1395. Drawing Paper.—That made without any wire marks, and called wove paper, is the best; it is made of various sizes and thicknesses.
1396. To make a good White.—Clarify white lead with white-wine vinegar. After the powder has settled, pour off the vinegar, put the powder into a glass of water, stir it, and pour the water off while it is white into another glass; when it is settled, pour off the water, and an excellent white will be obtained. To this add gum enough to give it a gloss.
