To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If the fire at this time is strong and regular, in about eight or ten minutes the gum and oil will concentrate and become quite clear; this is to be tested by taking a piece of broken window- glass in the left hand, and with the riglit lifting up the stirrer and dropping a portion of the varni-h on it ; if it appears clear and transparent, the oil and gum are become concentrated or joined together. It is now to be farther boiled until it will string between the finger and thumb; this is known b...y once every min- ute dropping a portion on the glass and taking a little between the forefinger and thumb. If it is boiled enough it will stick strong, and string out into fine filaments, like bird-lime; but when not boiled enough, it is soft, thick, and greasy without being stringy. The moment it is boiled enough, carry it from the fire to the ash- bed, where let it remain from fifteen to twenty minutes, or until it is cold enough to be mixed ; have at hand a sufficient quantity of oil of turpentine to fill the pouring-pot (two gallons); begin and pour out with a small stream, gradually increasing it, and if the varnish rises rapidly in the pot, keep stirring it constantly at the surface with the stirrer to break the bubbles, taking care not to let the stirrer touch the bottom of the pot, for if it should, the oil of turpentine would be in part converted into vapor, and the varnish would run over the pot in a moment; therefore, during the mixing, keep constantly stirring as well as pouring in at the same time.
