1811.] List of New Pnblicatdons, 481 consider of sufficient- depth; dis- tances and objects receding from the sight, of course ought not to be so deep as your fore-grounds; accor- dingly you will obliterate them with the foregoing varnish, and then let it dry, when you will apply the aquafortis a second time, and re- peat this just as often as you wish to procure different degrees of co., lour.

Every time you take off the aqua. fortis, the plate must be washed twice with soft water, and then ret to dry as before.

To asceitaisn the depth of your work, you should rub a small part with a piece of rag dipped in tur- pentine, and then apply the finger, or a piece of rag rubbed on the oil- rubber, to the place so cleared, and it will give you some idea of the depth.

The walling-wax is taken off by applying a piece of lighted paper to the back of the plate, all round the opposite parts of the margin where the wax is placed, then let the plate cool, and the whole of the grounds, &c. will easily come off' by washing the plate with oil of tur- pentine, which must be used by pass;ing a rag backwards and foir- wards until the whole dissolves; it is tnen to be cleared off by rags; and care must be taken that no part of the turr,entine is left klanging about the plate.

The plate should only pass once through the press.

Direction respecting Grounds. No. I. The ground in hot wea-

ther must have an additional one- third of spirits of wine added to it for coarse grounds, to' represent chalk; and one-half added to it for fine grounds to represent black-lead pencil; and always to be kept in a cold place in summer, and a moderate warm situation in win- ter.

N.B.-If any parts are not bit strong enough, the same process is to be repeated.

Gum-water must be made in the proportion of half an ounce of gum- arabic to a quarter of a pint of wa- ter.

Turpentine-varnish is composed of an ounce of black rosin to an eight h part of a pitt of spirits of turpea- tine; if the weather is excessive warm, it ought to be made with a sixth part of a pint of spirits of tur- penttitle.

Tracing-rag should be made of a piece oLf htis1 linlen, not too much worn, the surface of which is to be rubbed with another rag dipped in sweet oil, just suffiiciest to retain a small portion of vermilion or porund- ed red-chalk l'this' inust be placed with the coloured ipart towarlds the ground of the plate, and the drawing or txacing laid upon it, which must be traced very lightly with a blunt point or needle.

MONTHLY RETROSPECT OF POLITICS.

POLITICAL speculation is now, in a great degree, turned from

Europe to America. On the whole of that continent, and in the Unit- ed States particularly interesting to us, great events, which had been slo wIly ripening into maturity, are now accelerated in their prgress; and as the affairs that took place in Europe contributed to their early developement, so existing circum- stances on this side of the Atlantic have hastened results in the other, and, a, it were, quickened the pro- ductive power of time. We never doubted, that, in a slow though sure progression, America, Asia, and even the ine rt and insulated mass of Africa, would experience the con- sequentces of chlaiges that have lately taken place in Europe, such is the connexion of the modern world, and the extension of social sympathies by various interconmmu- ilication. Light and heat excited in one portion of this great con- nected circle, will be tratnsmitted through the vhole chain, not by the nearest road, but by chusing the best cond uctors.

It may indeed be a question whe- ther more of the prophlet or of the poet, was displayed in the foiloving lines written manny years ago by bue of the most acute philosophers and best men that ever exioed.

" Westward the course of empire bends its way ;

The four first acts already past, The fifth will close the drama with the day.

Times noblest offspring is the last."' Whatever may be the circumrevolu.

tion of empire, we wish at present only to attend to the instrumentality of European change, in accelerating the developement of mind, or of mankind, throughout the American continent, but, most effectually, in that portion of it where there had been previously the greatest intellec. tual advancement. What Europe is to the rest ofi the world, the United States are to the American continent. And the same impulse and influence will be the result of that superiority of intellectual improvement, in form- img the general character, and in fixing the future destinies of that gratid division of the globe. We doubt it not. The United States by the rapid pressure of circumstances, will become, in muchi shorter tisne than was ever supposed, ARAITERS Of the fate, the fontune, the freedom of many nmillions on that vast contunent, exclusive of their own teeming po- pulation.

Old establishments contemplating things only as they are, and exerting all their endeavours to preserve things always just (as they are, sit in the ceitre of existing circumnstances as the hare in her form, with reverted eyves, and ears erect to the rustle of the least alarm. But youtig states consider things as they are likely to be. They have to push their for- tunes in the world, and they look forward and upward hith the eye and heart of the eagle. It will be, we think, for the councils of Ame- rica, at such a pregnant season as wtie present, to entertain views grand- ly prospective, and uconmensurate,
