pentine.
The Turpentine of Bourdeaux is white and thick as honey.
It does not ooze from the tree in the form in which it is brought
to us; but is properly a compofition, wherein, among other in-
gredients, is a white hard fort of refin, called gallipot.
The Turpentine of Strafburg, Dantzic, &c. is what is mod
commonly ufed among us, and preferred to that of Venice ; front
which it is diftinguifhed by its green hue.
Oil c/" Turpentine. There are two forts of this oil drawn
from Turpentine by diftillation ; the firft is white, and the fe-
cond red, both efteemed as balfams; but thefe are both little uf-

What is commonly fold under the name of oil of Turpentine,
is only a diftillation of the refm called gallipot, frefh from the
tree. This is ufed by painters, &c.
To be good, it mould be clear and white as water, of a ftrong
penetrating frnell, and very inflammable.
TUTTlC, is a kind of metallic foot, thrown off from brafs in
the furnace, and formed into concave flakes of different fizes and
thickneffes; very hard, greyifh, and full of little protuberant
grains, about thebignefs of pins heads.
It is found adhering to rolls of earth, hungup for that purpofe
over the furnaces of founders in brafs, to receive the fumes of
the melted metal.
