ter twenty yards of broad cloth, and handle it, letting it boil
two hours ; then cool it, and put in copperas two ounces, and
then enter the cloth again, and handle it; then let it boil a
quarter of an hour, and cool it. If you would have it fadder,
you mufl put in more copperas.
Note, That handling of it fignifies to roll it on the roller,
as it is boiling, and to let it all in again, to hinder its fpotting,
and to make it take colour equally. Cooling it fignifies to
take it up and air it.
To dye the bejl Ash Colour. Take fair water, a fufficient
quantity; red tartar, four ounces; nut-galls, three ounces;
bruife them fmall, and enter twenty yards of cloth, boil it an
hour an half; then cool and fadden it as you think fit.
Edmund ASHFIELD, a gentleman well defcended, who
drew both in oil and crayons ; he was difciple to Mr. Wright,
and painted fome heads as big as the life ; he firft found out the
way to multiply the number and variety of teints in crayons,
and therewith to draw various complexions, in imitation of oil-
painting ; this he performed on paper, and practifed fevcral
years with deferved applaufe; he fold thofe heads at ten pounds
a-piece.
From him Mr. Luttrell had his infrruclions, who has im-
proved that invention, and multiplied the variety of colours, to
effect any thing ; as alfo found out a method, unknown before,
to draw with thofe chalks or crayons on copper-plates, either
after the life or hiftorically.
ASIA, is reprefented in painting, &c. wearing a garland of
various flowers, and fruits, clad in a rich veftment embroidered;
holding in her right hand branches with roots of caffia, pepper,
and cloves, and in her left hand a cenfer fmoaking ; and by her
a camel on its knees.
The garland imitates, that Afia produces delightful things,
neceffary for human life ; her garment, the great plenty of thofe
rich materials; the bundle of fpices, that {he diftributes them
to other parts of the world. The cenfer fignifies the odorife-
rous gums and fpices it produces; and the camel is a bead
proper to Afia.
