To put a curious Black on Leather.

Take two pound of the in∣ward Bark of an Old Elder, the like quantity of the Rust or Fi∣lings of Iron, put these into two gallons of Rain-Water, and close them right up in a Vessel, and when they have stood about six weeks, put in a pound of Nut galls well bruised, a quar∣ter of a pound of Copperas, let them simper a considerable time over a fire, and after twenty four hours standing, and often stir∣ring, pour out the Liquid part, and go over your Leather with it warm, and it produces a cu∣rious German Black.
