  〃M。 de Champnor and M。 F。 Malepeyre; 1862;
  in their Mannel state that Ribaucourt's ink is one
  of the best then in use。 The formula for its preparation
  is as follows:
  Aleppo galls; in coarse powder;    8 ounces。
  Logwood chips;                     4    〃
  Sulphate of iron;                  4    〃
  Powdered gum…arabic;               3    〃
  Sulphate of copper;                1    〃
  Crystallized sugar;                1    〃
  Boil the galls of logwood together in twelve pounds
  of water for an hour; or till half the water has
  been evaporated; strain the decoction through a
  hair sieve; and add the other ingredients; stir till
  the whole; especially the gum; be dissolved; and
  then leave at rest for twenty…four hours; when the
  ink is to be poured off into glass bottles and
  carefully corked。

  〃Mr。 J。 Horsley gives the following receipt:
  Triturate in a mortar thirty…six grains of gallic
  acid with three and one…half ounces of strong decoction
  of logwood; put it into an eight ounce
  bottle; together with one ounce of strong ammonia。
  Next dissolve one ounce of sulphate of iron in
  half an ounce of distilled water by the aid of heat;
  mix the solutions together by a few minutes'
  agitation; when a good ink will be formed; perfectly
  clear; which will keep good any length of time
  without depositing; thickening; or growing mouldy;
  which latter quality is a great desideratum; as ink
  undergoing that change becomes worthless。 It
  will not do to mix with ordinary ink; nor must
  greasy paper be used for writing on with it。〃

  〃New Indelible Marking Ink。Dr。 Elsner gives
  the following as a stamping ink for goods before
  undergoing bleaching; or treating with acids or
  alkalis。 It consists merely of one ounce of fine
  Chinese vermilion and one drachm of protosulphate
  of iron; well triturated with boiled oil varnish。〃
  *   *    *    *    *    *    *    *
  〃Put Aleppo galls; well bruised; 4 1/2 oz。 and
  logwood chipped; 1 oz。 with 3 pints soft water; into
  a stoneware mug: slowly boil; until one quart remains:
  add; well powdered; the pure green crystals
  of sulphate of iron; 2 1/2 oz。 blue vitriol or verdigris;
  (I think the latter better) 1/2 oz。 gum arabic
  2 oz。 and brown sugar; 2 oz。 Shake it occasionally
  a week after making: then after standing a
  day; decant and cork。 To prevent moulding add
  a little brandy or alcohol。
  〃The common copperas will not answer so well
  as it has already absorbed oxygen。〃

  〃Pour a gallon of boiling soft water on a pound
  of powdered galls; previously put into a proper
  vessel。 Stop the month of the vessel; and set it in
  the sun in summer; or in winter where it may be
  warmed by any fire; and let it stand two or three
  days。 Then add half a pound of green vitriol
  powdered; and having stirred the mixture well together
  with a wooden spatula; let it stand again
  for two or three days; repeating the stirring; when
  add further to it 5 ounces of gum arabic dissolved
  in a quart of boiling water; and lastly; 2 ounces of
  alum; after which let the ink be strained through a
  coarse linen cloth for use。
  〃Another。 A good and durable ink may be
  made by the following directions: To 2 pints of
  water add 3 ounces of the dark coloured rough…
  skinned Aleppo galls in gross powder; and of
  rasped logwood; green vitriol; and gum arabic;
  each; 1 oz。
  〃This mixture is to be put into a convenient
  vessel; and well shaken four or five time a day; for
  ten or twelve days; at the end of which time it will
  be fit for use; though it will improve by remaining
  longer on the ingredients。 Vinegar instead of
  water makes a deeper coloured ink; but its action
  on pens soon spoils them。〃

  〃Beat up well together in an iron mortar the
  following ingredients in a dry state; viz。 8 oz。 of
  best blue gall…nuts; 4 oz。 of copperas; or sulphate
  of iron; 2 oz。 of clear gum arabic; and 3 pints of
  clear rain water。
  〃When properly powdered; put to the above;
  let the whole be shaken in a stone bottle three or
  four times a day; for seven days; and at the end
  of that time; pour the liquid off gently into another
  stone bottle; which place in an airy situation
  to prevent it from becoming foul or mothery。
  When used put the liquid into the ink…stand as required。〃
  Take 6 quarts (beer measure) of clear water;
  soft or hard; and boil in it for about an hour 4 oz。
  of the best Campeachy logwood; chipped very thin
  across the grain; adding; from time to time; boiling
  water to supply in part the loss by evaporation;
  strain the liquor while hot; and suffer it to
  cool。 If the liquor is then short of 5 quarts; make
  it equal to this quantity by the addition of cold
  water。 After which let 1 lb。 of bruised blue galls;
  or 20 oz。 of the best common galls; be added。 Let
  a paste be prepared by triturating 4 oz。 of sulphate
  of iron (green vitriol) calcined to whiteness; and
  let half an ounce of acetite of copper (verdigris)
  be well incorporated together with the above decoction
  into a mass; throwing in also 3 oz。 of coarse
  brown sugar and 6 oz。 of gum Senegal; or Arabic。
  Put the materials into a stone bottle of such a size
  as to half fill it; let the mouth be left open; and
  shake the bottle well; twice or thrice a day。 In
  about a fortnight it may be filled; and kept in well…
  stopped bottles for use。 It requires to be protected
  from the frost; which would considerably
  injure it。〃
  Infuse a pound of pomegranate peels; broken
  to a gross powder; for 24 hours in a gallon and a
  half of water; and afterwards boil the mixture till
  1…3d of the fluid be wasted。 Then add to it 1 lb。
  of Roman vitriol; and 4 oz。 of gum arabic powdered;
  and continue the boiling till the vitriol and
  gum be dissolved; after which the ink must be
  strained through a coarse linen cloth; when it will
  be fit for use。
  〃This ink is somewhat more expensive; and yet
  not so good in hue as that made by the general
  method; but the colour which it has is not liable to
  vanish or fade in any length of time。〃

  〃Infuse a pound of galls powdered and 3 ounces
  of pomegranate peels; in a gallon of soft water for
  a week; in a gentle heat; and then strain off the
  fluid through a coarse linen cloth。 Then add to it
  8 oz。 of vitriol dissolved in a quart of water; and
  let them remain for a day or two; preparing in the
  meantime a decoction of logwood; by boiling a
  pound of the chips in a gallon of water; till 1…3d
  be wasted; and then straining the remaining fluid
  while it is hot。 Mix the decoction and the solution
  of galls and vitriol together; and add 5 oz。 of gum
  arabic; and then evaporate the mixture over a common
  fire to about 2 quarts; when the remainder
  must be put into a vessel proper for that purpose;
  and reduced to dryness; by hanging the vessel in
  boiling water。 The mass left; after the fluid has
  wholly exhaled; must be well powdered; and when
  wanted for use; may be converted into ink by the
  addition of water。〃

  〃Ten parts of logwood are to be exhausted with
  eighty of boiling water。 To the solution one thousandth
  of its weight of yellow chromate of potash
  is to be added gradually。 The liquid turns
  brown and at last blue…black。 No gum is needed;
  and the ink is not removed by soaking in water。

  〃Shellac; 2 oz。; borax; 1 oz。; distilled or rain
  water; 18 oz。 Boil the whole in a closely covered
  tin vessel; stirring it occasionally with a glass rod
  until the mixture has become homogeneous; filter
  when cold; and mix the fluid solution with an ounce
  of mucilage or gum arabic prepared by dissolving
  1 oz。 of gum in 2 oz。 of water; and add pulverized indigo
  and lampblack ad libitum。 Boil the whole
