NOTES BY THE COMPILER.

Repeats are given of more than one recipe, so that the mixer may acquaint himself how to use up his cullet or to vary his mixture to suit his requirements.

The cost given of the cheap metal is based on the cost of materials some year or two ago, but it is approximately correct at th- present time.

The sand used in most of the recipes is French (Fcntenbleu), except in some old forms, when it was Isle of U'ight ; and the s da supplied by a Northwich firm.

Colouring should generally be about half put into the batch and the other half reserved until the long proof has been taken off, when it can be added to or diminished to suit furnace or the weatlur.

The sand in the crystal should be washed and calcined. In the commoner metal it is used as it arrives; still the quality is greatly improved by the first process.

Many of the finest colours containing cryolite should be worked immediately it is plain.

In using brass, it is necessary to insure correctness that it should always be the same. Brass differs in its composition.

The greatest care should be taken in the purity of all material, and the greatest care should be taken that everything is clean and free from dust and dirt.

In all these colourings allowance must be made throughout this book for the state of the furnace, weather, purity of sand and material, etc.

"This mixture turned immediately it was put into the lear. Fill the pot for ruby a little at a time, and watch that it does not ferment. It does not require above twenty hours to fine ; and mind the pot does not get too hot. When it is worked into lumps, put it into the lear with some fine ashes. Keep it turned often, and when a dark ruby get it down the lear ; if it be not all dark, it will right itself in the plating. The metal from the pot should be a light straw colour."
