Of the Cheapness and Orreability of JAMES M'ADAM'S
MINERAL BROWN PAINT.
Barrack-Office, 1411. March, 1814.
We hereby certify, that the Temporary Wooden Barracks
in Great Britain have been for several years past covered
with Mr. James liPAdam's Mineral Brown Paint, fur the
preservation of the Weather.boniding, and has fully an-
swered the purpose for which it was applied.

The above Certificate made by order of the Commis-
airmen fur the Affairs of Barracks.

JOHN STAPLETON, Secretary.
Ply II Lines, May 26, 1807.
This is to certify, that. by order of General Mercer, at the
desire of James NPAdaril, we made experiments with Ids
preparation of Mineral Brown Paint in April and Septem-
ber, 1806.
The situation of the wood end iron-work made use of ht
Ma experiment is very high, and entirely exposed to the
wind from the Channel, where it is difficult to find any
coating able to resist the weather. The paint, after having
stood the winter in the above situation, has formed a very
hard and compict body ou both wood and iron work : the
weal, when cut, is hard and very dry; the iron tree from
every appearance of rust. From the present appearance of
the Mineral Brown Paint, its hard, solid, and impenetrable
Mate, there is every reason to believe that it will defend the
wood and iron-work for years, against the effect of weather
and the moisture of the atmosphere ; ■nd we give it as our
opinion, that it is a usefol costing fur wood and iron-work
exposed to the weather, or to damp, and consider it to be
cheaper thou any other that can be procured.

carts, and other word work exposed to the weather, with
every probability of pumas; we, therefore, after nearly
eight years additional experience, have no hesitation in con•
firming that Certificate, as to the general good qualities of
