1 40 -pounds, of wood-ashes perfectly 
burned 50 pounds, of pearl-ashes 10 pounds, 
and of common salt 12 pounds. The follow- 
ing receipts are taken for the most part from 
-ivuntkel, who says that they are the true 
.glazings used at Delft and other Dutch ma- 
nufactories. 
black is made of eight parts of red-lead, 
non-tilings three, copper-ashes three, and 
/ailer two measures. This when melted will 
m ake a brown-black, and if wanted blacker, 
acid more z after to it. 
blue is thus prepared: Take lead-ashes or 
red-lead one pound ; clear sand or powdered 
fi.nts two pounds, common salt two pounds, 
v bite calcined tartar one pound, Venice or 
other glass half a pound, z after half a pound ; 
mix them and melt them for several times, 
quenching them always in cold water. If 
you would have it fine and good, it will be 
proper to put the mixture into a glass-fur- 
nace for a day or two. Another blue glaz- 
ing may be formed of one pound of tartar, a 
quarter of a pound of red-lead, half an ounce 
ot zaller, and a quarter of a pound of pow- 
dered flints, which are to be fused and ma- 
naged as in the last receipt. Or, take two 
pounds of calcined lead and tin, add live 
pounds ot common salt, live pounds of pow- 
dered flints, and of zafTer, tartar, and Vene- 
tian glass, each one pound. Calcine and 
fuse the mixture as before. Or again, take 
of red-lead one part, of sand three parts, and 
ot zaiter one part, bora violet-blue glazing, 
fake four ounces of tartar, two ounces of red- 
lead, live ounces of powdered flints, and half 
a dram of manganese. 
Brown is made of red-lead and flints, of 
•each 14 parts, and of manganese two parts 
fused, or of red-lead 12 parts, and manganese 
one part fused. A brown glazing, to be laid 
On a white ground, may be made of manga- 
nese two parts, and o‘f red-lead and white 
glass, of each one part, twice fused. 
Flesh-coloured is made of 12 parts of lead- 
ashes, and one of white glass. 
Gold-coloured. Take of litharge three 
paits, of sand or calcined flint one part; 
pound and mix these very well together, 
tnen inn them into a yellow glass with a 
strong lire. Pound this glass, and grind it 
into a subtile powder, which moisten with a 
well-saturated solution of silver; make it into 
a paste, which put into a crucible, and cover 
it with a cover. Give at iirst a gentle de- 
gree of lire ; then increase it, and Continue 
it till you have a glass, which will be green. 
Pound this glass again, and grind it to a fine 
powder; moisten this powder with some 
beer, so that by means of a hair-pencil vou 
may apply it upon the vessels or any piece 
of earthenware. The vessels that are paint- 
ed or covered over with this glazing must be 
first well heated, then put under a muffle ; 
and as soon as the glass runs, you must smoke 
them by holding them over burning vege- 
tables, and take out the vessels. 
Kunekel gives several preparations for a 
gold-coloured yellow glazing. This may be 
produced by fusing a mixture of three parts 
of red-lead, two. parts' of antimony, and one 
patt ot saffron of Mars ; by again melting the 
powdered mass, and repeating the operation 
four times, or by fusing four or five times a 
composition of red-lead and antimony, of 
each an ounce, and of scales of iron half an 
punce; or by calcining and fusing together 
G L A 
eight parts of red-lead, six parts of flint one 
part ot yellow ochre, one part of antimony, 
and one part: of white glass. A transparent 
gold-coloured glazing may be obtained by 
twice fusing red-lead anti white flints, bf each 
12 parfs, and ol filings of iron one part. 
Green may be prepared of eight parts of 
litharge or red-lead, eight parts of Venice 
glass, four parts of brass-dust or filings of 
copper; or of ten parts of litharge, twelve of 
flint or pebble, and one of ax iistum or copper 
ashes. A fine green glazing tnay be pro- 
duced by fusing one part of the. Bohemian 
granite, one ot filings of copper, one of red- 
lead, and one of Venetian glass ; or by fusing 
one part ot white glass, the same quantity of 
red-lead, and also ot tilings of copper; pow- 
dering the mass, and adding one part of Bo- 
hemian granite to two parts of this powder. 
A fine green may be obtained by mixing and 
grinding together any of the yellow glazings 
with equal quantities of the ‘blue glazings; 
and all the shades and tints of green will be 
had by varying the proportion of the one to 
the other, arid by the choice of the kind of 
yellow and blue. 
Sea-green is made of five pounds of lead- 
ashes, one pound of tin-ashes, three pounds 
ot flint, three quarters of a pound of salt, half 
a pound of tartar, and half a pound of copper- 
dust. 
Iron-colour is prepared of 15 parts of lead- 
ashes or red-lead, 14 of white sand or flints, 
and live of calcined copper. This mixture is 
to be calcined and fused. 
Liver-colour is prepared of 12 parts of li- 
tharge, eight of salt, six of pebble or flint, 
and one of manganese. 
Purple brown consists of lead-ashes 15 
parts, clean sand or powdered flints 18 parts, 
manganese one part, and white glass 15 mea- 
sures, to which some add one measure of 
/after. 
Bed is made of antimony three pounds, 
litharge or red-lead three, and rust of iron 
one; grind them to a line powder. Or, take 
two pounds of antimony, three of red-lead, 
and one of calcined saffron of Mars, and pro- 
ceed as before. 
White. 1 he white glazing for common 
ware is made ot 40 pounds of clear sand, 75 
pounds of litharge or lead-ashes, 26 of pot- 
ashes, and 10 pounds of salt; these are three 
times melted into a cake, quenching it each 
time in clear cold water. Or it mav be male 
of 50 pounds of clean sand, 70 of lead-ashes, 
30 of wood-ashes, and 1 2 of salt. For a tine 
white, take two pounds of lead and one of 
tin; calcine them to ashes: of this take two 
parts; calcined flint, white sand, or broken 
white glass, one part; and salt, one part; 
mix them well together, and melt them into 
a cake for use. 1 he trouble ot calcining the 
tin and lead may be prevented by procuring 
them in a proper state. A very fine white 
glazing may be obtained by calcining two 
parts of lead and one part of tin, and taking 
one part ot this mass, and ot Hints and com- 
mon salt ot each one part, and fusing the 
mixture. A white glazing may be also pre- 
pared by mixing 100 pounds of masticot, GO 
ot red-lead, 20 of calcined tin or putt v, and 
10 of common salt, and calcining and pow- 
dering the mixture several times. 
Yellow is prepared of red-lead three 
pounds, calcined antimony and tin of each 
two pounds; or, according to some, of equal 
quantities of the three ingredients. These 
must be melted into a cake, then ground 
line, and this operation repeated several 
times; or it may be made of 15 parts of lead- 
ore, three parts of litharge of silver, and 15 
parts of sand. A fine yellow glazing; may be 
procured by mixing five parts of red-'ead, 
two parts of powdered brick, one part of 
sand, one part of the white glazings, and 
two parts of antimony, calcining the mixture 
and then fusing it. Or, take four parts of 
white glass, one part of antimony, three parts 
of red-lead, and one part of iron-scales, and 
fuse the mixture ; or fuse 10 parts of flints, 
('lie part of iron-tilings, and 24 parts of li- 
tharge. A light-yellow glazing may be pro- 
duced with ten parts of red-lead, three parts 
ot antimony, and three of glass, and two 
parts of calcined tin (see gold-colour above); 
A citron yellow is made of six parts of red- 
lead, seven parts of fine red brickdust, and 
two parts of antimony. This mixture must 
•be calcined day and night for the space of 
tour days, in the ash-hole of a glass-house 
furnace,, and at last urged to fusion. Bee

GLEANING. It has been said, that by 
the common law and custom of England the 
poor are allowed to enter and glean upon 
another’s ground after the harvest, without 
being guilty of trespass; and this humane 
provision seems borrowed from the Mosaical 
law. 3 Black. 212. 
But it is now positively settled, by a so- 
lemn judgment of the court of common pleas, 
that a right to glean in the harvest-field can- 
not be claimed by any person at -common 
law; neither have the poor of a parish, le- 
gally settled, such a right. 1 Ii. Black. 
Rep. 51 — 63. 
GLEBE. Gl ebe land is a portion of 
land, meadow 7 , or pasture, belonging to, or 
parcel of, the parsonage or vicarage, over 
and above the tithes. Godolph. Rep. 409. 
Glebe lands, in the hands of the parson, 
shall not pay tithes to the vicar; nor being 
in the hands of the vicar, shall they pay tithe 
to the parson. Deggs, Pars. Conns, c. 2. 
By stat. 28 IT. \ ILL c. 11, every successor 
on a month’s warning, after induction, shall 
have the mansion-house and the glebe be- 
longing thereto, not sown at the time of the 
predecessor’s death. He that is instituted 
may enter into the glebe land before induc- 
tion, and plead right against all strangers. 
When a parson or vicar has caused any of 
his glebe lands to be manured and sown, at 
his own charge, with corn or grain, he may 
by will devise all the profits and corn grow- 
ing upon the said glebe; and in case he dies 
without disposing thereof, his executors shall 
have the same. 
GLECHOMA, ground-ivy, a genus of 
the gymr.osperinia order, in the didynamia 
class of plants, and in the natural method 
ranking under the 42d order, verticillahe. 
Each pair of the anthers: come together in 
the form of a cross; the calyx is quinquefid. 
There is one species, the hederacea, or com- 
mon ground-ivy, which is so well known that 
it requires no description. Many virtues 
were formerly attributed to this plant, which 
it is now found not to be possessed of. Some 
however it has. I he leaves are thrown into 
the vat with ale, to clarity it and give it a lia-
