Zink is a kind of mineral lead, very hard, white and brilliant,
and which, though not ductile enough to denominate it a metal,
yet will ftretch a little under the hammer.
It is found plentifully in the mines of Goffelaer in Saxony ;
that which is commonly fold, is in large thick fquare cakes,
which would make one fufpecl: it were melted, when taken out
of the mine, and call: in moulds of that form.
Zink is ufed in purging and purifying tin, much after the fame
manner as lead is in purifying gold, filver, and copper.
Founders ufe it with turmeric to tinge copper, to which it gives
a fine gold colour.
Mr. Homberg conjectures, with a great deal of probability,
that Zink is no other than a natural mixture of two real metals,
viz. tin and iron.
Francis Van ZOON, was an eminent Dutch painter of fruits,
flowers, and plants; he was bred up at Antwerp under his fa-
ther old Van Zoon, a painter in the fame way. He married a
niece of ferjeant Streater's; fhe brought him into the bufincfs of
feveral perfons of quality, which firft occafioned his being known.
He painted loofe and free, yet kept clofe to nature, and all his
pictures feem drawn by the life. He began fome large pieces,
wherein he propofed to draw all thephyfical plants in the apo-
thecaries garden at Chelfea ; but, that work proving tedious, he
defifted from it, having greater encouragement other ways. He
died here in London about fifty years ago, and lies buried in St.
James's.
ZOUST, or Soejl, was an eminent Dutch face painter, who
came into England about the year 1680, and found here encou-
ragement fuitable to his merit. The portraits he drew after men
are admirable, having in them a juft and bold urauo'nt, and good
colouring ; but he did not always execute with a due regard to
grace, efpecially in women's faces, which is an habit can only be
acquired by drawing after the moft perfect beauties.
