mon evenness and beauty of surface, the superior
transparency and ghtness of color the great thick

which compose them. The surface not being polish
ed after being blown, retains the enamel brilllancy,
and hardness, and is not subject To the objection so
often applied to Plate Glass of being easily defaced
and permanently bedimmed by dust; being made OF
extra thickness, WILL without injury, withstand vio-
lent winds, hail storms jars of cannon, &c lis use,
