[A little common glue-size, made thin, would be better than bees-wax
and turpentine. The best varnish that can be used is that made in
France, and may be had at Barbe Lechertier's, Artists' Colourman, 60.
Regent's Quadrant. It is called French varnish for leather, and is sold
at 14s. per pound. There is also a common varnish for leather, which
can be purchased {424} at Reilly's varnish manufactory, 19. Old Street,
St. Luke's. It is sold at about 3s. 6d. per pint.]
