opposite to the white paper, one parallel to each 

 side and end, and 1J inches from the edge. 

 These lines will cross each other so as to 

 leave a square of 1^ inches at each corner. 

 Cut out those four little squares. Then 

 partially cut into the strawboard, along the 

 lines, and fold upwards so as to form the sides 

 and ends of the box. Then take the portion 

 for the lid. Reserve the side where it was 

 separated from the other piece as the line of 

 hinge, but on the opposite side, and at both 

 ends, rule lines parallel to the side and ends 

 an inch and five-twelfths from the edge. Cut 

 out the corner squares, and fold as before. 

 It will be observed in folding, that the white 

 paper is the lining of the box, and must be 

 kept inwards. The angles will next be secured 

 by pieces of linen tape glued on the outside, 

 and the lid will be attached to the box by a 

 strip of broad linen tape glued in the same 

 manner. 



The finished box will be 16 inches long 

 by 11 inches broad, and 1 inches deep, 

 having a lid with deep sides and ends, to 

 overlap the box and exclude dust. It is 

 better not to fasten the corners of the lid
