Book excerpt: Excerpt from The General Receipt Book: Containing an Extensive Collection of Valuable Receipts, Connected With Domestic Economy To make the celebrated French Polish for Furniture. - If the article to be polished has been previously waxed, it must be cleaned off with glass paper. To one pint of spirits of wine, add two ounces of gum shellac, and half an ounce of gum sandrach; place the whole over a gentle fire, frequently agitating it till the gums are dissolved. Then make a roller of list, put a little of the mixture upon it, and cover that with a soft linen rag, which must be slightly touched with cold-drawn linseed oil. Rub them into the wood in a circular direction, covering only a small space at a time, till the pores of the wood are filled up. After this, rub in, in the same manner, spirits of wine, with a small portion of the polish added to it, and the effect will be complete. To extract Oil from Wood or Stone. - Take one pound of pearlash, half a pound of fresh burnt lime, and a gallon of boiling water; dissolve the pearlash in two pints of the water, and add the remainder of the water to the lime; mix the hot liquors together, and then set the mixture aside in a covered vessel, and when it is cold let it be strained through a cotton bag, and preserve it for use in well corked bottles. To give a fine Colour to Mahogany. - Into a pint of cold-drawn linseed oil put one ounce of alkanet root, and one ounce of rose pink, in an earthen vessel; let it remain all night; then stirring it well, rub some of it over the tables with a linen rag: when it has lain some time, rub it with a linen cloth.
