Take a coffee-pot, filled with water, and add to it a quantity of paper,

which has been slightly sized, like that used for printing engravings.

Let it boil three hours, and, when the water has evaporated, boil it

again for a similar length of time. Take out the paper, and squeeze it

well in a colander, and then pound it in a mortar, until it is reduced

to a very fine paste. It must then be dried. When it is required for

use, add to it some of the solution of gum-arabic, and keep it in a pot

for use.
