Having discovered, after a diligent and pauent comparison of seve- 

 ral recent French works on dying, with that of Homassel, which was 

 translated and published by Dr. Cooper, several years since, that they 

 contained little more than the receipts of this author, the writer was 

 induced to search for a German work on dying, in the hope of procur- 

 ing original receipts. The work by Helterhoff was loaned and re- 

 commended to him by a German manufacturer of silk fringe, &c. ; and 

 the following articles pointed out, as worthy of insertion. They were 

 accordingly translated; and, it is hoped, wili be found useful.
