Side 53 - As the polish depends almost entirely upon these two operations, care must be taken that they are performed with a regular and steady movement. When the marble has received the first polish, the flaws, cavities, and soft spots are sought out and filled with mastic of a suitable color.
Side 54 - Well wash the prepared surfaces, and leave them until perfectly dry ; then take a linen cushion, moistened only with water, and a little powder of calcined tin of the first quality. After rubbing with this for some time, take another cushion of dry rags, rub with it lightly, brush away any foreign substance which might scratch the marble, and a perfect polish will be obtained.

The third operation...

Side v - Marble working. It will be understood ; it will excite comparative ideas ; it will draw forth essays ; it will attract attention to this art ; and our object will be gained if it restores to the ateliers of the Marble workers some of the emulation which they seem to have lost. It is divided into five parts. The first treats of Marbles in general, of their qualities beauties, and defects. The second treats of the use, cutting, and polishing of the different Marbles which are in commerce. The third...
