I am induced to recommend this method, from a knowledge that this kind of timber is generally prepared for its respective uses in places where no danger is to be appre- hended from the experiment. Such numerous facts and so many cir- cumstances have concurred to convince me that oxydation is a certain remedy for this pestilential phenomenon ; and knowing the great expense and trouble annually in- curred in many edifices in this country, where nothing but repair after repair is re- peated, produ...cing no other effect than eventually to endanger their equilibrium, and deprive the country of some of its best specimens of architectural beauty, the duty I owe to society, and the attachment I feel for such embellishments, have led me to communicate the result of those ex, periments that have proved efficacious and certain. Respecting the process of oxydation, nothing would have prevented its being sooner introduced into practice, but the difficulty of succeeding upon all the va- riety of wood-work necessary in our man- ner of finishing buildings.
