GRAZIA'NI (Anton-Maria), a learned and elegant 
writer, born of a didinguilhed family at Borgo-lan- 
Sepolcro, in Tufcany, in 1537. After he had acquired 
the knowledge of Latin under A’odemio, a celebrated 
mader at Friuli, he was fent to Padua to dudy the law. 
In 1560 lie vifited Rome, where he was received into 
the houfe of cardinal Commendone, who treated him 
with a kindnefs which laid the foundation of an unal¬ 
terable attachment. He accompanied this patron in all 
his journeys into Germany and Poland; and refilled to 
quit him, though folicited with great promifes by Plen- 
ry of Valois, at that time king of the latter country. 
After the death of Commendone in 1584, he was made 
fecretary to pope Sixtus V. He had a confiderable 
fliare in the election of Clement VlII. who, in 1392, 
created him bidiop of Amelia, and fent him as his nun¬ 
cio to the Italian princes and dates, in order to unite 
them in a league againd the Turks. After the clofe of 
his nunciature in 1598, he retired to his fee, where he 
adiduoully employed himfelf in the duties of his func¬ 
tion till liis death in 1611. His writings are, i. De 
Bello Cyprio, Lib. V. 4to. Rome, 1624. A Hidory of the 
War of Cyprus, in elegant Latin. 2. De Vita jfoannis 
Francifci, Commcndoni, Cardinalis, 4to. Par. 1669, 3. De 
Ca/wus Adver/is Virorunt illujlrium, 4to.*Par. 1680: and a 
collecfion of Synodal Ordinances, 1595, folio. A 
podimmous work of his was publilhed at Florence in 
1745, entitled De Scriptis hivita Minerva, ad Aloyjium Fra- 
trem, Lib. XX. 410. in which he not only gives an ac¬ 
count of his own life and writings, but of the public af¬ 
fairs iii which he was engaged, elpecially thofe of Po¬ 
land. This is edeemed as a very curious and intered- 
ing performance.

GREASE, f. S_graijfe, Fr.] The foi't part of the fat; 
the oily or unffuous part of animals.—^o take out a 
fpot of eayr, they ule a coaj upon brown paper. Bacon. 
Thou hop’d, with facrifice of oxen flain, 
To compafs wealth, and bribe the god of gain 
To give thee flocks and herds, with large encreafe : 
Foo! ! to expett them from a bullock’s Dryden. 
M. Defcliamps, of the Philofophical Society at 
Lyons, recommends the following procefs for removing 
Ipots of greafe from paper, printed books, or copper¬ 
plate engravings ;—After having gently warmed the pa¬ 
per or print ftained with greafe, wax, oil, or any fat 
body whatever, take out as much as pollible of it, by 
means of blotting-paper pred’ed down by a hot iron. 
Then dip a fmall brulh in the elTeiitial oil of well-reiSi- 
ded fpirit of turpentine, heated almod to ebullition (for 
when cold it ails very weakly), anddravii it gently over 
both fides oftlie paper or print, which mud be carefully 
kept warm. This operation mud be repeated as many 
times as the quantity of the fat body imbibed by the pa¬ 
per, or the thicknefs of the paper, may render necef- 
lary. When the greafy fubdance is entirely removed, 
recourfe may be had to the following method to redore 
the paper to its former whitenefs, if not completely re- 
dored by the fird procefs ; Dip another brulh in highly- 
reiflified fpirit of wine, and draw it in like maimer over 
the place which was dained, and particularly round the 
edges to remove the border tlmt w'ould Itill prefent a 
dain. By employing thefe means, with proper caution, 
the fpot will totally difappear ; the paper or print will 
relume its original fplendour; and if the procefs has been 
employed on a part written on with coiitmon ink, or 
printed with printers ink, it will experience no alter¬ 
ation. 
To remove Spots of Greafe from Cloth or Silk. —Greafy fub- 
dances are removed from cloths or filks by alkalies, 
foaps, the'yolk of eggs, fat earths; oxyds of iron, by 
the nitric and oxalic acids ; acids by alkalies, and reci¬ 
procally. But when the fpots are of a complex kind, it 
will be neced'ary to employ feveral means in fuccedion. 
1 hits : to deltroy the dain of coom from carriage- 
wheels, after the greafe has been dilfolved, the oxyd of 
iron mud be removed by the oxalic acid.—The follow¬ 
ing may be tonddered as one of the mod valuable re¬ 
ceipts ; Didblve white foap in alcohol, and mix this fo- 
huion with the yolks of from four to five eggs: add 
gradually edence of turpentine ; and incorporate with 
the whole fome fuller’s earth, in fuch a manner as to 
form bulls of a fuitable confidence. Moiden the fpot ; 
and, having rubbed it with thefe balls, the fpot will be 
removed by wadiing the duff. All fpots, except iron- 
mould and ink, may be removed in this maimer. W^afli- 
ing dedroys the ludreof the duff, and leaves a tarnidted 
place dilagreeable to the eye ; but the ludre may be re- 
dored by drawing over the wadied place, and in the di- 
reifion of the pile, a brulh moidetied in water impreg- 
nated with a little gum. You may then apply a Iheet 
of paper, or a piece of cloth, and a condderable weight, 
under which the cloth mud be left to dry.
