285 If the cotton be in hanks or skeins, it is probable that it will have to go through processes that will an- swer for enlivening it: but if you wish it enlivened, boil it for twenty minutes, or half an hour, in a solu- tion of white soap, an ounce to the pound of cotton. Then wash and dry it in the shade, or in a stove not heated beyond 100° at the utmost. The brazil colour is fastened by the blood and galls. For cheap goods and common colourSj'^make them the followers of fine goods, so as t...o use up the mate- rials not quite spent, and employ upon them a quan* tity of ingredients lessened in proportion to the expense you choose to lay on them. But as sheep's dung and blood certainly contribute to the fixity of the madder red, if not of almost every other colour upon cotton, I would employ the one or the other. Generally, the blood and the dung are neglected, or rather they are not in use, but I am well satisfied that the colour is more full and mor^' permanent when they are used; and as the articles are cheap, there is no suf- ficient reason for omitting them.
