Excerpt from The Magazine of Science, and School of Arts, 1842, Vol. 1: Intended to Illustrate the Most Useful, Novel, and Interesting Parts of Natural History and Experimental Philosophy, Artistical Processes, Ornamental Manufactures, and the Arts of Life Processes, (some of which were never before made public) - have answered One Hundred and Seventy Queries, and conducted. We trust with courtesy and attention, an extensive Correspondence. If we have delayed for a week or two, at any time. To give the Maturation sought after, it has been only because wewere desirous, in the meantime, to search out the best and fullest information - thus, the request of a single receipt has often produced a full description - a hint has suggested an interesting process. Hence hue arisen the papers on Gilding, Lackering, Bronzing, Meddling, and verymanyothers; which. We flatter ourselves, are useful to all future inquirers. Had this plan not been adapted, ourmagazine would have been a thing of shreds and patches; at present, however individual patience may have been tried, the general value of the volume has been greatlyincreased, fcr allis, as faras possible forus tohavemade infullyperfect.
