Two thirds, or thereabout, of every number shall be devoted to

then proceed to the subjects of bleaching, dying, and printing; 
the making of colours and of drugs ; to brewing, distilling, and 
other subjects of manufacture, concerning which I have already 
made my collections. From one half to one third of each number 
shall be devoted to miscellaneous articles. Like other labourers in 
the same field, I shall depredate in all quarters, and borrow where 
1 1 can ; still, tne work snail bear evident marks of my own labour 
i upon it. T. G.
