Method  of  tanning  Leather.  i a 7- 
xix.  When  you  find  your  hides  fufficiently  raifed,  put 
them  directly  into  the  ooze,  and  go  on  with  the  tanning 
as  in  the  old  way ; and  you  will  fee  that  the  lime-water 
ooze  penetrates  raifed  leather  even  falter  than  it  does 
butts  or  calf-fkins,  allowance  being  made  for  their  dif- 
ferent degrees  of  thicknefs. 
xx.  Let  it  be  now  fuppofed  that  you  have  your  cittern 
fixed,  your  lime-water  prepared,  and  fome  letches  full 
of  lime-water  ooze,  which  has  been  run  through  two 
letches  in  order  that  the  lime-water  may  completely 
fpend  its  force  on  the  bark ; you  are  not  to  throw  away 
what  common  ooze  you  have  in  ftock  in  the  yard,  but 
only  as  it  fliall  be  fpent;  then,  indeed,  you  are  to  throw 
it  away,  and  fupply  its  place  with  the  lime-water  ooze. 
xxi.  In  a very  few  days  you  will  perceive  the  difference 
between  the  activity  of  the  two  oozes,  the  new  and  old, 
with  refpect  to  penetrating  the  leather;  and  thus,  with- 
out any  kind  of  lofs  or  wafte,  you  will  get  rid  of  all  your 
old  liquors,  and  come  fpeedily  into  a full  ftock  of  the 
ooze  made  with  lime-water;  and  after  you  have  got  the 
new  method  eftablifhed,  your  bufinefs  will  go  in  a regu- 
lar courfe,  and  one  parcel  of  goods  will  fucceed  another, 
as  faff  as  you  can  manufacture  and  difpofe  of  them. 
xxii.  Though  it  is  poffible  to  tan  {mall  parcels  of  lea- 
ther, by  way  of  experiment,  by  the  ufe  of  lime-water 
ooze,,
