Then remove the leaf carefully, and place the blackened surface on a sheet of white paper, not ruled, or in a book prepared for the purpose, covering the leaf with a clean slip of paper, and pressing upon it with the fingers, or roller, as before.

Σελίδα 281 - When this very delicate process is attempted, blotting paper should be laid under every part excepting the blossoms, in order to prevent staining the white paper. Great care must be taken to keep preserved specimens in a dry place...

And this process is so simple, and the materials so easily obtained, that any person, with a little practice to enable him to apply the right quantity of smoke to the oil-paper, and give the leaf a proper pressure, can prepare beautiful leaf impressions, such as a naturalist would be proud to possess.

In compound flowers, with those also of a stubborn and solid form, as the Centaurea, some little art is required in cutting away the under part, by which means the profile and forms of the flowers will be more distinctly exhibited.

Σελίδα 313 - An animal is salient when leaping forwards bendways. To griffins the term segreant is given, in place of rampant. Animals of the deer kind have their positions otherwise blazoned. Thus, when looking full-faced, they are said to be at gaze ; when standing, statant ; when walking, tripping ; when leaping forward, springing ; when running, courant ; and when at rest on the ground, lodged. A horse when running is blazoned courant, or in full speed; when leaping, cabre1, effray, or saliant ; when rearing,...
Σελίδα 229 - When dry, rub smooth with pumice stone, and give two other coats. Dry. Arrange leaves in any manner and variety, according to taste. Gum the leaves on the under side, and press them upon their places. Then dissolve some isinglass in hot water, and brush it over the work. Dry. Give three coats of copal varnish, allowing ample time for each coat to dry. Articles thus ornamented last for years, and arc very pleasing.
Σελίδα 264 - After they are taken out of the dye, rinse them two or three times in clear cold water (except the red), which must only be done once. Then lay them on a tray, over which a cloth has been spread, before a good fire ; when they begin to dry and unfold, draw each feather gently between your thumb and finger, until it regains its proper shape.
