This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1844 edition. Excerpt: ... OF TAKING CASTS OF FIGURES, COINS, &C. 107 half full of clean water, or quite full, if you please. Take half a porringer full of ashes. Throw them into the pipkin, and stir them with the hand. Let the mixture rest a little, and, before the water becomes quite clear, throw it into another pipkin; do this several times, and I recommend you to put in what ashes you want at the first. Then wait until the water be quite clean, and the ashes settled at the bottom. Draw off the water, and dry the ashes in the sun, or as you please. Then add to it salt dissolved in water, and make, as it were, a paste with it (1). Then make impressions of seals, money, small figures, or generally of any thing of which you desire impressions. This done, let the paste dry gradually without fire or sun. You may pour on this paste melted lead, silver, or any metal you please, for the paste is sufficiently tenacious to bear a great weight. CONCLUSION. Praying that the most high God, our Lady, St. John, St. Luke the evangelist and painter, St. Eustachius, St. Francis, and St. Anthony of Padua, may give us grace and strength to sustain and bear in peace the cares and labours of this world; and that to those who study this book, they will give grace to study it well and to retain it, so that by the sweat of their brows they may live peaceably, and maintain their families in this world with grace, and finally, in that which is to come, live with glory, for ever and ever. Amen. NOTES TO THE WOEK. Chap. 1.--P. 1. (1)--Vasari gives to this passage a figurative meaning. I, however, think it literal, Giotto having taken away some of the defects of the modern Greek style, and formed a Latin, --that is to say, an Italian school.--Tambroni. Or rather, as Vasari says (vol. iii. p...
