cient to introduce a few heads of garlic 
Into their fubterraneous walks. It has

Citizen J. ViaLarp, at the ci-devant 
College of Harcourt, Rue de la Earpe, at 
Paris, has been employed for feveral years 
on the art of rettoring, or regenerating, 
books, defigns, outlines, prints, &c. The 
public is primarily inde bted to the learn- 
ed Chaptal for this valuable difcovery 5 
but Citizen Vialard has carried ‘it to a 
high degree of perfeétion. He acknow- 
ledges that he has had inftruétions. from 
the beft malters ; and that he has difcover- 
ed nothing peculiar i in the art, but the im- 
provement of it, both in the ufe and in 
the compolition of acid liquors, and in 
hiving been the ‘firt to render it appli- 
cable to the purpoles of commerce. His 
firft lefons were given by M. Roux, whofe 
taleets or the repairing of prints are above 
all He is indebted to M, Ro-

[June i, 
ger, an excellent artift in all that relates to 
the purification of oils, (of the Cloitter 
St. Benoit,) for his acquaintance with 
the compofition of acids. M. Heraud, 
an apothecary, now residing at Briondes, 
has likewife commun‘¢ited the refult of 
his obfervations ; and the experiments 
which they have made together, have been 
fo much the more ufeful, in that they have 
conduéted Citizen Vialard to the compo. 
fition of a new liquor, indifpenfible for 
removing grealy fubfiances, and recover- 
ing paper that is mouldy, rotten, and even 
damaged by fea-water. M. Bozerian, the 
elder, whofe talents are well “Eatit has 
commmunicated the procefs of reftori ing te 
paper the ftrong tone which it hid lot, 
either from its antiquity, ¢ or from its ie 
ing been {tained by acids. His judicious 
obfervations have been of fingular help in 
difficult circumftances. Citizen Vialard 
has not been difcouraged in his career by 
difficulties, feemingly without number, and 
which might be confidered as almoft in- 
furmountable. His firft experiments fery- 
ed to frengthen his confhdence. The 
flattering teftimonies of the Conferyators of 
the National Libraries, and of others, the 
moft diftinguifhed by their knowledge of 
ancient books, attraéted the foftering re- 
gards of the learned focieties, all of whom 
have pronounced in his favour. Citizen. 
Vialard can now, therefore, announce both 
to the amateurs, and to thofe engaged in 
trade, the infallible means of reftoring 
valuable articles, the antiquity of which 
is a frefh call upon our gratitude to the 
inventors of the typographic art; but 
whofe bad condition feems to fay to the 
proprietors, Nolite nos tangere—T ouch us 
not. According to Citizen Vialard, the 
manutention (or handling) of fpoiled pa- 
per is familiar to him. He is well ac- 
quainted with the difference of printer?s 
ink, and the fuperior care that is required 
in meddling om what has been uled in 
one age, to what has been ufed in ano- 
ther. The compofition of different acid 
liquors renders the application of them 
more eafy and fafe; and he avers that he 
can make a {plendid book of one that is 
worm-eaten, mouldy, rotten, and that has 
been even drenched in the ie -water ; and 
that books in this deplorable (tate, which 
have been configned to him, have recover- 
ed their former beauty and frefhnefs.
