Página 125 - Brewster, who successfully transferred, by pressure, the splendid tints of the pearl to black wax, fusible metal, balsam of tolu, lead, tin, and various other substances. The colours displayed by fusible metal possess at first extraordinary beauty, which in a short time is partially lost, owing to a change that occurs upon the surface of the metal. A few months ago, while engaged upon some experiments in electrotyping, I was led to think, that, by this process, the hues of the pearl might be readily...

The mass is then allowed to subside, the clear solution of muriate of ammonia is drawn off, and the carbonate of lime is washed and dried.

Página 125 - I was led to think, that, by this process, the hues of the pearl might be readily transferred to those metals which, from their hardness, are incapable of receiving impressions in mass, but yet, on account of their freedom from oxidation, retain for a long time a surface comparatively pure.

When seen by a single light, as...
