prepare a dilute acid with one part of concentrated sulphuric acid and a 

 pint of water. 



Brighten the copper plate and place the coin to be copied thereon, then 

 apply a coating of bees-wax over all parts of this plate and wire, allowing 

 the surface of the medal you wish to copy, to be the only surface ex- 

 posed. 



Place the plate so that it shall rest flat upon the bottom of the cell — 

 fill this with the solution of sulphate of copper to within half an inch of 

 the top— fix in the shelf, and over the perforation place the cylinder, 

 charged with the dilute acid. Into the acid introduce the zinc plate, and 

 now let the wire of this as well as that of the plate of copper be inserted 

 into the brass l binding-piece? 



[The coin should be previously warmed — wax rubbed over the side we 

 wish to copy and then the wax while warm rubbed off carefully with a 

 soft rag. Lumps of sulphate of copper must also be placed upon the shelf 

 in order to keep the solution in a saturated state.] 



In twenty-four hours a reverse impression of your coin will be deposited, 

 to remove which, take the coin from the copper plate, and warm it over 

 a spirit lamp for a few seconds, then introduce the edge of an ivory 

 knife, and you will be able to detach the copper deposit with ease. You 

 have now only to substitute this mould as in the first step for the coin, and 

 you will have your ' fac-simile.' 



Here then you have the account you wished for, in which, recollect, I 



don't claim the least originality. 



Yours very truly, 



Charles Huffnagle.

{Continued from page 415.) 

 There were four paper factories in the town of Roree in 1839, worked 

 alternately by men who had learnt the craft from their master Jhoora, 

 the principal manufacturer, who receives two anas a day from each ap- 

 prentice. The finest paper he produces is inferior in quality to that of 

 Delhi and Agra; it is made entirely of old hempen rope and string, 

 brought from Hyderabad in lower Sind, and sells in Roree at 6| rupees 

 a mun ; the consumption is very limited and it forms no part of the regu-
