drawings, keeps them from rubbing.-CRISP's Printers' Business Guide. 5. Common porter makes a capital fixer for pencil or chalk drawings, and gives them a pleasant tint as well. SOILED BooKs.-In reply to a query, in Notes and Queries, relative to taking stains out of old books, the following advice is given by Shirley Hibberd: "Take the book to pieces, if much stained; if not, only take out the leaves that require cleaning. Lay a sheet or a few pages in a large earthenware dish, and press on them some boiling water. Let them lie for six or eight hours; then take them out and lay them between clean blotting paper till dry. A drop, or less, of muriatic acid may be added; but there is a risk in using it when the fabric is aged." Practice first with old fly-leaves, to acquire experience in handling the wet paper. -Notes and Queries, March Io, I860, 2d Series, Vol. x, p. I86. To PREVENT COLORS FROM SINKING OR SPREADING ON MAPS OR COMMON PAPER.-Wet the paper two or three times with a sponge dipped in alum water (3 or 4 ounces to a pint), or with a solution of white size, observing to dry it carefully after each coat. This tends to give lustre and beauty to the colors. The colors should also be thickened with a little gum water. Before varnishing maps after coloring them, two or three coats of clear size should be applied with a soft brush-the first one on the back.-CooLEY'S Cyclopadia of Practical Receipts, p. 722. ACKERMAN'S LIQUOR FOR PRINTs. — Take of the finest pale glue and white curd soap, 4 ounces; boiling water, 3 pints; dissolve, then add of powdered alum, 2 ounces. Used to size prints and pictures before coloring them.-(Cool EY'S Cyclopaedia of Practical Receipts, p. 1072. 26 USEFUL RECEIPTS. ABSORBENT PAPER.-Notes and Queries, I st Series, Vol. xII, p. 133. Dissolve a drachm of alum in three ounces of spring water, and sponge the paper with it; when dry, it will bear writing upon without blotting. You may also write on absorbent paper with common ink by mixing gum water with it.-F. C. H. ANOTHER.-Having had much experience in foreign books, and the papers on which they are printed-more particularly noticing the absorbent nature of modern German works-I would advise "' C." to make his notes upon their margins in pencil, a card being introduced under the leaf to make the line clear and sharp, as I do not think anything could be done to impart size to the paper of a bound book without injury to its appearance. Books may be with ease sized prior to binding, and the paper materially strengthened.-LUKE LIMNER., ANOTHER.-Finely powdered pounce, rubbed in lightly with the finger, and then burnished with an ivory folder, will cure the most absorbent paper. But if, as is generally the case with German manufacture, the paper has a tinge, the burnishing whitens it. For such paper (as for all, except that the resort requires a poultry yard) the white of a fresh egg applied lightly with a flat camel's hair pencil, produces a sizing like foolscap. It takes but a few minutes to dry, and is perfectly transparent.-S. H. A., in Notes and Queries, 2d Series, Vol. I, p. 243. To MAKE COPYING INK: i.

Obs.-After making the above mixture, they must be tried with a common steel pen; and if they do notflowfeeely, some more unprepared ink should be added until they are found to do so. USEFUL RECEIPTS. 27 To REMOVE GREASE STAINS.-Mr. Bone, in a discussion on Mr. John Leighton's paper on Library Books and Bindings, read at the meeting of the Society of Arts, Feb. 23, i853, stated that he had found "the india rubber solution" to be a very excellent thing to extract oil or grease spots from books, whether bound in leather, silk, or cloth. It might also be used for removing similar stains from the insides of books, as well as from furniture, covers, carpets, rugs, &c. The process was very simple, and consisted in laying on a coat of the solution and leaving it to dry; it should then be removed with a piece of ordinary india rubber. It is also very convenient for fixing prints in a scrap-book, being superior to paste or gum, as it is sufficiently adhesive to firmly hold them, while they might easily be detached at any time without damage either to scrap-book or engraving, as the india rubber could be removed in the manner he has described. METHOD OF TAKING OUT INK.-Notes and Queries, 2d Series, Vol. xiI, p. i 14: I. Take equal quantities of lapis calaminaris, common salt, and rock alum, boil them in white wine for half an hour in a new pipkin. This will at once remove stains of ink from paper or parchment. 2. Distil equal quantities of nitre and vitriol; dip a sponge in the liquid and pass it over the ink, which will be at once removed. 3. Distil equal quantities of sulphur and powdered saltpetre for the same purpose. 4. Rub the stain of ink with a little ball made of alkali and sulphur.-F. C. H. ANOTHER.-Notes and Queries, Ist Series, Vol. xII, p. 133. A small quantity of oxalic acid, or muriatic acid, somewhat diluted, applied with a camel's hair pencil, and blotted off with blotting paper, will, in two applications, quite obliterate any traces of modern ink. By the aid of oxalic acid, I have restored a page, on which an inkstand had been upset, to almost primitive purity.-WILLIAM FRASER, B.C.L. ANOTHER.-" M. Chaptal remarks that, since the oxygenated muriatic acid had been found capable of discharging the color of common writing ink, both from parchment and paper, without injuring their texture, it had been fraudulently employed," &c., &c.-J. EASTWOOD. 28 USEFUL RECEIPTS. RESTORING WRITING ON, AND PRESERVING OLD PARCHMENT.-A correspondent in Notes and Q6ueries, 2d Series, Vol. v, p. 90, signing " H. M. R.," enquires how he should treat an.old parchment document to restore the writing on the parts rendered quite illegible by damp. An editorial note gives the fol-'lowing information: [" Manuscripts affected by damp may be strengthened by the use of size; but writing effaced by damp is beyond revival. Where any trace of writing remains, it may be,rendered legible by a judicious use of hydrosulphate of ammonia, laid upon the spot with a soft brush. The operation should be performed in some spot where the effluvium arising from this liquid would be confined to the operator alone, as it is far from being agreeable. An infusion of galls has been used by some for this purpose, but the Cottonian charters in the Museum afford unhappy proof that such a remedy is worse than the disease, the writing being entirely obliterated, and the appearance of the ~document spoiled, by the too liberal application of the infusion. The hydrosulphate evaporates speedily, and leaves not a trace behind. The parchment spoken of by " H. M. R." should be allowed to soak in clear spring water, into which a small quantity of spirits of wine has been previously infused, until it is rendered soft and pliable; then let it be carefully removed, laid upon a clean napkin, and.the superficial damp removed with a sponge, -taking care that no friction is allowed; then: take some strips of cardboard or thick paper, lay the parchment upon a board, and, placing the strips along the margins, nail it securely, stretching it smooth, with care, at the same time; allow it to dry gradually, -and it may be then removed and inlaid or framed as the operator desires."] To MAKE FIREPROOF PAPER.-This can be done either by solutions of chloride of zinc, or the liquid sulphuret of calcium or of barium, the same being afterwards steeped in a solution of sulphate of iron. The cost is very little, and paper for drawing up wills, legal documents, bank-notes, &c., should be so treated. -Notes and Queries, 2d Series, Vol. v, p. 129. IMPRESSIONS OF WAX SEALs.-Dr. Bachhoffnier, in a lecture on, " Nature Painting," delivered some years ago at the Polytechnic Institution, proved by illustration that impressions could be taken from wax seals on lead or iron without injury to the seal. He placed a sealed envelope on a piece of lead, which was,on an anvil; his assistant struck the envelope directly over the seal a sharp blow with a heavy hammer; the impression was USEFUL RECEIP TS. 29, taken in the lead, the seal remained uninjured. The lead would give any number of impressions. The olow must be quick andviolent, else the wax will be broken.-S. ANOTHER.-I find that the best way of copying small seals is. by taking an impression in lead. This is done in the following. manner: Take a piece of lead, as soft as possible, the size of the seal, and about half an inch thick (I use flattened bullets);. smooth and polish one side, and place it on the seal, which must rest on something solid, as a flagstone. Strike the lead a sharp blow, well directed, and the result will be a beautiful impression. If the blow is struck evenly, not the slightest injury will accrue to the seal.-J. ASHTON, in Notes and Queries, Ist Series, Vol. XI, p. I 13 - Though the authority from which the receipts given is always stated, they have all been examined, and, in many cases, revised by a practical chemist of great experience, who selected them from a very large number submitted to him as the cheapest, most easily applied, and effectual of the kind. Many other useful receipts, on subjects similar to the preceding, will be found in Bonnardot's Essai, noticed in the Bibliographical list. PART VI. DICTIONARY OF TERMS.
