Paper
Cement.
i.
Reduce
paper
to
a
smooth
paste
by
boiling
it
in
water;
then
add
an
equal
weight
each
of
sifted
whiting
and
good
size;
boil
to
a
proper
consistence,
and
use.
ii.
Take
equal
parts
of
paper,
paste,
and
size,
sufficient
finely-powdered
plaster
of
Paris
to
make
into
a
good
paste,
and
use
as
soon
as
possible
after
it
is
mixed.
This
composition
may
be
used
to
cast
architectural
ornaments,
busts,
statues,
&c.,
being
very
light,
and
susceptible
of
a
good
polish,
but
it
will
not
stand
weather.
2371.
Other
Parts.
The
several
mountains
and
other
parts
being
formed,
join
them
together
in
their
proper
places
with
some
of
the
No.
i.
paper
cement,
rendered
rather
more
fluid
by
the
addition
of
a
little
thin
glue.
The
towns
are
made
of
a
piece
of
cork,
cut
and
scratched
to
the
form
of
the
town;
steeples
of
cardboard,
and
trees
of
blades
of
moss.
Sand
is
sprinkled
in
one
part;
looking-glass
in
others,
for
the
lakes,
bays,
and
rivers;
and
green
baize
flock
for
the
verdant
fields.
2372.
Monuments.
Monuments,
ancient
or
modern,
are
better
constructed
of
cork,
on
account
of
the
lightness
and
facility
in
working,
more
especially
the
ancient
ones.
2373.
Ruins.
Ruins
should
be
constructed
of
cork,
according
to
the
directions
given
above,
and
when
it
is
necessary
to
represent
the
mouldering
walls
covered
with
moss
or
ivy,
a
little
green
baize
flock,
or
moss
chippings,
should
be
attached
by
mucilage
to
the
part;
and
oftentimes
a
brush
of
raw
sienna,
combined
with
varnish,
requires
to
be
laid
underneath
the
moss
or
flock,
in
order
to
improve
the
effect.
Prostrate
columns
and
huge
blocks
are
effectively
represented
in
cork,
and
should
be
neatly
cut
out
with
a
sharp
knife,
and
the
various
parts
supposed
to
be
destroyed
by
age
picked
away
with
a
pin
or
blunt
knife
afterwards.
