Abstract
(1) THIS is a gossipy, pleasantly discursive volume, the style of which will be indicated when we remark that the book is prefaced by an extract from Quintilian, and closes with a poetical quotation. It treats, generally in untechnical and even colloquial language, of varnishes and paints, their history, fabrication, and uses. Principles, not formulæ, are usually given by the author; the book is in no sense a collection of recipes.
