A drawing in water colours may be calqued by paffing
over the outlines with a good black-lead pencil, then

bordering fomewhat on purple, ufed conftantly in water-
colours, but very rarely in oil; becaufe it will not mix
kindly in oil, as well as becaufe of its high price. It is
a colour which fpends well. Carmine is the moft va-
luable product of the cochineal mejlique, it is a fecula, or
fcdiment of water wherein is fteeped cochineal, &c.

To rain water wherein thirty-fix grains of chouan
have been boiled three times, and {trained, are added five
drams of cochineal, and this likewife is boiled three times;

thought proper) and the fame quantity of rock alum, this
liquor is boiled once, then filtered through a linen
cloth, and fuffered to ftand till it has depofited its fedi-
ment; which when dried, is the carmine.

The additional ingredients are perhaps better omitted

carmine is nothing more than the colouring particles of
cochineal diffolved in an alkaline lixivium, and preci-
pitated by allum.

Some give the following procefs to obtain carmine
