red lead twenty pounds, of pearl.allies twenty pounds, 
and of connuonlalt twelve poi^ids. Thefe ingredients 
are ground together, and then calcined for fonie time 
with a moderate heat. Wlien the mixture is cold, it is 
levigated-; and when wanted for ufe, it is tempered 
with water. The proportion of thefe ingredients may 
be occalionally varied. The ware, after being turned 
oil th.e wheel and dried in the open air, is covered over 
witli the above compofition by means of a brulh ; and 
when fet in tlie furnace the violent heat foon reduces it 
to a perfect glafs, covering the whole internal and ex¬ 
ternal furface of the vellel. 
As it is well known that this common glazing by lead 
employed tor earthen ware is of a pernicious nature, 
H. Niefeman, a potter at Leipfic, lias propofed tlie fol¬ 
lowing : Take nitre, pot-alli, and common fait, of each 
half a pound, with double Uiat quantity of pulverifed 
gda.ls, and mix them well together; then take a weii- 
baked flat earthen dilli, cover it pretty thick with well- 
beat clay, Itrew' over tlie clay' as much fand as will ad¬ 
here to it, and fuffer it to dry. Put the above ingre¬ 
dients, well mixtid, into this difli, and introduce it into 
tlie furnace, tliat they may be all fufed together. The 
difli, however, niiift: lie placed wiiliin another, in order 
that the iiigredient.s may not be loll in cafe the difli 
lliould happen to crack : but if it be well covered v^fith 
clay carefully beflrewed with fand, little danger is to 
be appreliended. When the ingredients have been 
fufed, tliey are to be pounded very fine in tlie ufual 
manner, and may be employed as the common glazing 
of lead. The colour of this glazing inclines a little to 
grey, but by tlie addition of the common calcareous 
ipar it acquires a yellow colour : nianganefe gives it a 
brown colour ; and the addition of copper afhes a green 
colour. Thus any colour may be obtained by changing 
the pigment. To avoid, however, every thing that 
bas the appearance of being pernicious, this mixture of 
copper allies fliould be employed only for velfels which 
are to be iifed in wafliing. If this glazing is required 
for any particular purpofe to be difficult of fufion, a 
little lei's litliarge may be added to it ; but the quan¬ 
tity in all cafes muff be fo fmall as to leave no room for 
apprehending tlie leaff bad conrl'equences. This fubfti- 
tiite for the common glazing is Ifrongly recommended 
by profelfor Lc-onhardi. 
M.Weffrumb, aa eminent German cheniift, after being 
required by the government of Hanover to devife a lefs 
jiernicious glazing for earthen ware than that in com¬ 
mon praiffice-, produced the following : i. Take thirty- 
two parts'of fand ; eleven, fifteen, or twenty, parts of 
purilied potafli ; and from three to five parts of borax. 
Or, 3. Take thirty-two parts of flint-glafs; fixteen 
parts of borax ; and three parts of pure potaffi. Or, 
3. Take' one hrrndrcd and fifty parts of cryffallizcd 
Glauber's fait, witii eight parts of pulverifed cliarcoal, 
previoufiy roafted, till it has acquired a grey colour; 
fixteen parts of fand ; and eight parts of borax. Either 
of th.efc will completely anfwer the purpofe, without 
iubjeiting culinary velfels to a gl.izing fo extremely 
pernicious as tliat of lead.

Gleaning, or Leasing, is an ancient cuftom in 
England, by which the poor are allowed to enter and 
glean upon another’s ground, after the harvefl:; as was 
fuppofed, w ithout being guilty of trefpafs ; which Ini- 
mane provifion feems borrowed from the Mofaical law. 
But it is now pofitively fettled by a folemn judgment of 
the court of common pleas, that a right to glean in the 
harvefl-field cannot be claimed by any perl'on at com¬ 
mon law : neither have the poor of a parilh, legally 
I'ettled, fuch right. Gould, J. dilfented from this opi¬ 
nion, quoting the paflages in the Moiaical law', Levit.

tom or priv’ilege in a private aft of parliament for an

ever were of opinion, that it would be dangerous and 
imp^olitic to admit gleaning to be a right, and in faCt 
would be prejudicial to tiie poor thenifelves, now pro¬ 
vided for under various politive ftatutes. They alfo 
remarked that the cuftom of gleaning'or leafing was va¬ 
rious in various places, and was in many places re- 
ftribfed to particular corn, and could not therefore be 
fet up as an univerfal common-law right ; that it would 
be opening a tempting door to fraud and idlenefs, and 
liad never been I'pecifically recognized by any judicial
