the earl of Dunponatp, wherein the writer 
afferts, that “ cryftals of Soda, of all others, 
contain a falt the fitreft and beft adapted for the 
purpofes of bleaching, as it unites eaher with 
the colouring maiter of linen, and as linen yarn 
boiled with it is fnooNer fRinned than that which 
is boiled with any kind of foreign pearl.” it 
is farther ftated, that by the application of 
thefe cryftals in wafking, more than one-half 
of the foap‘general'y madeufe of will be faved,
