Reduce  the  camphor  to  powder  by  rubbing  it  in  a  mortar  with  the  addi- 
tion of  an  ounce  or  more  of  almond  oil,  then  sift  it.  When  the  soap  is  melted 
and  ready  to  turn  out,  add  the  camphor  and  rosemary,  using  the  crutch  for 
mixing.

The  above  forms  are  indicative  of  the  method  for  perfuming  soaps  while 
hot  or  melted. 
All  the  very  highly  scented  soaps  are,  however,  perfumed  cold,  the  ex- 
planation of  which  must  be  reserved  for  our  next  publication. 
The  variously-named  soaps— from  the  sublime  "  Sultana  ;?  to  the  ridicu- 
lous £!  Turtle's  Marrow  " — we  cannot,  of  course,  be  expected  to  notice ;  the 
reader  may,  however,  rest  himself  assured  that  he  has  lost  nothing  by  their 
omission. 
The  receipts  given  produce  only  the  finest  quality  of  the  article  named. 
Where  cheap  soaps  are  required,  not  much  acumen  is  necessary  to  discern 
that  by  omitting  the  expensive  perfumes,  or  lessening  the  quantity,  the  object- 
desired  is  attained.  Still  lower  qualities  of  scented  soap  are  made  by  using 
greater  proportions  of  yellow  soap,  and  employing  a  very  common  curd, 
omitting  the  oil  soap  altogether. 
In  the  last  number  of  the  "Annals"  the  methods  explained  of  scenting 
soap  involved  the  necessity  of  melting  it.  The  high  temperature  of  the  soap 
under  these  circumstances  involves  the  obvious  loss  of  a  great  deal  of  per- 
fume by  evaporation.  With  very  highly-scented  soaps,  and  with  perfume  of 
an  expensive  character,  the  loss  of  ottos  is  too  great  to  be  borne  in  a  com- 
mercial sense  ;  hence  the  adoption  of  the  plan  of 
Scenting  Soaps  Cold. 
This  method  is  exceedingly  convenient  and  economical  for  scenting  small 
batches,  involving  merely  mechanical  labor,  the  tools  required  being  simply 
an  ordinary  carpenter's  plane,  and  a  good  marble  mortar,  and  lignum  vitsB 
pestle.
