44 This is to certify, that by order of General Mercer, at the
desire of Messrs. M'Adam and Ca we made experiments with
their preparations •of Mineral Brown Paint in April and Sep-
' tember 1806. The sittration of the wood and iron work made use
of in this 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 withstood tie
winter in the above situation, has formed a very hard and coot=
pact body on both wood and iron work ; the wood when cut is
hard and very dry; the iron free from every appearance Of rust.—
From the present appearance of the Mineral Brown .Paint, Its
hard, solid, and impenetrable staseszhere is every reason to believe
that it win defend the wood had-iron work for years against the
effect of weather and the moisture of the atmosphere ; and we give
it as our opinion, that it is a tneful coating for wood and iron
work exposed to the weather or to damp, and consider it to be
cheaper than any other that can be procured.

" We hereby certify, that Messrs. M'Adam and Co.'s Mineral
and Brows Paint has continued in general use in this Department,
for all kinds of fences, since the date of the above certificate of
May 26, 1807, that it has also latterly been used on sentry boxes,
travelling magazines, side arm racks, carts, and other wood work
exposed to the weather, with every probability of success; we,
therefore, after nearly eight years' addititmal experience, have no
hesitation in confirming that certificate, as to the general good qua-
lities of the Paint in question, for the preservation of wood and
iron work. " BEN. JONES, Clerk of Works,
