From this calculation, we find only a very trifling difference of expence between the fife 

 foap, and common foft foap : and experience has fhewn me, that icivt. of common foft (bap 

 is equally valuable with icwt. 2qrs, of fifli foap. This article, therefore, can never be brought 

 into the market. 



Sir John Dalrymple having found that the methods propofed in the patent were not likely 

 to be attended with fuccefs, has adopted an old practice of the Swedifh peafantry, in forming 

 a foft foap, without oil or tallow, by diflblving fifli in cauftic potafh. In the report, we have 

 a number of trials upon this combination, with a view to afcertain the expence of manufadlur- 

 ing, and the following lift of expences is drawn up from thefe trials.

From the above ftatement it would appear that the fifli (bap would fuperfede the ufe of com- 

 mon foft foap. Experience however has (hewn me that icwt. of common foft foap will clean 

 nearly as much linen as 2cwt of this filhy combination. We muft therefore conclude, that 

 flone of the propofed methods will be in any economical point of view of much confequence.
