It may readily be believed that the discovery of varnish was the fruit of re- peated trials ; and though those who made them had conti- nually in their hands the essential materials, there was still wanting a motive, which was soon created among peaceable and industrious nations, by a taste for luxury, and by com- jDercial communication. 4 INTRODUCTION, XI Bat, if a knowledge of the theoiy which is now appHed to certain manipulations in the arts, founded on the em- ployment of chemical combinat...ions, is deduced from a great number of leading facts, so intimately connected with these manipulations that they are a necessary and even expected result of them, the cause of them would, perhaps, have remained long unknown, without the influence of societies established for the purpose of exciting and calling forth the energies of the human mind. The public respect attached to these associations of learned men and artists distinguished by their merit, and still more the support of governments, which promote experiments and enterprises that require en- couragement, have contributed not a little towards those interesting discoveries for which the present period is cele- brated.
