Under Her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent, (GRANTED TO LANGSTON SCOTT.) WHITE OXIDE OF ZINC FOR PAINT, &c. CROWLEY, WHITE, AND CROWLEY, CLASS 2. ADVANTAGES. No. 61. Healthfulness, Durability, Unchangeableness, Purity of Colour, WHITE LEAD FORMS THE BASIS of almost every Paint, and when used gives out poisonous exhalations, destructive to the constitution. The Lives of delicate and aged persons are often sacrificed by inhaling its pernicious properties; whilst lingering disease and premature death attend those employed in its manufacture and use. A sufficient substitute for White Lead has for many years occupied the attention of Scientific Men, without their arriving at any practical result. This was eventually in part obtained by Monsr. Leclaire, at Paris, in 1846. Messrs. CROWLEY, WHITE, and CROWLEY now offer to Export Merchants and the Trade, a disinfecting agent in White Zinc, perfectly free from all deleterious properties, OF GUARANTEED PURITY (UNDER BRAND), EITHER IN THE DRY OR GROUND STATE. Gentlemen, (Certificate.) Ansdale Street, Salt-house Dock, Liverpool, Aug. 23, 1852. We are much gratified to find the last parcel of Oxide of Zine so much improved in body, and as the colour of the first parcel was very satisfactory, we see very little difficulty in its way to more general adoption and use, for it certainly has, in many respects, a decided advantage over White Lead in situations of severe test-contiguity to bilge water; cesses; wherever gases are evolved, &c.-and we may mention two cases in point: the one was a stable and petit, and the other an apartment in an antiquated building, exceedingly low, with the beams prominently crossing it. In both these instances it was customary to have them painted and whitewashed annually. The workman employed was so ashamed of these at the usual time for renewing, that, hearing of the peculiar properties of the Oxide of Zinc in resisting the action of foul air and gases, he gave Zine a trial, and the result was, on his employers going over the work when it was supposed to require doing again, that it was deemed unnecessary. Your Oxide of Zine was that employed, and we have supplied it subsequently, but, of course, time alone will confirm the result. The Zine was used both in paint and dry, same as Whiting or Paris White. We are, gentlemen, your obedient Servants, (Signed, J. MATTHEWS AND CO., Wholesale Colourmen. Messrs. LANGSTON SCOTT AND WHITE. 1, Orford Street, Liverpool, June 22nd, 1852. THIS is to Certify, we painted the Ship "Owen Potter" in June, 1851, with Zinc Paint, manufactured by Mr. LANGSTON SCOTT, of London, which quite suited our expectation as to colour and durability, on her return rom Calcutta in April last. We also found in the Barque "Agnes" of London, that her cabin, ceilings, state rooms, &c., were not affected by the Steam of a Sugar Cargo, as had always been the caso when painted with White Lead Paint, the Zinc Paint in this case quite retaining the purity of its original J. AND W. WILSON, Messrs. L. SCOTT AND WHITE. Ship Owners and Wholesale Colourmen. colour. (Signed) Dear Sir, Mr. W. W. Cooze, 23, Frith Street, Soho Square, Dec. 16th, 1851. In answer to your inquiry respecting my opinion of the Zinc Paint, I beg to say that, having used it very extensively, I have bad an opportunity of testing it in various ways, and have come to the conclusion that it must ultimately supersede White Lead. I remain, dear Sir, yours very truly, (Signed) W. W. COOZE, To L. SCOTT, ESQ.
